Appendix B: Communication to Staff and Students  \nThe purpose of this handbook is to provide teachers, parents and students with a reference manual of current Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority  \n(VCAA) policies for VCE, VCE VM and VET at both the State and College level.  \nIt contains general rules about the VCE, VCE VM and VET and speciﬁc procedures followed at Mickleham Secondary College.  \nRef: VCAA, VCE Administrative Handbook, [2025. www.vcaa.vic.edu.au](2025. www.vcaa.vic.edu.au)  \n2. The VCE Program  \nThe college oﬀers the following cer@ﬁcates as per VCAA recommenda@ons.  \nVictorian Cer,ﬁcate of Educa,on  \n(VCE)  \nVictorian Cer,ﬁcate of Educa,on – Voca,onal Major (VCE VM)  \nVictorian Pathways Cer1ﬁcate  \n(VPC)  \nVictorian Certiﬁcate of Education:  \nThe Victorian Certiﬁcate of Education (VCE) offers a broad range of study options. You can choose a variety of studies that let you explore your interests and pursue 2your goals. Unit 1 and 2 subjects are usually studied in Year 11, and Unit 3 and 4 subjects are usually studied in Year 12. Completing the VCE can give you an ATAR score, offering a direct pathway to university. The VCE can take you in many different directions after school and is a great choice if you prefer learning in a classroom environment and know you might want to go to university right after school.  \nVictorian Certiﬁcate of Education – Vocational Major:  \nThe VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) is a two-year applied learning program that’s part of the VCE. You will get skills for work and life and hands-on experience in one or more industries, ﬁnishing school with an employability edge. Your teachers will assess your progress through a range of activities. Your only exam is the General Achievement Test (GAT) (Part A only) . The four VCE VM study areas use a different form of assessment to other VCE studies. The assessment is completed by your teacher in class, who’ll support you to achieve the requirements. VCE VM subjects don’t receive a study score, so they won’t count towards an ATAR. The VCE VM is a great choice if you prefer to learn in a real-world environment and don’t need an ATAR.  \nVictorian Pathways Certiﬁcate:  \nThe Victorian Pathways Certiﬁcate (VPC) is an inclusive, ﬂexible option to complete your studies. It’s designed for students who, for various reasons, aren’t able or ready to complete the VCE or VCE VM. The VPC is normally completed in Year 11 and 12, but it can be started earlier or be ﬁnishedover a period longer than two years. You can work out the best time for you to start and ﬁnish the VPC with your school.  \nThe coursework is delivered at a more accessible level than the VCE and VCE VM. Your teachers assess your progress through classroom activities. The VPC is not an option for all students and will be recommended by your school to meet the needs of a speciﬁc student, decided in partnership with the student, parent and the school.  \nThe College ensures that staff and students are provided with all relevant information regarding VCE policies processes and other relevant Senior School information in a timely manner. The Senior School Assistant Principal and Senior School Year Level Coordinator are responsible for the dissemination of all relevant information to staff and students.  \nRefer to Appendix B for processes regarding how information is made available to staff and students.  \n3. Attendance  \nSuccess in VCE starts with attending each day.  \nIt is not okay to be away.  \n85% attendance or more is mandatory","cbCaijzWZliNP1Om","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijzWZliNP1Om","pdf",647771,44,"English","# Senior School Leadership Team\n# The VCE Program\n# Attendance\n# Integrity of Student Records\n# Authentication and breaches\n# Eligibility for the award of the VCE\n# Satisfactory Completion of the VCE\n# Scored Achievement in School Based Assessment\n# Special Provision\n# Appendix A: Professional Development made available for staff\n# Appendix B: Communication to Staff and Students","[{\"question\":\"What certificates and programs are included in this handbook?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook provides reference guidance for VCE, VCE VM, and VET policies, and also covers related processes and procedures used by Mickleham Secondary College.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the attendance requirement for students in senior years?\",\"answer\":\"85% attendance or more is mandatory in senior years to support success in VCE-related learning and requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the handbook address absences and assessment when a student cannot attend?\",\"answer\":\"For prolonged absences or inability to complete assessment due to illness or special circumstances, the school may grant Special Provision for School-based Assessment upon application, with the expectation that required application and supporting evidence are completed and retained.\"}]","Senior School Certificate Handbook - 2026 | PDF",1789910872,111]
