It explains the VCE structure and unit framework, including semester-length units and required sequences for Units 3 and 4. The handbook details minimum unit completion rules, English group requirements, and pathways such as VET and Higher Education studies, including how these can contribute to VCE completion and ATAR calculations. It also covers program modification processes for reducing subjects or changing study status.","VCE Handbook  \n2026  \n2 VCE Handbook  \nCONTENTS  \n\n| VCE Handbook | page 3 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Victorian Certificate of Education (overview) | page 4 |\n| Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) | page 5 |\n| Modified VCE programs and school-assessed studies | page 6 |\n| Assessment principles of VCE studies | page 8 |\n| School-assessed tasks and coursework (assessment rules) | page 13 |\n| Attendance | page 17 |\n| Special provision | page 17 |\n| Other | page 20 |\n| VCE HANDBOOK\u003Cbr>2026 |  |\n\nThe purpose of this handbook is to outline the policies and procedures through which the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is administered at Beaconhills College. It is intended to be compliant with all statutory regulations prescribed by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) .  \nShould any member of the Beaconhills College community (students, families or staff) have any questions with regard to this handbook, please contact the Education Co-ordinator at their campus.  \nVCE Handbook 3  \nVICTORIAN CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION  \nOVERVIEW  \nThe following information is a summary of the structure of the VCE. It is not intended to be a complete description of all aspects. Further information can be found at VCAA How VCE works  \nShould the description below not answer a specific question, concerns should be directed to the Education Co-ordinator at a student’s respective campus.  \nStudents at Beaconhills College study the VCE as their only educational pathway in years 11 and  \n12. Beaconhills College does not offer Vocational Major (VM) subjects as part of its VCE Program.  \nVCE UNIT STRUCTURE OVERVIEW  \n• Each VCE unit is numbered 1, 2, 3 or 4.  \n• Each unit is one semester in length.  \n• Units 1 and 2, generally taken in Year 11, may be done separately or as a sequence.  \n• Units 3 and 4, all studies must be taken as a sequence.  \nREQUIREMENTS OF THE VCE  \nTo achieve the VCE, a student must satisfactorily complete a total of no fewer than 16 units.  \nSatisfactorily completed units must include:  \n• three units from the English group **, including at least one Unit 3 and 4 sequence  \nand  \n• three sequences of Units 3 and 4 studies, including VCE VET Unit 3 and 4 sequences.  \n**English units may be selected from Foundation English Units 1 to 2, English Units 1 to 4, English (EAL) Units 3 and 4 (Pakenham Campus only), English Language Units 1 to 4, and Literature Units 1 to 4.  \nPlease note that VTAC advises that for the calculation of a student’s Australian Tertiary Entrance Rank (ATAR), satisfactory completion of both Units 3 and 4 of an English sequence is also required.  \n4 VCE Handbook  \nVICTORIAN CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION  \nOVERVIEW (CONTINUED)  \nOTHER COURSES OF STUDY WITHIN THE VCE  \nVOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET) COURSES  \nVocational Education and Training (VET) courses may be taken as part of the VCE Program. These are usually taken as one subject within the Year 10, Year 11 or Year 12 programs and can contribute to a student’s ATAR if they complete the scored assessment. These courses may be classified as dual recognition, meaning they are equivalent to VCE units.  \nHIGHER EDUCATION STUDIES IN THE VCE  \nThe Higher Education studies in the VCE Program is offered by higher education institutions and is designed for independent and high-achieving VCE students. Two types of study, Extension and Advanced Standing, are offered through this program. A Higher Education study may contribute towards satisfactory completion for the award of the VCE as an unscored Units 3 and 4 sequence. VTAC has advised that a Higher Education Study can contribute to a student’s ATARas a fifth or sixth study via an increment.  \nAUSTRALIAN TERTIARY ADMISSION RANK  \nATAR  \nTo receive an ATAR, students must achieve study scores for four Units 3 and 4 sequences and satisfactorily complete both Unit 3 and 4 of an English subject.  \nNote that if a student achieves more than one NA for an assessment task in any study, then no score can be ca","cbCaia9HbUCM3x2b","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia9HbUCM3x2b","pdf",531488,14,22,"English","en",105,"# Victorian Certificate of Education (overview)\n## Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)\n## Modified VCE programs and school-assessed studies\n## Assessment principles of VCE studies\n## School-assessed tasks and coursework (assessment rules)\n## Attendance\n## Special provision\n## Other","[{\"question\":\"How is the VCE structured into units and sequences at Beaconhills College?\",\"answer\":\"Each VCE unit is numbered 1-4 and lasts one semester.
