It is a qualification that is recognised around the world.  \nThe VCE provides pathways to further study at university, Technical and Further Education (TAFE) and to the world of work. The VCE is designed to be undertaken in Years 11 and 12 but can be started in Year 10 if students are academically ready. Year 10 and 11 students may be offered the opportunity to accelerate in selected VCE studies subject to their academic performance in years 9 and 10. Subject selection is a key success factor for a student to successfully complete their VCE.  \nGuidelines  \nIn order to be eligible for the VCE, at least 16 units must be satisfactorily completed including:  \n􀁸 three units from the English group, including a Unit 3-4 sequence. English units may be selected from Foundation English Units 1 and 2, English Units 1 to 4, English (EAL) Units 3 and 4, English Language Units 1 to 4, and Literature Units 1 to 4.  \n􀁸 at least three sequences of Units 3 and 4 studies other than English which may include any number of English sequences once the English requirement has been met.  \nNote: The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) advises that for the calculation of the student’s Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), satisfactory completion of both Units 3 and 4 of an English sequence is required.  \nStudents are generally required to undertake the following:  \n􀁸 Year 11: 12 units (six studies)  \n􀁸 Year 12: 10 units (five studies)  \nThe VCE year is divided into two semesters, with one unit spanning one semester. A typical VCE program at Swinburne Senior Secondary College is:  \n\n| Year 11 |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Semester One | Semester Two |\n| English/Literature/English Language | English/Literature/English Language |\n| Unit 1 Subject | Unit 2 Subject |\n| Unit 1 Subject | Unit 2 Subject |\n| Unit 1 Subject | Unit 2 Subject |\n| Unit 1 Subject | Unit 2 Subject |\n| Unit 1 Subject | Unit 2 Subject |\n\n\n| Year 12 |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Semester One | Semester Two |\n| English/Literature/English Language | English/Literature/English Language |\n| Unit 3 Subject | Unit 4 Subject |\n| Unit 3 Subject | Unit 4 Subject |\n| Unit 3 Subject | Unit 4 Subject |\n| Unit 3 Subject | Unit 4 Subject |\n\nImplementation  \nSatisfactory Completion of a Unit  \nTo satisfactorily complete a unit in any study, students must demonstrate achievement of each of the outcomes for the unit as specified in the study design.  \nAchievement of an outcome means:  \n􀁸 the work meets the required standard as described in the outcomes;  \n􀁸 the work was submitted on time;  \n􀁸 the work is clearly the student’s own;  \n􀁸 there has been no substantive breach of rules.  \nIf all outcomes are achieved, the student is awarded S (Satisfactory) for the unit.  \nA student may not be granted satisfactory completion if:  \n􀁸 the work is not of the required standard as described in the outcomes;  \n􀁸 the student has failed to meet a school deadline or approved extension of time for the assessment task;  \n􀁸 the work cannot be authenticated;  \n􀁸 there has been a substantive breach of rules including school attendance rules.  \nThe VCAA VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook states that all VCE units require a minimum of 50 hours of class time. A student needs to attend sufficient class time to complete work. Evidence of the completion of work will be in the form of a record of the work completed in class and for homework as well as the satisfactory completion of assessment tasks. Teachers will advise students about the work required to satisfy a unit at the beginning of each semester.  \nVCE Assessment Principles  \nAssessment is an integral part of teaching and learning that at the senior secondary level:  \n􀁸 identifies opportunities for further learning  \n􀁸 describes student achievement  \n􀁸 articulates and maintains standards  \n􀁸","cbCaieRqjJcj8xdl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieRqjJcj8xdl","pdf",613094,"English","# Purpose\n# Guidelines\n# Implementation\n## Satisfactory Completion of a Unit\n## VCE Assessment Principles","[{\"question\":\"What are the main pathways provided by the VCE?\",\"answer\":\"The VCE provides pathways to further study at university, Technical and Further Education (TAFE), and to the world of work.\"},{\"question\":\"What eligibility requirements must students meet for the VCE?\",\"answer\":\"Students must satisfactorily complete at least 16 units, including three units from the English group with a Unit 3-4 sequence.\"},{\"question\":\"When can a student be awarded satisfactory completion for a unit?\",\"answer\":\"A student is awarded S (Satisfactory) when all required outcomes are achieved, the work meets the standard, is submitted on time, is the student’s own, and there is no substantive breach of rules.\"}]","VCE Policy - Swinburne Senior Secondary College | PDF",1789909916,18]
