VCE

 

 

A highly specialised team surrounds the VCE process within MGGS.  One of the special features of the School is that the student does not feel there is any hierarchy of staff to whom she may turn.  In the first place she turns to someone with whom she feels comfortable, who will then direct her, if necessary, to the appropriate professional colleague according to her needs.

 

The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), administered by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), is a two-year course designed to be taken by Year 11 and 12 students. While Units 1 and 2 are designed for Year 11 students and Units 3 and 4 for Year 12 students there is flexibility within the VCE so it is possible for Year 11 students to study Units 3 and 4 in some studies and for Year 10 students to study Units 1 and 2.

 

To be awarded the VCE students must satisfactorily complete the minimum of sixteen units of study which include:

 

*

three units from the English group, with at least one unit at Unit 3 or 4 level

 

*

three sequences of Units 3 and 4 studies other than English

 

Students at MGGS usually complete a total of twenty-three units, with one Unit in Year 10, six of Units 1 and 2 in Year 11, and five Units 3 and 4 in Year 12.

NB. The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) advises that satisfactory completion of both Units 3 and 4 of an English group sequence is required for the calculation of the student’s Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank (ENTER).
