Senior secondary education in Victoria has changed. There are more options than ever for your child in Years 10 to 12.
If your child is in Year 9 or 10, join this webinar to learn more about how they can pursue their goals in senior secondary education. Susan Bell from the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority and representatives from the Department of Education will talk through:
• the VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM)
• VCE VM Work Related Skills and VCE VM Personal Development Skills studies
• the Victorian Pathways Certificate
• more vocational education and training (VET) for school students.
There will be time at the end of the webinar for your questions about students’ options for senior secondary education.
About the VCE Vocational Major
The VCE Vocational Major is a 2-year applied learning program within the VCE. It supports students to pursue their goals and aspirations with confidence, and provides them with skills and knowledge for work and life.
Completing the VCE Vocational Major means:
• being ready to take on more learning after school, especially at TAFE or in an apprenticeship or traineeship
• working towards one or more vocational education and training (VET) qualifications
• having an employability edge after school.
The VCE Vocational Major is available at our school.
For the first time next year, 2 studies in the VCE Vocational Major program – VCE VM Work Related Skills and VCE VM Personal Development Skills – will be available to any VCE student to include in their VCE.
About the Victorian Pathways Certificate
The Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) is a flexible Year 11 and 12 course designed for a small number of students who, for a range of reasons, are not able or ready to undertake the VCE or the VCE Vocational Major. Suitability for the VPC is based on agreement between the student, their parents and their school.
About VET for school students
Your child can work towards one or more VET certificates in their VCE (including the Vocational Major) or VPC program.
VET is learning where your child will develop targeted and practical skills. The skills they learn relate to a career pathway, so they can apply them at work or in further education and training.
VET at school can be a path to a rewarding career in any industry. VET students get to try professions before leaving school.

Celebrating 65 Years Of Service Established in 1959, VPC was originally known as the Parents and Friends Federation of Victoria. The parents of Catholic school children decided to act to empower school-going children and their parents and created what is now called VPC. We have come a long way and are now the most vibrant online community for parents of school aged children in Victoria.
VPC is a registered charity dedicated to everyone who supports Parents educating children. Being online has expanded our service to accommodate parents in Victoria, Australia and even globally – an exciting change, congratulations and thank you for expanding our ability to serve.
