Senior Students (Year 11 and 12) have two distinct pathways at Staughton College.

Senior Students (Year 11 and 12) have two distinct pathways at Staughton College.

The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is for students wishing to pursue further study at a tertiary level. This pathway allows for students to select subjects that they will succeed in, and also assist with University or TAFE entry.

The second is the VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM). This pathway prepares students looking to obtain an apprenticeship through the development of study and work skills relevant to their trade.  The VCE VM program prepares students for work with a focus on WorkSafe procedures.

VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education)

At Staughton we offer a range of subjects across the Arts, Humanities, Maths, Sciences, Technology and Health & PE areas. To support students through their VCE, students are linked with their learning coordinator who provides support for students in their learning progress. Year 11 and 12 students are offered a range of academic skill programs that provide students with valuable insight and skills to succeed in their VCE. In preparation for exams, students are given the opportunity to attend external revision lectures to help ensure high levels of confidence and understanding  at this critical time in their education.

VCE subjects at Staughton College include:

VCE VM (Vocational Major)

The VCE VM program is a senior secondary certificate that provides students with literacy, numeracy and practical work-related experience that are valuable skills in their career pathway.

The VCE VM program is a great choice for ‘hands-on’ learners who are interested in going to TAFE, completing an apprenticeship or would like to go straight into the workforce after finishing school.

The VCE VM program has four curriculum areas, called strands. These strands are:

• Literacy and numeracy skills
• Industry specific skills (VET and SBAT)
• Work related skills
• Personal development skills.

VCE VM units are designed to develop and assess the skills of students through different strands of the course. Each unit is 100 hours in length and contains accredited learning outcomes that must be completed in order to meet the requirements of the course. The completion of each unit contributes one credit towards the certificate at the appropriate award level.

At Staughton College the Personal Development Skills strand is offered to students via the following electives:

• Food
• Music
• Physical Education
• Community Practice
• Art
