Year 11 – 12

Curriculum

At Edenhope College we aim to provide the widest possible choice in terms of pathways and subject selection for our Senior Students. Despite our small size, we believe we punch above our weight when it comes to the range of subjects we can offer, and the very small class sizes we can accommodate. Our experienced staff and excellent facilities enable our students to receive the very best educational opportunities.

Year 11 & 12 Pathways

Our Year 11 and 12 students are able to choose either a Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE/VCE VM) pathway including Vocational Major, or a Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) pathway.

The VCE is an internationally recognised matriculation certificate that enables entry into further tertiary study (such as university or TAFE), and the world of work. A VCE programme is taken over Years 11 and 12 and usually consists of the completion of 20-24 semester length units. While VCE requires the successful completion of VCE English at both Years 11 and 12, in all other respects students are able to choose their own units to study subject to availability.

VPC provides a programme that allows for practical, hands on, learning opportunities with immediate workplace experiences, as well as literacy and numeracy skills coupled with the opportunity to build personal skills that are important for life and work. It is also a recognised qualification. Students who complete VPC may be interested in pursuing further training at TAFE, beginning an apprenticeship, or heading straight into the world of work.
