Subject Selections
Subject Selection Process
Student subject selections for the following year are completed during Term 3 each year. Students are encouraged to consult with appropriate Heads of Faculty, Careers Practitioners, their parents/guardians and mentors before selecting their subjects.
Most students will have finalised their VCE program by the start of the new school year; however, if a student is experiencing difficulty, they should first see their VCE subject teacher. If a student needs to change a subject, they must consult with the VCE Coordinator to determine if changes are possible.
A subject change of request form is available from the VCE Coordinator and may be processed if submitted:
Prior to commencement of Jumpstart
Before the end of the school year, so that students can receive all holiday homework
Before Semester 2 commences for Unit 2 subjects only
A subject change will be given consideration where:
Class size and timetable feasibility permit the change; and
The change is approved by parents/guardians and the current subject teacher has reported on the student’s progress; and
The student has investigated the effects on tertiary course selection and career choice of the change.
A subject change may not be possible when:
It requires changes to other subject groupings.
The class the student wishes to enter is already full.
Subjects have begun assessment, and too much content has been covered to reasonably allow changes; and/or
The student has not successfully completed prerequisite studies or demonstrated subject readiness.
Note: VCAA also imposes deadlines for enrolment and withdrawal from subjects.
