Students who are eligible for EAL support are entitled to some modifications to Units 1 and 2, to be negotiated by the teacher and Head of English. In Year 12, the course is prescribed, but there are slight changes to the regular VCE structure, whereby Outcome 1 is scored differently. There is no change with Outcome 2, and Outcome 3 requires a different task to be completed, which is also assessed differently.

In Unit 3, students use Inquiry and Project-based learning as starting points to develop[ a Body of Work. They explore ideas and experiment with materials, techniques and processes using the Creative Practice. The research of historical and contemporary artists is integral to students’ use of the Creative Practice and informs the basis of their investigation. Students also investigate the issues that may arise from the artworks they view and discuss, or those evolving from the practice of the artist.

In Unit 4, students continue to develop their art practice through project-based and inquiry learning as their research and exploration continues to support the development of their Body of Work. Throughout their research, students study the practices of selected historical and contemporary artists to inform their own art practice. They use the Interpretive Lenses to analyse, compare and interpret the meanings and messages of artworks produced by the artists they study. Students also apply te Interpretive Lenses throughout the Creative Practice to resolve and refine their Body of Work. Students continue to build upon the ideas begun in Unit 3 and present a critique of their use of Creative Practice.

This unit focuses on two investigations of geographical change: change to land cover and change to land use. Land cover includes biomes such as forest, grassland, tundra and wetlands, as well as land covered by ice and water. Land cover is the natural state of the biophysical environment developed over time as a result of the interconnection between climate, soils, landforms and flora and fauna and, increasingly, interconnections with human activity. Natural land cover has been altered by many processes such as geomorphological events, plant succession and climate change. People have modified land cover to produce a range of land uses to satisfy needs such as housing, resource provision, communication, recreation and so on.

VCE VET?
Vocational Education and Training (VET) allows senior secondary students to participate in programs selected from a range of industry areas. VCE and VCAL students are able to learn practical workplace skills that are recognised by industry and employers, combining classroom learning with hands-on workplace learning. It aims to help meet the needs of industry while preparing young people for the workplace of the future.
NATIONALLY ACCREDITED CERTIFICATE COURSES
The courses studied are training qualifications within the Australian Quality Training Framework. They are comprised of industry competency standards and are delivered by Registered Training Organisations. This means that both the certificate and its components (Units of Competence) are recognised nation-wide.
Units of Competence that have been successfully completed by students during their VCE VET course may be credited to other training or employment situations. For example, an apprentice may be excused from studying some competencies at trade school as he/she has already completed them as part of their VCE VET course.
CREDIT TOWARDS THE VCE A major advantage for students studying a VCE VET course, is that it also counts towards their VCE program. As a result, at the end of Year 12 successful students will receive:
The results for a number of VCE VET courses also contribute to a student’s ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank) score. These VCE VET Programs see students undertake SAC’s and an end of year exam just like a normal Unit 3-4 VCE Program.
CREDIT TOWARDS THE VCAL
VCE VET courses provide a valuable opportunity for VCAL students to achieve credits in the VCAL key area of “Industry Specific Skills”.
VCE VET AT WONTHAGGI SECONDARY COLLEGE WSC has been active in providing VCE VET options for its students. Students of WSC have accessed a variety of rewarding VCE VET courses both on-campus and off-campus. In addition to the advantages listed above, it is most pleasing that students are able to develop skills in areas in which they have a genuine interest, while at the same
time enhancing their employment and training prospects. Auspicing arrangements with Registered Training Organisations allows WSC to offer a number of VCE VET courses to students. These are timetabled along with traditional subjects throughout the school week. Please note that, like all other subjects offered at Years 11 and 12, the final decision on which subjects will operate is dependent on student selections, staffing availability and timetabling restrictions.
COST
Students selecting a VET subject offered by the College will be required to pay a “materials levy” for their chosen subject/s. If students choose to use materials other than those provided by the school they will be expected to pay the difference between the cost of the materials provided and the materials requested. Below is a list of estimated materials charges for 2020 on campus VET subjects:
Please contact the school if payment of these fees will cause financial hardship
