VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education)
Education has changed an is continuing to develop to meet the needs of an ever changing society. Beaufort Secondary College is a progressive school and keeps abreast of educational changes which have been introduced across the state. At Beaufort Secondary College we strive to meet the individual needs of each student.
 Beaufort Secondary College has introduced changes to the Year 11 and 12 program. Year 11 and Year12 now undertake “Senior Studies” not VCE. Students can now study VCE, VET, New Apprenticeship or VCAL in Year 11 and 12, or a combination of all courses. Each student has a course structured to meet their individual needs.
The Victorian Certificate of Education and the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning are designed as two-year courses of study, and are normally undertaken during the final two years of a student’s secondary education.
Overall responsibility for the accreditation and administration of the VCE, VCAL and VET rests with the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority(VCAA). Its regulations are published in the VCE Administrative Handbook and various documents. Schools, however, are responsible for delivering the VCE to students, and therefore are required to develop policies and procedures to give effect to the regulations established by VCAA.
VCE at Beaufort Secondary College
Despite the fact that Beaufort Secondary College is a small school, it offers an excellent number and range of VCE, VCAL and VET studies, and students can meet all the major tertiary prerequisites and /or components of vocational training. The actual number and composition of units taught at the college will, however, vary from year to year according to staff availability, student demand and the needs of the other levels of the college.
