A student is NOT eligible for Chinese Second Language if they have had either:
-
12 months or more education in a school where Chinese is the medium of instruction, or
-
3 years (36 months) or more residence in any of the VCAA nominated countries or regions.
The nominated countries and regions are China, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau.
A student is eligible for Chinese Second Language Advanced if:
-
they have had no more than 7 years of education in a school where Chinese is the medium of instruction, and
-
the highest level of education attained in a school where Chinese is the medium of instruction is no greater than the equivalent of Year 7 in a Victorian school.
The time periods referred to in these criteria will be counted cumulatively since the time of the student’s birth.
As the formal education commencement age for a Victorian student is 5 years of age, then all applicants will be deemed to have commenced formal education by the end of their 5th year of age, regardless of the setting.
