Notice to Schools 43 - 29 May 2025

Release of the 2025 VCE Examination Timetable

Principals/Directors, VASS administrators, VCE coordinators

The 2025 VCE examination timetable is now available. It has been developed using 2025 VCE and scored VCE VET Unit 3-4 enrolments and addresses the following key priorities:

  • minimise the number of students required to sit more than 2 examinations on any one day
  • minimise the number of clashes where students have 2 examinations in the same session
  • avoid scheduling another examination on the same day as English and English as an Additional Language (EAL)
  • accommodate the marking and processing requirements of VCE written examinations, providing enough time for students to receive their final results in December 2025.

Dates and times for 2025 VCE written examinations are now displayed in VASS.

Student Examination/Assessment Timetables for the 2025 VCE written examination period are being finalised and will be available in VASS during the week beginning Monday 1 September 2025.
