Notice to Schools 99 - 15 October 2026

Update: Retention of VCE examination papers

Principals/Directors and VCE Coordinators 

The VCAA reminds schools they are allowed and encouraged to retain unused or surplus copies of the VCE examination question books, CDs and USBs for libraries and teacher use. Schools may also retain spare copies of the multiple-choice answer sheets (MCAS). 

Schools may copy and use these materials in accordance with the flexible educational allowance the VCAA makes specifically for schools. 

For further information, please read the VCAA copyright policy.

Used VCE examination materials left behind by students must be retained in the school’s secure room until after students have received their results. These examination materials must not be used for school resource collections or libraries.
