VCE Season of Excellence

VCE Season of Excellence 2022 commences soon

Preparations for the VCE Season of Excellence are in full swing. Following Top Class Music selection panels held on Saturday 5 February and Sunday 6 February, all exhibitions and concerts have now been programmed, and the full cohort of Season 2022 participants has been confirmed. Our congratulations to all students who were shortlisted and selected for this year!

The VCE Season of Excellence includes Top Talks, Top Designs, Top Class Dance, Top Class Sound, Top Class Music, Top Class Drama and Theatre Studies, Top Arts, Top Screen and Top Acts. It showcases exemplary works by VCE and VCE VET students from 2021 across the performing arts, technology, design, visual arts and research studies.

The Season will kick off with Top Talks on the morning of Friday 4 March at State Library Victoria. Four Extended Investigation students will share their independent research in 10-minute presentations. While in-person bookings are now sold out, the event will also be live streamed, and online bookings are available via the State Library Victoria.

By now, we are accustomed to adaptation and this year we have delayed Top Class programming to ensure the safety of all performers. The Top Class Dance concert will now be held on Wednesday 16 March, while Top Class Sound will be amalgamated with the Top Class Music concert at 1pm on Tuesday 22 March.

Top Designs at Melbourne Museum is emerging as yet another showcase of innovative design created by young students across Victoria. There are a wide variety of works in Top Designs this year, including works that represent four VCE VET studies: Integrated Technologies, Music Industry (Sound Production), Creative and Digital Media, and Furnishing. In addition to the amazing student works, the exhibition design by HoHab and graphic design by Nuttshell have come together to make the Top Designs 2022 experience truly special. The exhibition will open on Saturday 2 April. You can find all dates, booking details, downloadable programs, and additional information updates on the Season Hub.
