Senior Secondary Certificate Reform

Professional learning survey

We are currently gathering feedback from teachers to inform further professional learning for the VCE Vocational Major and the Victorian Pathways Certificate in 2023. Please take a few minutes to tell us what you would like to learn about in support of the new VCE VM and VPC curricula. The survey will stay open until 19 May.

Upcoming webinars

Subject-specific curriculum and assessment webinars will run during Term 2 for each VCE VM and VPC subject – Work Related Skills, Numeracy, Literacy and Personal Development Skills.

Read further details of the webinar topics and how to register.

Term 1 webinar recordings

Term 1 webinar recordings are now available.

Communities of Practice

To support teachers to implement the VCE VM and VPC, we have established Applied Learning communities of practice across the state. The groups form a robust network of teachers supporting each other, focused on the collaborative development of high-quality curriculum and pedagogical practice and are led by expert applied-learning practitioners in each area. VCAA staff provide support to the COPs.
