SUBJECTS A VCE program at Laverton P-12 College will generally consist of 22 units taken over two to three years. Year 11 students must take 6 VCE units each semester which may include an accelerated subject (if approved). Year 12 students will normally undertake 5 unit 3/4 sequences in their final year of schooling. Students can gain credit for any VCE studies that are satisfactorily completed at an approved VCE provider. This is usually a VCE Language Other Than English (LOTE) st community schools. Students who choose to include their external study within their program must study at an approved VCE provider. Approved providers may be the Victorian School of Languages (VSL) and community LOTE schools. Please include the details of this subject on your Course Selection form. Depending on timetable options and available spaces in classes, changing from a Unit 1 study in Semester 1 to a different Unit 2 study in Semester 2 might be possible for students who realise that a particular subject does not suit their interests, strengths and aspirations. However, changes may not always be possible or sensible for the following reasons: • Class size and timetable constraints may prevent a transfer from one subject to another • Attaining success in a VCE Study depends on learning specific knowledge and skills so it is important to undertake both Units 1 and 2 in a sequence whenever possible. It is in the students best interest to think seriously and thoroughly about their course selections, rather than apply to switch studies later on in Year 11. Access to a small number of subjects may be dependant on the approval of a relevant subject teacher based on the student’s outcomes and application in the subject in Year 10.
