Students graduate with the VCE by satisfactorily completing a minimum of:- 16 units (semesters) of VCE studies- three of which must be from the English group - plus three Unit 3 and 4 sequences in studies other
than English - Of these 16 units, some can be VET (some scored and
some unscored)- At Marymede Catholic College in 2015 we will offer
both VCE and scored VET subjects for Year 11 students

How to Achieve a Satisfactory VCE Unit A student must:
Produce work that demonstrates achievement of the outcome/s
Observe school and VCAA rules
If a teacher judges that all outcomes are achieved, the student satisfactorily completes the unit.
The decision to award an ‘S’ for the unit is distinct from the assessment of levels of achievement.
![Page 8: Marymede Catholic College](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816191550346895dd12c6d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

• Year 11 is the first time students really get to define their own learning direction
• This is a key decision to direct future pathways• There is great responsibility associated as this indicates
a student’s capacity to manage their own learning• It involves research, careful consideration and mature
decision-making• Support and counselling will be provided along the way.

Which pathway is best for me?
What is your preferred method of learning?
What pathways do you think you are likely to pursue in your future? What are your
strengths?
Where are you likely to achieve success?

VCE subject selection Consider your strengths Reflect what you are interested in studying at
tertiary level Do not select subjects on the basis of scaling If you are undecided about your future, keep
career options open within the relevant areas you are pursuing
Select what is best for you, not on the basis of friend selection or teacher preference
Caution: all studies are subject to timetable constraints and levels of student interest

in three different areas: School, work & TAFE.
• Each component of the course has its own particular demands.
• VCAL students need to be highly organised.

Some facts
•The longer students stay at school the better their opportunities•Regardless of pathways students getting jobs have a good set of reports, can communicate and present well•Outcomes for girls in particular who have not completed year 12 are not good, boys a bit different as still can access a traditional trade.
![Page 30: Marymede Catholic College](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816191550346895dd12c6d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

earnings by about 30%. The effects slightly higher amongst women• Apprenticeships increase average earnings by 20%, slightly higher
amongst men• A TAFE Diploma increases average earnings by about 14%• A Traineeship increases earnings by about 8%• A TAFE certificate increases earnings by about 5%But ALL provide better opportunities for employment and developing a career

I don’t know what I want to do when I leave School.
• Don’t worry, many students don’t, many students do. Students are all different
• Student’s do need to be aware of their strengths and weakness. Do subjects you enjoy and do well. This may lead to a career
• Enjoy the journey by picking the subjects you enjoy• Students will change their careers a number of
times• Students need employability skills.
![Page 32: Marymede Catholic College](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816191550346895dd12c6d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Marymede Catholic College
Pathway Planning• Student’s are beginning to develop individual pathways to a
career. This pathway will be different for different individual students.
• There are often many pathways to a particular career.• Students need to develop their own self awareness and
awareness of career opportunities.• Students need to follow their passions whether they be in
school or out of school.• Students will change careers a number of times.• Technology is changing rapidly, students will work in careers
not yet invented.

PathwaysPathways to University, TAFE and training continue to expand.
•Many TAFE courses have pathways into University and give students credit towards a University course.•There are a number of Independent Tertiary Colleges providing pathways to University e.g. Latrobe Melbourne.•Some Universities have bridging programs into University for students who do not quite get the ATAR e.g. Federation University “fast program” and Victoria University “foundation courses”•Not just ATAR. EAP, PPP and Aspire

Access and EquityDo not let adversity whether it be financial,
illness, etc put students off going to University. Government and Universities are putting significant financial resources into providing University accessibility for all. Examples are:
• VTAC SEAS program• Government scholarships for students on
Centrelink benefits.

• A good ATAR is a subjective outcome• To some a good ATAR is 99.95, to others
it’s anything over 50. • Students should consider what ATAR
they need to– Pursue their career dreams – Keep their options open for courses, they
may change their mind.
What is a good ATAR?
![Page 38: Marymede Catholic College](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816191550346895dd12c6d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Marymede Catholic College
• Scaling is not predetermined - individuals change but patterns don’t usually change.
• Doing a language won’t add 5 points to your ATAR.• Doing a mathematics won’t automatically guarantee a
higher ATAR.• Doing studies based on scaling patterns won’t guarantee a
‘good’ ATAR unless you are good across all of your studies. • A humanities based curriculum does not guarantee a low
ATAR.• Scaling will only affect your ATAR by 1 point
