Secondary school is a taxing time for Victorian students, as it is for students in other parts of the world. Secondary school, and in particular the final year, can often be a huge determinant in how a student will do in following years.
Students who stay at school through the final year will be required to undertake exams, known as VCE exams, during year 12. These exams are extremely important in the life of a secondary school student, and for this reason year 12 is a difficult year for both students and parents.
The acronym VCE stands for Victorian Certificate of Education, and it is the final year of study for Victorian secondary students. Students who successfully complete their examinations in their VCE year will qualify for a score, known as an ATAR score.
A student's ATAR score is very significant. It is calculated on a compilation of examination results for individual VCE subjects, and it is the ATAR score which is the primary factor in determining a student eligibility for entering many university courses.
For this reason year 12 for Victorian secondary school students is extremely important. And in particular their examination results for the year are very important as well.
However it is possible to commence VCE subjects before year 12, and even to qualify in these subjects. It is also possible to study the VCE subjects outside of the formal secondary school system, and this is often undertaken by students who wish to pursue niche subjects not commonly offered by the secondary schools.
If a student wishes to pursue a subject not offered by their school, VCE dance for example, though there are many others, they can do so through what is known as an "private provider".
A private provider is an organisation or person who is registered to provide teaching services to secondary school students in a VCE subject.
Students who elect to study a subject not offered by their school in year 12 will normally approach a private provider and study for that year under that provider. The provider will put the students into their exams.
Year 12 is a taxing time, and many secondary schools offer a limited range of subjects for year 12 students. There are many who wish to study outside the system so that they can study subjects more to their liking, and possibly more relevant to their preferred career.
Fortunately the Victorian school system is flexible enough to cater for these students by supporting private providers to provide a range of off campus VCE subjects.
