Victorian Certificate of Education
Over the last five years the median ENTER achieved by our VCE
students has been above 94.00
This means that more than 50% of students are ranked in the top
6% of students in Australia. Consequently, our students have excellent
access to their choice of university courses. The focus in the senior
years is maintaining breadth of experience and academic excellence.
Melbourne High School offers 150 different VCE Units and access
to VET Certificates.
Most VCE studies have four semester long units. Units 1 and 2 can
generally be taken
as single units. Units 3 and 4 are more advanced and must be taken
as sequence.
Year 10 students at Melbourne High School are given the opportunity
to attempt up to
two non-sequential VCE units.
At Year 11, most students undertake 12 semester length units over
the full year. Most
students at Year 11 take a Unit 3 and 4 subject.
Year 11 students at Melbourne High School normally undertake English
Units 1 and 2 per semester during School time. Students who attempt
a Unit 3 and 4 sequence at Year 11 generally do this very successfully
in areas where no prior knowledge is assumed. This helps students
to maximise their ENTER.
Year 12 students undertake five Unit 3 and 4 sequences of study.
Many Year 12 students study Units 3 and 4 without having studied
the corresponding Units 1 and 2 in subjects.
