Senior Secondary Curriculum
Eligibility for the award of the VPC
A student is awarded the VPC when they have satisfactorily completed a combination of units that meet the VPC minimum requirement.
A VPC unit is satisfactorily completed once all the modules within that unit have been completed. Satisfactory completion of a module is based on the teacher deciding that the student has demonstrated achievement of the learning goals specified in the module. Students can only be awarded the unit upon satisfactory completion of all modules within that unit. Evidence of achievement of a learning goal must be ascertained through a range of assessment activities and tasks. Teachers must develop courses that provide appropriate opportunities for students to demonstrate satisfactory completion
Minimum requirement
The minimum requirement for the VPC is satisfactory completion of 12 units, which must include:
• at least 2 units of VPC Literacy (or units from the VCE English group, including VCE Vocational Major Literacy)
• at least 2 units of VPC Numeracy (or units from the VCE Mathematics group, including VCE Vocational Major Numeracy)
•
at least 2 VPC Personal Development Skills units
