Senior Secondary Curriculum
VPC ASSESSMENT
Satisfactory completion
A student is awarded the VPC when they have satisfactorily completed 12 units, including a combination of units that meets the VPC minimum requirement.
A VPC unit is satisfactorily completed once all modules within that unit have been completed. Completion of a module is based on the teacher ’ s decision that the student has demonstrated achievement of the learning goal(s) of that module.
Evidence of achievement of a learning goal must be ascertained through a range of assessment activities and tasks.
Students can include other curriculum in their VPC learning program, such as VCE units, VCE Vocational Major units and VET, to meet the VPC minimum requirement.
The tasks and activities provided to VPC students to demonstrate their achievement of the set of modules as specified in the currriculum design must also comply with the Pillars of Applied Learning, particularly Assessment practice which promote success. The VPC studies are based on an applied learning approach to teaching and assessment. Schools will report a student ’ s result for each module to the VCAA as S (satisfactory) or N (not yet complete). By reporting satisfactory completion, the teacher is certifying that the student has achieved the learning goal(s) for the module according to the rules set out by the VCAA and the school.
For VCE (including VM) and VET units included in the VPC learning program, assessment must be delivered in accordance with the relevant VCE study design.
Satisfactory VPC unit result
Students receive an S (satisfactory) for a module when the teacher determines that the student has:
• produced work that demonstrates achievement of the learning goal(s)
•
submitted work that is clearly their own
