Assessment in the VCE at Acknowledge Education is designed to support student learning, monitor achievement of curriculum outcomes, and prepare students for successful completion of the VCE. Assessment methods are varied and aligned with both the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) requirements, ensuring validity, fairness, and reliability. Students are assessed through a combination of formative and summative tasks, including class-based activities, practical demonstrations, projects, performance tasks, essays, research assignments, oral presentations, and examinations.

These methods provide multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and understanding across different contexts and modalities. Internal assessments are based on clearly defined criteria and standards linked to the outcomes of each unit. Feedback is provided in a timely manner to support student improvement and growth. External assessments, including School Assessed Coursework (SACs) and School Assessed Tasks (SATs), follow VCAA guidelines and contribute to the study score for each subject.

Assessment practices at our school emphasise academic integrity, student reflection, and continuous improvement, ensuring that each learner is supported to achieve their personal best in their VCE studies.

Credit may be granted to eligible students in line with VCAA requirements as outlined here: https://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/assessment/results/applying-credit-and-recognition/credit-towards-vce

Upon successful completion of the VCE, you may gain entry to VET institutions/Universities or other higher education institutions. Acknowledge Education offer you exciting pathway courses in the areas of Health and Community, Civil Construction Design and Construction Project Management.
