Today is the International Day for Tolerance; a day to raise
awareness, promote tolerance, and to celebrate the many
cultures that coexist in our community. To recognise the day,
encourage your students to research various cultures and
present their findings to the class.
It’s the day that Year 12 teachers and students across the
state have been waiting for: VCE exams finish. The hard
work is done, tests are over and its time to celebrate as
students say goodbye to high school and embrace the next
stage of life.
Consultation closes for the draft senior secondary Heritage
Language Courses. The VCAA has worked in collaboration
with New South Wales and South Australia to develop
the draft courses, which include Chinese (Mandarin),
Indonesian, Japanese and Korean. To view the draft courses
