9-12 Course Selection Guide - Mount Eliza Secondary College

The College believes that, in the majority of cases where students have performed poorly at a level leading up tothe Senior School, they should attempt to satisfy the requirements of that level in order to adequately develop theskills required to succeed at Year 11 and 12.Students who achieve outstanding results after undertaking a Unit 3/4 sequence at Year 11 may also have theopportunity of undertaking a first year university (Year 13) subject during Year 12. Entry into such programs,where available, would need to be discussed with the Senior School Coordinators.Student DeclarationBefore undertaking any VCE or VCAL studies, all students must sign an agreement to abide by the VCAAregulations. It is therefore important to recognise that by undertaking these studies it is the individual student whois responsible for supplying ‘complete and accurate information’ to the Authority with regard to personal details,and that it is the student who agrees to the rules and instructions relating to the VCE and VCAL assessmentprograms and matters of discipline.Early in 2014 each student will be able to access the College Administrative Handbook on the Intranet. TheHandbook will contain detailed information about the rules the VCAA and the College adhere to in implementingthe VCE and VCAL programs.Attendance“Students need to attend sufficient class time to undertake the course work and associated assessment tasks. Workdone in class time is necessary to allow work to be authenticated.” [VCAA VCE/VCAL AdministrativeHandbook]. Students must attend 95% of all timetabled classes. Where attendance is unsatisfactory the studentmay be awarded ‘N’ (Not Satisfactory) for Unit Outcomes and therefore will not be able to satisfactorily completethe Unit.Parent Information EveningsYear 11 Parent Information Evening: To be advisedYear 12 Parent Information Evening: To be advisedSubject LeviesSome subjects attract a compulsory materials fee which must be paid before enrolment can be confirmed atCourse Confirmation Day of the year prior to the commencement of the study.
