VCE or VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM)

Students heading into Year 11 and 12 have the choice of two engaging programs. The traditional VCE academic program or the VCE Vocational Major. VCE VM is a two year vocational, applied program allowing students to gain practical skills and knowledge for work and further education.

Both VCE and VCE VM allow students to include Vocational Education and Training (VET) subjects to their programs, the VCE VM program allows these VET subjects to link into work placements too. Thus allowing students more opportunities to open up pathways to higher level TAFE courses, apprenticeships, traineeships and the workforce.

Within our VCE program, students can select more than 35 different VCE studies and 8 onsite VCE VET programs (there are more than 30 VET subjects that can be accessed via offsite programs). By completing the VCE, students are able to specialise in areas of interest, meet the requirements for future tertiary studies and develop skills for various careers.

Kolbe Catholic College is proud to be able to offer a broad, well balanced and comprehensive curriculum that caters to the needs of all students. Kolbe Catholic College students not only develop their knowledge in desired areas, but also work and life skills to be successful upon graduation. Our students have more choices, as both of these programs allow students to focus on either academic preparation for university and further studies or equip students for the world of work through hands-on experience in various industries via the VCE VM program.
