VCE COURSE PROGRAMS

Copperfield College delivers an extensive VCE program that allows students to tailor their course to a broad range of interests and potential pathways. In addition to the comprehensive set of VCE subject offerings listed below, we are also able to provide access to a significant number of VET options through our involvement in the Brimbank VET Cluster.

The majority of VCE students will study six subjects (12 units) in Unit 1 and 2 at Year 11 and five subjects (10 units) in Unit 3 and 4 combinations at Year 12.

At Copperfield College some students will be permitted to enrol in a Unit 3/4 (Year 12) subject in Year 11. This enables you have an extra Unit 3/4 sequence over the two years of your VCE, adding a small bonus (10% of your lowest Study Score) to your ATAR. It should be remembered, however, that most students do better in Year 12 subjects when they are in Year 12 (and a year older) and the majority of your ATAR comes from your performance in English (or EAL/English Language) and your next best three subjects.
