2024 enrolments for VCE Units 3 and 4 English as an Additional Language (EAL), VCE Second Languages and VCE Chinese Language, Culture and Society

Principals/directors, VCE and Vocational Major (VM) coordinators and VASS administrators

2024 enrolment applications are now available on VASS and the study design for these studies:

Home schools are responsible for managing the application process on behalf of students and within the set timeframe.

Applications are due on Friday 13 October.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Home schools can determine a student’s eligibility to enrol in English as an Additional Language (EAL). Information regarding eligibility is available in the VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook. You do not need to apply to the VCAA if eligibility requirements are clearly met.

If schools are unable to make a decision on eligibility or if the application is for a student whose country of origin is Singapore or India, the application must be forwarded to the VCAA with the required supporting documentation by the due date.

VCE Second Languages

VCE and VM coordinators and VASS administrators will be notified via email of the outcome of an application. Please advise students of the outcome immediately, so they are aware of their eligibility status for 2024.

In addition, home schools can view a student’s eligibility on VASS (set year to 2024) once the application has been assessed.

Go to ‘Student Program > VCE Reports > Second Language Applications’. Select ‘Run Second Language Application Report’. If the application has not been approved, an ‘N’ will appear under the ‘Eligible’ column.

Where required, schools can email applications to Student Records and Results at student.records@education.vic.gov.au. Schools should also contact Student Records and Results if they are having trouble meeting a deadline.

Action

Principals/directors, please share this information with the relevant staff and make sure all applications are submitted by the due date.
