A first look at the VCAA’s new Student Achievement Profile

All stakeholders

The VCAA is introducing the Student Achievement Profile, which will capture a wider range of student achievements.

A Student Achievement Profile Summary will be issued in 2023 for senior secondary students leaving school without a qualification in 2023 and 2024. It will present a holistic summary of a student’s achievements captured during their senior secondary education and complement the existing Statement of Results.

The Student Achievement Profile is an opportunity to recognise a student’s achievements, not just their academic results or completed qualifications. This will mean that all students are celebrated for the learning they have achieved.

In 2023-24, the Student Achievement Profile is available to VCE (including VCE Vocational Major) and Victorian Pathways Certificate students who are exiting senior secondary schooling without a qualification. This ensures that students who may have previously exited senior secondary at the end of Year 11 and who would have received an VCAL Certificate will have a statement that recognises their achievements during the transition period from VCAL to VCE VM during 2023-2024.

There are eligibility requirements to ensure students receiving the Student Achievement Profile are genuinely exiting senior secondary education:

• VCE students must have satisfactorily completed at least eight units, but not have completed their VCE
• VPC students must have satisfactorily completed at least one unit, but not have completed their VPC.

Schools will be able to request a Student Achievement Profile for exiting eligible students later in 2023 via VASS. More information will be sent out via the VCAA’s Notice to Schools.
