2023 VCE Performance and Languages oral examination and Extended Investigation oral presentation scheduling
Principals/directors, VCE coordinators and VCE performing arts studies, VCE Languages and VCE Extended Investigation teachers
Schools must advise the VCAA of significant school-based events and religious observation events that require student attendance for all or a significant part of a day within the assessment period (2–29 October).
Significant school-based events may include final year assemblies or graduation ceremonies. Schools can nominate one school-based event day only as unavailable for timetabling. Students may be timetabled either side of the nominated day.
Religious observation events include days where students, due to religious beliefs and practices, are not able to attend an examination. Schools can nominate more than one day in this category, if applicable.
This information is used to timetable Unit 3−4 Performance examinations, Languages oral examinations and Extended Investigation oral presentations.
If schools do not complete the survey, the VCAA will assume that student availability during the assessment period is unrestricted. Once Student Examination Advice Slips are available to students on 31 July, student rescheduling because of significant school-based functions will not be possible.
Complete this survey to provide details.
