About VCE Subject Selection
All Clonard College students undertake a full load of VCE: five sequences of Units 1 – 4. *
Year 11
Students in Year 11 take 4 subjects + English + RE.
Year 12
Students typically undertake 4 subjects + English + RE. Exceptions to this are students who have accelerated into Unit 3 & 4 studies in Year 10 or 11.
Students are expected to continue into Year 12, the 4 elected subjects and English (students who have done Literature in Units 1 & 2 may choose to take Literature instead of English). Students are discouraged from entering a Unit 3 & 4 study without the relevant Unit 1 & 2 study.
VCE Subjects
*There are some exceptions to the full load requirement. Students who have extensive physical and / or mental health issues can apply for a reduced load. This requires documented support from a professional third-party and must be ongoing.
