Acceleration into a Unit 1 and 2 VCE Subject in 2026

It was encouraging to receive many applications for acceleration into a Unit 1 and 2 VCE subject for Year 10 2026 students. The Acceleration Panel has been convened to review all applications. The outcome of these applications will be emailed to families early in Term 4.

The letter will offer one of three different outcomes, which are explained below:

• Recommended: the student has met the criteria and will be enrolled in the accelerated subject for which they applied.
• Pending: the student has met some of the criteria; however, further evidence is required. A decision will be made in Term 4 after the Semester Two examinations.
• Not recommended: the student does not meet the selection criteria.
