Our Preston Campus will become co-educational in 2025, paving the way for Parade College to accept full-time female enrolments in Years 11 and 12 within our expanded VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) Program. This means that for the 2025 academic year we will accept female enrolments for entry into Year 11 of the VCE VM program. Our VCE VM programs, including trade and Sport Academy.
Parade College students, both male and female, who enrol in the VCE VM into one of these programs, and upon successful completion, will gain direct entry access into a number of undergraduate courses at La Trobe University within their Health Sciences, Humanities and Business Schools. Students will study a tailored program including specific VET certificates, to ensure this direct pathway into La Trobe.
Importantly, students in these programs will not complete VCE Examinations, and do not need an ATAR to enter La Trobe University.
Students can apply to one of the following pathways for 2025:
- Traditional VCE Vocational Major program
- Sport Academy
