GUIDE TO THE SUBJECT SELECTION PROCESS
Subject Selection ProcessAt Horsham College, students in Yrs 7-11 have a dedicated day in August to meet with Teachers to discuss and submit their subject selections. Students in Yrs 9-11 will also meet with a VCE, VCAL or Careers Adviser to have these forms approved. Classes will be cancelled for all students, however all Yr 7-11 students will be expected to attend an appointment with their family.
How to use this bookThis book is divided into sections for Yr 8, Yr 9-10, VCAL, VCE, and VET. There is introductory information at the start of each section to explain requirements of the different programs and certificates. Students will be asked to fill out a form (included in the final section) that specifies their preferred areas of study for the subsequent year.
University PrerequisitesStudents who wish to go to university should ensure that subjects they select enable them to meet the prerequisites for their desired course. They should undertake a VCE program. If in doubt, please see a careers adviser.
VCE prerequisites Some VCE Yr 12 subjects require students to undertake prerequisite studies at Yr 11. For this reason, students should read through the full subject descriptions. Many Sciences, Maths and Languages are unable to be commenced at Yr 12, yet these subjects can help students to meet prerequisites or receive bonuses.
Further Course and Career InformationThe subject selection day is one of many events and services run by Horsham College to help students identify future pathways both within and beyond school. These include:
• Careers counselling• Work Experience• VTAC workshops• Career Action Plans• Advice on scholarships and special consideration• Careers expo• Guest speaker program• Careers Resource Centre• Melbourne work experience program• Yr 9 Morrisby testing

VCE PROGRAM
What is the VCE?The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is a certificate that recognises the successful completion of your secondary education and provides pathways to further study at university, TAFE and to the world of work. The VCE is designed to be completed over a minimum of two years and includes VCE subjects as well as VET (Vocational Education and Training) subjects.
Units 1-2 are usually completed in Yr 11. Units 3-4 are usually completed in Yr 12. Many students apply to undertake certain sequences in lower year levels.
To graduate, students must pass 16 units. This must include at least three units of a VCE English, including a Unit 3-4 sequence. It must also include at least three other VCE sequences.
VCE VETAs part of VCE, students can choose a Vocational Education and Training program. It contributes to the VCE in the same way as a VCE subject. See the VET section of this book for more information.
Apprenticeships and TraineeshipsSchool-based Apprenticeships can also contribute to the VCE or VCAL. See the relevant section of this book.
Advice for Students entering Yr 11 in 2022• You must select 6 units in each semester (a total of 12 units) including an English in each
semester.• If a student completed Units 1-2 in Yr 10, they can undertake Units 3-4 in Yr 11 provided they
submit an expression of interest at http://tinyurl.com/HRAcceleration2022 and meet the academic, behaviour and attendance requirements.
Advice for Students entering Yr 12 in 2022• Students must select five Unit 3-4 sequences.• Students must select Units 3-4 English.• Units 3-4 are taken as a sequence. You must choose both. • Changes are possible at the start of 2022 but the later the change, the more you will be
disadvantaged.
ATAR Scores and Study CombinationsA student’s ATAR is calculated by VTAC by adding:
• the scaled score from one English study• the next best three scaled scores• 10% of a fifth and sixth score
Please note, the subjects listed in this section of the book are offered at Horsham College if there is adequate demand. Additional subjects may be studied via Distance Education. See Mr Rigas for more information.

A School-based Apprenticeship and Traineeship combines part-time, practical experience in the workplace, and recognised structured workplace training with a Registered Training Organisation and School Studies.

Please visit the Careers Office if you would like more information.
VET - VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING
A VET study is quite different to sitting in a school classroom.
VET Courses are provided by Registered Training Organisations (RTO) which are usually TAFE Institutions and are heavily aligned with ‘hands on’ practical industry experience.
Students undertaking a VET in the VCE/VCAL program can combine their studies with a nationally accredited VET Certificate.
These Certificates may also enable students the opportunity to advance in their chosen vocation into School Based Apprenticeships, Full time Apprenticeships or Traineeships.
VET Programs usually take two years to complete.
Many VET programs complement VCE subjects ie: VCE Design Technology, Systems, Technology, Physical Education, Visual Communications & Design and Dance.
Many certificates contribute a 1 - 4 sequence of VCE units and some can contribute to an ATAR score.
Please note: each VET program may have materials costs. Some areas may also incur extra costs for books, travel, extra certificates, materials, uniforms and equipment etc. These costs are compulsory and Certificates will not be issued unless this payment is made. Costs for 2022 have not yet been finalised.
