Do you need to comply?

Yes, if your school is a VCE and/or VCAL provider

Conditions of compliance

Principals of schools and other VCE and VCAL providers are the formal authority for many important procedural and managerial requirements in the VCE and VCAL.

Schools indicate to the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) each year, through student enrolments, the detailed programs the school will offer. In so doing, the principal undertakes to ensure that students are provided with access to adequate facilities and resources to complete any VCE or VCAL study offered by the school.

If you have to comply, what do you have to do?

It is the role of the principal to ensure the following:

Communications from the VCAA reach school staff
Students receive VCE and VCAL advice
Accuracy of VCE and VCAL enrolment details, address and consent permissions
Security, accuracy and punctuality of VASS data
Security of Student Numbers and PINs
Maintenance of school records
Integrity of VCE and VCAL school assessments
Integrity of examination centres and supervisors
Procedures exist for conducting student appeals
Administration of Special Provision

The signature of the principal, or a delegate for the principal, is required on some documents to certify that the information therein is accurate and complete.

What are the consequences if you don't comply?

The programs, assessment and results of VCE and/or VCAL students may be affected. Your school could also lose its registration as a provider of the VCE and/or VCAL.
