FOR YEAR 11 AND 12 VCE AUSLAN

Auslan Study Design
The Victorian Curriculum has an Auslan Study Design which helps VCE Auslan teachers prepare their Auslan curriculum for Years 11 and 12.
(You can also contact them and ask them for an Auslan Study Design Grammar Video, it is an excellent teaching tool as it shows you examples of Auslan grammar as they are being signed out and can be used to show and explain to VCE Auslan students).

Past Examinations
Past Examinations are invaluable teaching tools as they include past exam Auslan videos and exam questions. This will help VCE Auslan teachers to get an idea of what to expect in upcoming VCE Auslan examinations. The Auslan teacher can use this to show and explain to VCE Auslan students and help them to practice and gain confidence for their upcoming Auslan VCE examinations.

Students starting Year 11 normally proceed to complete the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) but other education options are available.

The VELS is a curriculum framework providing a set of areas for teachers to teach. 

The VELS has six levels, with a general expectation that each level be completed in two years of schooling, with the exception of Level 1, completed in the first year of Primary schooling, known as "Prep", as follows:
