Although VCE assessments for language and performance subjects start today, the VCE exam period begins on Wednesday 26 October with the English and English as an Additional Language (EAL) exams taking place. Term 4 is also an exciting period for children preparing to enter school for the first time, Year 6 students getting ready for the move from primary to secondary school and Year 12s preparing for life beyond school.
