An extra year of VCE

[leadbeaters]

Are there any implications in doing an extra year of VCE?
I'm young for my age anyway so I wanted to repeat next year - do a few more subjects to maximise my ENTER for the course I want.

Also are there any place I can repeat VCE in, which are unlike schools.

IE - No restrictions, lateness, house singing, sport etc

I've looked at the Centre of Adult Education - does anyone have info about that. Thanks

Distance Education would be your best choice. You can do all your subjects at home, get course materials mailed to you, do everything at your own pace, have a teacher on the other end who can answer your questions when you need it. the downfall is it is going to be a little more expensive, and you need self-motivation. You'll also miss out on classroom discussions, hence you have to work things out for yourself. It's best done in combination with a tutor, but again that'll be expensive.

If you want to attend CAE or any other TAFE for your VCE, you will still be required to attend classes.

I know of someone from my school who did four 3/4's last year for year 12 and decided to skip english and take it this year at TAFE. I don't know what implications that has apart from wasting time... But in your case it depends. You could be happy wit the scores you get this year and might find that there isn't any need to repeat year 12.

I actually want to attend classes - just none of the extra stuff

In terms of scores, no there is no effect from overextending your VCE.

Chisholme TAFEs offer VCE subjects. You attend one 4 hours session a week per subject and i think it's pretty cheap or free.  

EDIT: they're not very tight and there is definitely no house singing it's just like taking a TAFE course

Alternatively, you can finish your VCE and get an ENTER score and then do something else at TAFE related to what you want to do at university. You could also do one extra VCE subject to boost your score a little while doing some other course too. Think about it: are you really going to be able to stand another year of VCE? Personally, I'd prefer to study something that would give me an insight to what I'm actually interested in.

CAE is really good cause of the mature study environment. They don't hassle you if you're late for class, or if you don't do your homework etc. and there's no house singing
All the teachers there are awesome, except for the year 12 chem teacher (she also teaches a year 12 bio class) who is exceptionally crap. Don't even consider doing year 12 chem there.
Only problem is that they give preference to adults, so if you're going to choose a popular subject you may not get in...
