I would recommend the VCE Summer School (VCESS), which is actually run by Melbourne University Student Volunteers. Even though they may lack in teaching expertise, they just went through the system and are very familiar with the structure of the course and can sympathise with those doing a tough Year 12. Not only that, there are also various activities and you will meet many new people who share your interests. There's no doubt that this helped me get what I set out to achieve this year, and I remained in contact with my tutors and many other wonderful and amazing people.

There are other programs such as the TSFX lectures which are also running in Melbourne Uni over the summer, and although they may be more thorough, lectures are much harder to retain information and it is considerably more expensive.
