English 2010

[Nic K]

My school is the biggest VCE provider in Victoria, so they have enough teachers to teach the three contexts.

And it's always worked well in the class, with students being interested in the context they study.

Plus I don't believe in the collective learning as a fantastic tool anyway. It only helps when revising with friends really in my opinion and I suppose I'm lucky in that most of my friends are doing identity and belonging haha.

I don't think finance is a big deal. I'm not sure but clearly they must manage fine. I mean, they'd still probably buy the same amount of resources for each context as other schools because of its size.

I know that identity and belonging is most popular, followed by whose reality and encountering conflict being about the same in terms of numbers.

which school is this?

im guessing bendigo? or st kevins?

[kenhung123]

What do you mean by biggest VCE provider in terms of a school? School with largest cohort?

[Nic K]

Yes Bendigo Senior Secondary College. And it is the school with the most students undertaking VCE in Victoria.

[kenhung123]

oh really cool..

[xXNovaxX]

Over 1800 students TOTAL
Including 1100 VCEers

[kenhung123]

Thats year 11+12  right? So how many Year 12's?

[xXNovaxX]

It doest say, since the website where u check every schools performance (a thread I amde 2 days ago) shows NUMBER OF PEOPLE DOING A 3/4......this could include year 10's and even year 11's, but year 12's = roughly year 11's, so divide by half LOL, for a general idea

[Nic K]

Bendigo Senior only has year 11 and year 12 students. Our secondary schools go to year 10 and then we all go to that school (other than those going to a private or catholic school).

We have 1800 people doing VCE in years 11 and 12. And I don't know how many staff members there are but there are a lot. Hahaha.

[Nic K]

Yes but I like how it works. It means the school can also run the most subjects out of any school in Victoria and 98% of students get ALL of their first preference subject selection.

[xXNovaxX]

Yeah it's great like that.

I think its unfortunate how many students cannot do what they like in VCE because of "minimum numbers"

[samuch]

my school isnt the greatest but they have only had 1 or 2 girl in the schools history that didnt get to do 1 sub in year 12 cos of numbers... so that proves that you dont need to have a large amount of people in the year level (we only have 180) for everyone to get the preferences they want (this may be also due to the fact that they would run classes for 4 or 5 students)

[kenhung123]

Do they teach latin?

[xXNovaxX]

It's also about schools not OFFERING subjects

Lotrs of schools dont offer geography, politics, hebrew, Latin etc, not NECESSARILY because of numbers, but also because a shortage of teachers in that field who TEACH.

But I guess with English in 2010 we don't need to worry about it not being run *subtly attempts to push back on topic*
