What should be offered as a VCE subject but isnt?

[brendan]

Let's start with what is offered at university and work backwards.
Take a look at the handbook for the commerce courses offered at Melb: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/HB/facs/ECO.html

There is a VCE equivalent for each of those areas of study except for Finance.

I think Finance should be offered as a VCE subject.

Pure mathematics barely receives any coverage in highschool, but it would be a great subject

[jsimmo]

There should be a branch underneath Physical Education that allows the opportunity to study specific sports such as soccer, tennis, basketball, AFL, etc

.. although I doubt it would really work.

Although this will not happen, it might be good if the following were offered as VCE 3/4 subjects:

Perhaps General Senior Science, which enables students to learn all three sciences in one subject (and perhaps a bit of psychology, or at least the physiology of the brain and nervous system) but in less depth than the individual subjects of science - obviously it would involve vastly different course content from the biology, chem and physics subject (although It'd be a pain to find someone who'd teach it).

and Foundation English available at units 3/4
students who are not strong in English should be able to attain a study score in this subject and thus should be able to get an ENTER score.

That is actually a really good idea.

Maybe something like creative crafts, or certain spatial abilities such as knitting. Lol, I wouldn't know how the SAC's would be administered though. =)

They already do- it's a branch of Religion and Society (Unit 2: Ethics)

Yeh i wished that as well, i love astronomy, i did a subject called space science in yr 10.
I think astronomy should play a bigger part in physics.

Yeh. And my school forces all year 12s to take it.

And it sucks.

Yes please!
I fail vce music theory.

I wish there was anthropology or ancient history.
And a maths between Methods and Further.

I wish Business Management had some sort of practical assessment
With the focus of the 3/4 course being on small businesses and managing your own small business (which would be like 50% of the SS).

Mmm = me in heaven (A)

[brendan]

those business management courses should really be taught by people with actual experience

Self Development would be nice,
Also parenting, personal finanaces, health and energy, emotional mastery.
