As the 2025 school year rapidly approaches, it is crucial for VCE students and parents in Melbourne to be aware of the key dates for the year.

Navigating the VCE year can be demanding, but preparation is the key to success. Staying informed about essential dates provides a solid foundation for your journey. By understanding these milestones, you can start preparing in advance, ensuring you stay ahead and avoid last-minute surprises. This proactive strategy not only simplifies your VCE experience but also boosts your ability to manage your studies with greater confidence and efficiency.

Term Dates

Term Start Date Finish Date
Term 1 28 January
(students start 29 January in government schools)
4 April
Term 2 22 April 4 July
Term 3 21 July 19 September
Term 4 6 October 19 December

VCE students typically conclude their academic year earlier than the official end of Term 4, as their exams are scheduled before this time. However, the final class date for Year 12 students varies between schools. It is essential for students to confirm with their respective schools to determine when their classes will officially end. Staying informed about these details ensures a seamless transition as you approach the conclusion of your VCE journey.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
