VCE

At Fountain Gate Secondary College, we are proud of the continued growth and success of our students. Over the past few years, we have seen steady improvement in academic achievement and pathway outcomes. In 2023, the college’s overall VCE median study score rose to 27, and this increased again in 2024 to 28 and in 2025 for the first time in the history of the College we achieved a median study score of 30. We are especially pleased to share that both English and Maths saw a 3-point improvement in their median study scores - a fantastic reflection of our students’ hard work and our staff’s commitment to learning. These results are more than just numbers. In 2024, 98% of our senior students received first-round offers for their preferred pathways, whether that be university, TAFE, apprenticeships or employment. In recognition of this progress, The Age newspaper listed Fountain Gate Secondary College as one of the top 25 public schools in Victoria for improved VCE performance in 2025 - with our school ranked 6th for overall improvement.

As students move into the Senior School Years 11 and 12, they will have access to a wide range of subjects, a strong academic curriculum, and meaningful workplace experiences that prepare them for life beyond school. Whether aiming for further study, vocational training or entering the workforce, our programs are designed to support every student’s journey. Our school vision - to provide high-quality programs with high expectations that lead to successful pathways and preparation for life after school - guides everything we do.

The Senior School at Fountain Gate Secondary College includes students from Years 11 and 12 and delivers a broad and comprehensive range of subjects.   This includes the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses.
