Teaching VCE OES: Units 1-4 Overview & Setting Up for the Year Ahead

This practical and collaborative workshop is designed to support teachers delivering VCE Outdoor and Environmental Studies (Units 1-4). Perfect for newer teachers or those looking for a refresher, the session provides a clear overview of the study design, key content areas, assessment expectations, and strategies for effective program planning across the year.

Participants will explore approaches to teaching core concepts, integrating outdoor experiences, supporting student literacy and exam preparedness, and improving confidence in assessment outcomes.  The session also offers a valuable opportunity to connect with other OES teachers, share ideas and resources, and build confidence heading into the new school year.

Whether you're new to the subject or simply keen to refine your practice, this workshop will help you feel organised, supported, and inspired for the year ahead.
