We hope you have had an amazing start to Term 3! We are the Program Directors at VCE Summer Tutoring Incorporated, a youth-led charity that aims to combat educational disadvantage in Victoria. We do this by providing an inclusive and high-quality education that equips students with the skills and knowledge to succeed in their final years of high school. We want to invite your students to study with us over the 2027 summer break. This email is a little snapshot into what we offer.

What is our program?

The VCE Summer Tutoring program will run from 11 - 22 January 2027 at the University of Melbourne’s Melbourne Connect precinct. VCEST students will participate in tutorials for each of their VCE subjects, skills development workshops and extracurricular activities, as well as gain insight into tertiary options after Year 12. We offer over 60 VCE subjects in both group and one-to-one settings, where students can receive personalised, tailored support to prepare them for their VCE journey.

To ensure the program is accessible to students who have experienced disadvantage, bursaries and travel subsidies can be made available to address the impact of financial circumstances.

Next Steps


We have attached an information brochure and promotional materials that you can distribute to your students and their caregivers.
