Pick your state to see curriculum connections and recognition questions to check. The Victoria section cites current VCAA frameworks and separates confirmed framework references from Charge Academy delivery evidence that still needs school review. Curriculum relevance alone does not award VCE credit or ATAR recognition.
How to read the map
Each state section connects the five Charge Academy learning areas to relevant framework strands. These are curriculum references, not proof that a school outcome has been met or that credit has been awarded. Formal recognition follows the rules of the relevant authority and the school or RTO delivery plan.
Per-state mapping
Each section below is anchored on the state abbreviation so you can deep-link straight to the framework you need: #vce, #qce, #sace, #wace, #tce.
VCAA curriculum mapping
These are indicative, topic-level connections to VCAA material. The referenced framework strands and their published requirements are confirmed; whether Charge Academy sessions and student work match particular outcomes still needs review by the delivering school.
Term 1 · Weeks 1–4
Confirmed VCAA framework reference
VCE Systems Engineering Unit 1 Area of Study 1: Electrotechnological systems design and society — the unit introduces electrotechnology and sustainable design.
Still to verify with the school
Compare the delivered Foundations session plan and student evidence with the Unit 1 outcome, key knowledge and key skills with the school teacher.
Term 1 · Weeks 5–8
Confirmed VCAA framework reference
VCE Systems Engineering Unit 1 Area of Study 1: Electrotechnological systems design and society, and Unit 3 Area of Study 2: Clean energy technologies.
Still to verify with the school
Confirm which EV system and powertrain concepts are taught, what evidence students produce, and whether that evidence meets the selected unit outcomes.
Term 2 · Weeks 1–6
Confirmed VCAA framework reference
VCE Systems Engineering Unit 1 Area of Study 2: Creating electrotechnological systems design, and Unit 4 Area of Study 1: Producing and evaluating integrated and controlled systems.
Still to verify with the school
Map the actual build brief, design decisions and completed artefacts to the relevant Unit 1 and Unit 4 outcome requirements with the school teacher.
Term 2 · Weeks 7–9
Confirmed VCAA framework reference
VCE Systems Engineering Unit 4 Area of Study 1: Producing and evaluating integrated and controlled systems, including production, testing, diagnosis and evaluation.
Still to verify with the school
Check the test plan, recorded results, evaluation and individual student evidence against the Unit 4 outcome and the school assessment plan.
Term 2–3 · Weeks 10–14 + race circuit
Confirmed VCAA framework reference
VCE VM Work Related Skills Unit 3 Area of Study 3: Communication and collaboration, which includes applying learning in a team project and reflecting on productive teamwork.
Still to verify with the school
Confirm whether competition roles and activities provide assessable evidence for the chosen Work Related Skills outcome, and how individual participation is recorded.
This mapping does not confirm or award VCE or VCE VM credit, a VCE study score, or any ATAR contribution for Charge Academy. VCAA credit recognition depends on the exact pathway and completed units and nominal hours. VCE VM studies do not provide study scores toward an ATAR; any separate VET recognition and ATAR treatment must be checked against current VCAA rules and the school/RTO delivery plan.
