year 12 is challenging enough as it is. with 5 lockdowns over the course of our vce years, 3 of which occurring in year 12, it is undeniable that the class of 2021 has faced abnormal circumstances that are detrimental to our schooling

I have a son who is studying Year 12. I’m thankful that he is attending an amazing school with amazing teachers that are doing an amazing job during these tough times but it definitely places extra stress and increases anxiety for all the kids studying VCE due to the uncertainty of what their educational future looks like.

My child is in year 12 and struggling to do another 4 hours in front of a computer after being in front of it ALL DAY on zoom.
Theres no time for exercise which we all know is the best thing for mental health.
The work load and expectations should definitely be reduced this year.

I’m signing as a teacher of VCE Legal Studies - over the course of 18 months my students have missed so much one on one and there are many loopholes in their knowledge due to repeated Lockdowns.

I’m signing because our daughter is doing Year 12.
Last year her studies were disrupted in Year 11 and it is not fair on her and her cohorts that they are being disadvantaged by interrupted studies.

I'm a current year 12 student, and 5 lockdowns over the course of my VCE has put a toll not only on my performance towards school, but also my mental health which has negatively affect my ability to retain information throughout my VCE.

I'm signing because my daughter is currently in year 12 and really struggling to keep up with her schoolwork during these lockdowns. She looked up the atar required for her course at the end of last year and felt it was achievable...now that international students will be returning, the atar is now out of her reach...it really isn't fair and something should be done about this

I’m signing because I believe VCAA has neglected the current year 12s and we deserve a change to help us

The snap lockdowns have consistently interrupted our study throughout the entire year.

I have a child doing year 12 this year. Such a huge challenge with all of the lockdowns!!!

Kathryn Bates (Geelong, 2021-07-22)

#1457

For the reasons listed above and because we also were not able to get a proper foundation for VCE due to the immense amount of lockdowns we experienced last year and this has resulted in us having much less skills/knowledge relevant to unit 3/4 subjects especially when compared to year 12s from 2020 who were at least granted the opportunity for a proper foundation for their VCE studies.

Nailah Zaman (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

Im signing this petition in hopes of the study design being adjusted

Helena Madadi (Melbourne, 2021-07-22)

The sheer amount of lockdowns? and their disruptive nature? We're entitled to more consideration.

Gabrielle Medina (Melbourne, 2021-07-22)

#1463

I think it is important for the design to be altered because we are the only year to be in lock down every single term for our entire VCE journey. Not only have our memories been tarnished by online learning, but also our mental health. How are we supposed to cope with stress when we don't even have access to gym's? All of us are stuck in an endless loop of the unknown and the least they can do is take off some of the pressure by altering the design.

Isabella Brown (Melbourne, 2021-07-22)

I'm signing because my child has felt the impacts of remote learning to her VCE education over 2020 and 2021.

Janet H (Victoria, 2021-07-22)

#1476

I’m signing this because I believe that it is insane that the study design hasn’t already been changed and now with COVID it should have at the start of this year. The sheer amount of work is crushing for people’s mental states and that’s causing serious damage.

Jack Timms (Foster, 2021-07-22)

I'm concerned about the effects of the lockdown on my yr 12 granddaughter's education and mental health.

JUDITH MACPHERSON (CROYDON, 2021-07-22)

Last years year 12’s got special consideration and only their 3/4 had been disrupted by covid. We’ve had our 1/2 and 3/4 disrupted countless times by restrictions and lockdowns, we should receive the same if not more consideration than those affected last year.

Caitlin Cameron (Melbourne, 2021-07-22)

#1486

I’m signing this because of the inconsistency with lockdowns that have left year 12 students disorientated.

Archer Drummond (Geelong, 2021-07-22)

#1494

I’m signing because our children have gone through enough over the last year and it takes a toll on there mental health and well-being. This should be taken into consideration.Some children may thrive through this time but I’m sure most will not.

Aysel Baradan (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

Year 11 vcd was bad, we missed a lot of gaps of knowledge yet again struggling this year to make up for it will not enough of time and lockdowns

Assia Haouchar (Melbourne, 2021-07-22)

#1506

I’m signing this because as a year 12 student who is about to sit the exams I feel it’s unfair that we had no time to build skills for year 12 last year due to the lockdowns and this year we’ve had even more lockdowns that has put a heavy toll on year 12 students

Mirza Demirkale (Horsham , 2021-07-22)

My daughter completed year 12 in2020 and I have the other daughter completing year 12 this year , online learning has impacted their over all learning and outcome with their SAC and Exams .

Amy Robinson (Melbourne, 2021-07-22)

#1545

I have seen my daughter go through most of year 11 in lockdown and now 3 lockdowns (so far) in year 12. I cannot imagine how hard it is for these student, basically trying to do years 12 by themselves, without the support they need to finish the year where they were hoping too and get the scores they need to get into the uni the want. I see my daughter stress about all of these things and feel helpless as a parent.

Rachel Clark (Brookfield , 2021-07-22)

both years of vce have been extremely stressful and difficult during covid lockdowns, and its impacted my learning a heap

Shaelyn Richie (Melton, 2021-07-22)

#1553

I’m incredibly frustrated and stressed due to the 5th lockdown now underway and I feel that there has been less support measures put in place and I find that unfair, last year the study design was cut and this year we are expected to continue learning it even though we have now had more lockdowns that last year with 3 total this year, I’m just incredibly stressed and frustrated that nothing is being done

Josh Pitts (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

#1558

I'm signing because the pandemic's impact on both of my vce years, as well as all of my fellow year 12 students, has disadvantaged our ability to meet our academic goals. Whenever we go into lockdown, it always disrupted our study routine and students have low morale, sac schedules get pushed back to be completed all as soon as we return to school to be done right after each other, which is stressful and demotivating.

Jinane Abo-Shaban (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

I care for my students and colleagues teaching Year 12.

Rosalie Fourniotis (Brunswick, 2021-07-22)

#1561

I'm signing because the class of 2021 have been repeatedly required to shift between online and at school learning this year, preventing us from having any stability and structure to our final year of schooling. Further, we were left fundamentally unprepared for year twelve by the extent of lockdowns last year and the impact that had on our year eleven studies. The combination the past two years has caused major limitations to our learning which should be taken into consideration by the VCAA.

Lily O'Brien (Horsham, 2021-07-22)

#1570

I see first hand the difficulties for the class of 2021 with constant (learning) disruptions and snap lockdowns due to COVID-19 (in both 2020 and 2021). The VCAA and DET need to assist these young people who I believe have been affected greatly in both 2020 and 2021,

Sonia Fabris (Melbourne, 2021-07-22)

#1571

I am signing this because I believe year 12s should have an adjustment to the study design due to the COVID lockdowns

Alex Shaw (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

#1573

I’m signing this petition in regards of the pandemic coronavirus outbreak and year 12 stress on us students and causing us to have a bad mental health and well-being and that the government should alter this year 12 examinations.

Shaza Alhawli (Victoria, 2021-07-22)

#1577

I'm signing beacuse the education board is a joke and has done nothing to benefit year 12 students

Lachlan Marr (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

#1578

I am a student completing year 12 in 2021 and am struggling a bit with the work load and areas of study due to Covid

Zacarias Sinopoli (Victoria , 2021-07-22)

#1585

Im signing because we’ve been in lock downs out entire vce 11 and 12, we deserve a study design change

Kasey Hoskins (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

#1586

I’m signing because our vce was affected just like the class of 2020’s last year as well as us going in and out of lockdowns for this year! it’s stressful

Ema Hodgson (Foster, 2021-07-22)

#1587

I am currently a year 12 student and lockdown makes it hard to learn content.

Jess Walker (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

#1595

I'm signing because it's quite stressful enough to be in lockdown aswell as final year of school. Allow year 12 students to study face to face and get the support they need to build the foundation for uni/tafe/work force. 2 years of lockdown breaks people's mental state.

Rem Beyit (Melbourne , 2021-07-22)

#1596

I’m a year 12 student and VCAA need to bloody listen
