VCE VM PDS - Personal Development Skills
21 March 2024

As part of the VCE VM PDS (Personal Development Skills) course, students are required to plan, implement and evaluate an activity to improve health and wellbeing. Zane Steel and Thomas Sharpe developed a Year 7 lunchtime basketball competition to run over two weeks. They have organised everything from promotion, tournament schedule’s, refereeing, booking venues, getting feedback from students, and even developed a website to share the results. 

Both Zane and Tom have demonstrated excellent planning, initiative and flexibility to get their project up and running. The aim was to improve physical health and wellbeing, but after the first session they realised that their project also improved social and mental health for their participants.

The VCE VM curriculum is designed to give students hands on opportunities to learn important life skills. There are many more projects underway and in the pipeline, so stay tuned for further updates from our Year 11 VCE VM students.
