What Now? Reflections and directions for the VCE Englishes
In 2026, VATE will present a series of skills-focused panel discussions featuring experienced English teachers who are enacting each of the Units 3-4 VCE Englishes Study Designs. These sessions will explore effective and engaging ways to develop the key skills and knowledge students need for success across all VCE English pathways.
Moving The Furniture: VATE x ACMI Middle Years Conference
The 2026 VATE x ACMI Middle Years Conference: Moving The Furniture explores how physical, instructional and intellectual spaces shape English learning in the middle years. It celebrates negotiating the curriculum to make room for student voice, advocates for teacher autonomy and centres the pedagogical artistry of English subject specialists.
A selection of workshops and the opening keynote will be live streamed to make it easier to attend this event.
