Philosophy Program
Philosophy - VCE Philosophy
If you are reading this, it is probably because you are aware that Philosophy is available as a VCE subject: Year 11 (Units 1 and 2) and Year 12 (Units 3 and 4). The Philosophy Program at La Trobe University is pleased to advise that it offers substantial support to schools and other VCE providers adding this subject to their VCE list.
In the past VCE Philosophy Support Program has consisted of:
- a four day Intensive Workshop in December each year
- a phone-in or e-mail service for advice on the run
The Philosophy Program at La Trobe University is one of the larger philosophy departments in Australasia, and it has a strong reputation for research and for the quality of its teaching.
The program is able to provide support in both the academic content of the VCE units and in pedagogic matters. We think that this is of particular importance, not just because as a teacher you will rightly be concerned for both aspects of your practice, but because the two are so closely intertwined in classroom philosophy.
VCE Philosophy Support Program 2009
It’s back by popular demand! The La Trobe University Philosophy Program is excited to announce that it will once again be offering VCE Teachers an opportunity to attend the VCE Philosophy Support Program this December.
The VCE Philosophy Support Program is scheduled to take place at La Trobe University, Bundoora Campus, from Tuesday 8th to Friday 11th December.
The four day intensive program will be split into two streams: Year 11 and Year 12 units. There will be two half day courses offered to both streams, dedicated to Reason and Argument and Writing Essays in Philosophy.
The fees for the Four Day Intensive Program for 2009 will be $450 per person.
Fees for the Half Day Short Courses will be $100 per session.
