Curriculum confirmation and 2027 applicability

The VCE Year 11 Religion and Society pack follows the versions listed on its Official curriculum sources page. The course is expected to continue in 2027, but explicit 2027 confirmation is not recorded. Your school determines its assessment program and selected texts or topics. These are original study resources, not official board publications.

The official course page checked 10 November 2026 links the study design accredited from 1 January 2023 with no stated end date. This supports likely applicability, not separate confirmation for 2027; check subsequent official amendments.
