Our Senior Secondary School

PVIS is now a SACE International Centre with the endorsement to deliver the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) over a two year period (Year 11 & Year 12).

SACE International is an internationally recognised pre-university program administered by the SACE Board of South Australia.

Students who successfully complete SACE International are accredited with the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), an award that is recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Students are provided with a university aggregate score (out of 90) and an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). The ATAR is a percentile ranking that is recognised without modification by all tertiary selection agencies in Australia and is used by universities around the world for entry selection purposes.

SACE Certificate

At the successful completion of Year 12 at PVIS, graduates will be awarded a SACE qualification that will allows entry directly into an undergraduate degree or course at a University throughout the world without having to complete foundation years.

What is SACE?

SACE International is administered by the SACE Board of South Australia, an independent, statutory authority of the South Australian Government that is responsible for curriculum development and accreditation, assessment, reporting, and certification for the final years of secondary education using the Australian Curriculum.

International acceptance of SACE International, and the program’s proven track record, have led to an increase in the number of SACE International colleges in Asia.

SACE International graduates are eligible for an Australian Tertiary Entrance Rank (ATAR), an internationally recognised University-entrance requirement have entered prestigious universities around the world, including:

University of Cambridge
University of Oxford
Cornell University
Australian National University
University of Hong Kong
National University of Singapore
