Call for Abstracts
We are excited to invite educators to contribute to the 2026 VCE Conference Series: Teaching for Impact. This is your opportunity to share practical strategies, innovative ideas, and evidence-based approaches that support high-quality VCE teaching and help students achieve their best.
This year’s theme, Teaching for Impact, focuses on empowering educators to create meaningful, high-quality learning experiences that deepen understanding and inspire curiosity in senior secondary science.
The 2026 series will again be delivered in a hybrid format, offering both in-person attendance and virtual-only access. Online participants will be able to view the keynote presentations and one pre-selected session per stream for each subject — providing greater flexibility for regional and remote educators.
We are seeking dynamic presentations across all science disciplines that:
Demonstrate curriculum-aligned teaching strategies
Share practical classroom resources or activities
Highlight innovative or research-informed approaches
Encourage interaction, discussion, and professional growth
Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words
Include session title, description, audience (VCE or senior secondary), and preferred delivery format

Your contribution could help shape the future of VCE science teaching, inspire colleagues, and provide students with engaging, high-impact learning experiences.
