VATE’s annual short story writing competition ‘A Story in Miniature’ is now open!

We are seeking short, sharp and polished tiny tales of up to 500 words that celebrate the everyday, the unique, the interesting and imaginative.

The second seminar in our Dialogue Series will take place on Monday, September 1.

This online seminar is focused on digital media literacies and our panel of guests will respond to the inquiry question: How can English teachers prepare young people for an increasingly complex online world?

VATE membership renewal for 2025 is now open.

We'd like to thank the strong and vibrant VATE community that continued to support our English teaching colleagues across the state in 2024. You can now renew your VATE Membership for 2025 through the 'My account' area of your account or if you aren't a current VATE member, you can join here!

VATE is an independent, not for profit organisation that aims to foster the highest quality teaching of English throughout Victoria. Since 1960 VATE has supported its members as they have navigated the various changes to the teaching and learning of English over the last sixty years.
