Virtual School Victoria (formerly Distance Education Centre Victoria) is an F–12 school in Thornbury, Victoria. With an annual enrolment in excess of 4500 students from Foundation to Year 12, VSV is the largest state government school in Victoria. It shares a building with the Victorian School of Languages.[2]

The school is split into two sub-schools:

  • F–10 sub-school, which handles students from Foundation to Year 10
  • Year 11/12 sub-school, which handles students from Years 11 and 12 (including VCE and VCAL)

Work

[edit]

The school uses blended learning, a mix of virtual and face-to-face teaching and learning. Students can visit the school during normal school hours to meet with teachers, attend seminars and study in the library or purpose-built study areas. School-assessed coursework and other testing material is typically mailed out to students whilst end of year exams and General Achievement Test are held on-site under staff supervision.
