What is VSV? Virtual School Victoria (VSV) is the state's leading virtual school. We provide flexible learning opportunities to Victorian F-12 students who are unable to complete a full range of subjects at a mainstream school.
What is virtual learning? Completing a subject at VSV provides students with the flexibility and support to learn in a way that best meets their individual needs and circumstances.
VSV students have access to a range of structured learning materials available online. Teachers are available to speak to students in person, over the phone or online.
What subjects do we offer? VSV offers one of the largest ranges of subjects of any school in Victoria. For full list of subject offerings and descriptions please see our Subject Information Pages.
We provide students with an opportunity to complete subjects that are either not offered at their school, or not available due to timetabling clashes or other issues.
Technology requirements All students enrolling at VSV require regular and reliable access to a computer/device and the internet. Students will need to login to VSVOnline (the school’s learning management system) to communicate and submit work online regularly. They are expected to participate in multiple areas of the online courses, including online classes, forums and interactive activities.
Some of our subjects require either digital or physical textbooks and/or other resources to be purchased.

Click here for more information about the technological and other requirements for individual subjects. Please read these pages carefully before making subject selections.
Nominated School Supervisor requirements It is expected that schools will support their students undertaking study at VSV by assigning a member of staff to act as a school supervisor. School supervisors have five main responsibilities: Enabling access, distributing resources, administering assessments, liaising with VSV teachers and providing encouragement and support.

Privacy Information for Parents, Guardians and Carers
During the ordinary course of your child’s attendance at Virtual School Victoria (VSV), school staff will collect your child’s personal and health information, when necessary, to educate your child and/or to support your child’s social and emotional wellbeing or health. Such information will also be collected when required to fulfil a legal obligation, including duty of care, anti-discrimination law and occupational health and safety law. If that information is not collected, the school may be unable to provide optimal education or support to your child or fulfil those legal obligations.
For example, health information may be collected through the school’s Social Workers, Psychologist or Student Wellbeing Coordinators. If your child is referred to a specific health service at school, such as a Student Wellbeing Coordinators, or school-engaged psychologist, the required consent will be obtained.
Our school may use online tools, such as apps and other software, to collect and manage information about your child. When our school uses these online tools, we take steps to ensure that your child’s information is secure. These online tools enable our school to efficiently and effectively manage important information about your child and also to communicate with you. If you have any concerns about the use of these online tools, please contact us.
Privacy Information for Parents, Guardians and Carers
School staff will only share your child’s personal or health information with other staff who need to know to enable the school to educate or support your child, or fulfil a legal obligation.
When our students transfer to another Victorian government school, personal and health information about that student will be transferred to that next school. Transferring this information is in the best interests of our students and assists that next school to provide optimal education and support to students.
In some limited circumstances, information may be disclosed outside of the school (and outside of the Department of Education and Training). The school will seek your consent for such disclosures unless the disclosure is allowed or mandated by law.
Our school values the privacy of every person. When collecting and managing personal and health information, all school staff must comply with Victorian privacy law.
