- Educators preparing for a possible return to remote learning for term three
- "Not all students were able to thrive in a flexible remote learning environment last term," says Ms Piazza
The Victorian government says remote learning is a possibility if it is deemed the safest option for students. For now, the school holidays are being extended to give teachers time to plan for the next phase of education during the coronavirus pandemic.
Victorian Principal Loretta Piazza was one of the first educators to deal with a coronavirus scare at her school, Meadowglen primary. She says not all students were able to thrive in a flexible remote learning environment last term, and if it happens again, she'll tailor the system to suit her school's needs.
