Special schools and VCAL students will also return to in-class learning on the same day. Victorian Deputy Premier James Merlino announced the changes today on the first day of term four. “Year seven is also a milestone year.
It's their foundation year in secondary schools, so I'm just so pleased that we've had the advice from public health that we can get year sevens back next week, alongside all primary, VCE, VCAL and special schools,” he said. Mr Merlino said year eight, nine and ten students would also return to face-to-face learning from October 26. “As we have always said, the advice has always been a gradual return to face-to-face teaching,” he said.
