Our four values – growth, empathy, respect and collaboration – are central to our community.
Supporting parents and carers at VSV
Virtual School Victoria is committed to working in partnership with the parents and carers in our school community.
Our Family and Community Partnerships team provides a range of programs to help you support your child on their educational journey with us.
This includes:
Learning Advisors
A Learning Advisor is essentially your child’s class or homeroom teacher. If you have any concerns about your child’s learning, wellbeing or engagement, your Learning Advisor is the first person you should talk to. Parents/carers can speak to Learning Advisors about a range of issues, including their child’s educational program and provide input into aspects of the school’s operations that impact on their role as supervisors.
Wellbeing and Inclusion Team
Our wellbeing and inclusion team is here to enhance students’ wellbeing and support parents to secure strong local health supports. The team also builds a rich understanding of strategies for students with learning difficulties or disabilities of any kind.
The team includes psychologists, occupational therapists, student wellbeing coordinators and social workers who have extensive experience working with young people.
The team is available for either face-to-face meetings at Virtual School Victoria or conversations over the phone. If you’d like to chat with someone from the team, you can either ask your Learning Advisor to put you in touch with them or email [email protected] or call 03 8480 0000
VSV Parent and Carer Community
VSV’s parent and carer community, called Virtual Parents Victoria, aims to support and connect VSV families with their school community to improve educational outcomes for students. Parents/carers meet twice a term with meetings occurring both online, onsite and within local communities.
If you are interested in hearing more about VSV Parent Voice or keen to be involved, please contact Jordan Anderson, Leading Teacher Family and Community Partnerships at [email protected] or 03 8480 0000.
Parent Portal
VSV parents can access student information, parent orientation information and parent engagement resources via their VSV Connect dashboard.
Student Coordinators
Each year level Student Coordinator works closely with Learning Advisors, the Wellbeing team and other key staff at the school to ensure students’ educational goals are met. They also maintain ongoing communication with parents/carers, students, subject teachers and Learning Advisors to ensure the successful implementation and completion of Personalised Learning Programs.
Please speak to the relevant Student Coordinator for prospective enrolment questions, subject selection advice and all general questions and/or feedback. You can contact the Student Coordinator by calling reception on (03) 8480 0000.
Connect Days and Better Together Days
Parents/carers are invited to attend the Connect Days (F – 9) or Better Together Days (10 – 12) that occur each term at VSV. These initiatives aim to build relationships and rapport between parents/carers, supervisors, students and teachers.
Engagement Team
Our Engagement Team is here to promote student engagement and participation.
The team manage our Student Management Action Plan, a process which enables teachers to identify students whose engagement or learning is at risk and ensure appropriate strategies are implemented to re-engage the student.
