About the Bellum Bellum Blended Learning Hub
About this program
Students enrolled at a local secondary school or VSV students in the local area, will be able to access a wider range of VCE subjects and specialist teachers at the Bellum Bellum Blended Learning Hub delivered by the State government. The hub, operating as a campus of Virtual School Victoria, combines face-to-face and virtual lessons and online course materials across specialised subjects. It is located at the Morwell Campus of TAFE Gippsland.
Supporting students in and around inner Gippsland, the initiative will provide access to specialised subjects, including:
- VCE Specialist Maths (Units 1-4)
- VCE Physics (Units 1-4)
- VCE Politics (Units 1-4)
Students will come together for a day of face-to-face learning with peers every three weeks.
The Bellum Bellum Blended Learning Hub provides students with the opportunity to:
- benefit from one-on-one time with a specialised teacher
- be inspired and challenged by other students who share similar interests
- gain confidence in their choices and abilities
- create better career pathways.
