Virtual VCE Revision

Free online revision sessions for VCE students run by Monash pre-service teachers.

Monash Virtual School

In partnership with the Invergowrie Foundation.

The Monash Virtual School offers a series of free, interactive revision classes, delivered over Zoom, focused on supporting girls studying VCE Units 3 and 4; Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Psychology and Software Development, as well as Further, Methods and Specialist Mathematics.

For each subject there will be six sessions over the course of a year, each focusing on a different area of the curriculum. Students are able to register for any or all sessions for subjects they are currently undertaking.

The Monash Virtual School will be led by online learning expert Associate Professor Michael Phillips and delivered by Monash pre-service teachers under the guidance of experienced and qualified educators.

Our focus is supporting young women’s learning and engagement in STEM by providing them with opportunities to engage with outstanding female educators who develop and deliver STEM programs in the Monash Virtual School; however, students of all genders are welcome to participate.

The Invergowrie Foundation

The Invergowrie Foundation, established in 1992, is a public charitable trust made possible through the McPherson Family gift of 1933.

With a mission to advance the education of girls and women in Victoria and a current focus on STEM education, The Invergowrie Foundation is delighted to be partnering with Monash University in this venture to deliver high quality educational opportunities for female students studying STEM subjects.

The Monash Virtual School VCE revision classes will provide enrolled students with extra knowledge, skills and tools which may otherwise be unavailable to them to assist with reaching their potential. We look forward to seeing many girls embrace this opportunity and what impact this has on the girls’ learnings and engagement in STEM.
