Learning@home
The Department of Education is progressively releasing a range of online learning materials for students in years Prep to 12 which will be available on the Department of Education's website from Friday 20 March. This is not designed to replace the need for students to attend school. Please use the Department of Education link on the right side of the page.
If schools temporarily close, teachers may move some or all of your children’s learning online. Most Queensland state school students already have experience in working online using tools such as email, OneDrive, Class Notebook, or the The Learning Place which has tools like Virtual Classrooms, Web Conferencing and edStudios.
Additional resources and links
There are many educational websites that provide learning activities for students of all ages. To help you select relevant activities when visiting these websites look at the Prep to Year 10
Australian Curriculum Parent information webpage to see what your children will be learning in each learning area at each stage of schooling.
