One of Melbourne’s most prestigious Catholic all-girls schools, Genazzano FCJ, has launched a voluntary hybrid online and on-campus learning program.
One of Melbourne’s most prestigious Catholic all-girls schools will change the way it educates students from next year when it introduces a hybrid model of teaching that includes an online component delivered by one of the largest state government schools.
The virtual component will require students to be on campus at a dedicated learning hub where Genazzano support teachers will monitor students’ progress and set up exams and assessments. Wholley said the online and on-campus model was adopted because she believed it was important for students to maintain social connections and learn life skills – including how to manage people.
Genazzano first developed a dedicated online learning model in 2022 to cater for two students who were performing at an elite level in dance and sport, commitments that meant they were away for extended periods for training and competition.Wholley said the hybrid model could also benefit disengaged students, which she estimated at just under 2 per cent of the student cohort.
“If we in Victoria don’t have the option of learning online, then we would have an impoverished system,” he said. Phillips said it was difficult to say whether Genazzano’s hybrid model would better prepare students for tertiary study, but he said his own research into online study at school could have a positive impact on academic results for some.
