What is the Virtual Schooling Service (VSS)?

The VSS is an internationally and nationally recognised exemplar of excellence in distance education. The service uses innovative delivery strategies and a range of learning technologies to support students at a distance.

Now in its 6th year of operation, VSS delivers subjects including German, Modern History, Dance and Information and Processing Technology, covering schools from the Gold Coast to Torres Strait, from Townsville to Mt Isa.

Enrolments information for 2007 and 2008

Please note that the application process for enrolling students in the Virtual Schooling Service’s (VSS) Year 11 i-school subject offerings (German, Economics, IPT, Japanese, Modern History, Physics, Dance and Mathematics C) closes on Friday 14 December 2007 and both enrolments for Year 11 and 12 will reopen on Wednesday 23 Janury 2008.

As you would be aware, the i-school component of the VSS is becoming increasingly popular as a means for expanding student subject choice through authentic pedagogy and places for 2008 will fill quickly in each of the subjects. I would therefore recommend you complete the application process as soon as possible.

While in the past we have been able to accommodate most applications, early lodgement of your school’s intended enrolments for 2008 are encouraged to avoid disappointment.

Please visit the VSS i-school website and choose the 'Before you enrol' option to find out about the processes involved in enrolments for 2008.
