Program types
We offer programs in the following formats. For all booking inquiries please contact us at: admin@quantumvictoria.vic.edu.au.
Your booking confirms your agreement to our terms and conditions.
Onsite
Students come in person to Quantum Victoria and are taught onsite by our qualified teachers. The program runs from 9:45am to 2:15pm with recess and lunch breaks. Please inform us if you require minor adjustments to these times (e.g. 10am to 2pm) due to your mode of transport (bus schedules, train timetable, etc.).
Advantaged Government and Non-Government schools are partially subsidised, resulting in a modest cost of $10 + GST per primary student and $20 + GST per secondary student.
Rural Government and Metropolitan Disadvantaged Government school students are fully subsidised for onsite programs, resulting in no cost to these students. Rural Government school students also receive transport assistance to and from Quantum Victoria.
A minimum of 15 students per program is required for onsite programs to run. If the minimum number is not met, paying schools will be invoiced for 15 students. Maximum numbers vary depending on the program and will be confirmed upon booking.
You are also provided with access to associated online and/or asynchronous versions of the program at no cost.
All programs run for the whole day. Students cannot spend half a day on one program then swap to another.
Synchronous
Students attend a virtual live program while remaining at school. A Quantum Victoria staff member delivers a lesson over Webex at a time that suits your class's schedule. Depending on the program, this might be a single two hour session, or two separate one hour sessions.
Non-Government schools are charged $10 + GST per primary student and $20 + GST per secondary student.
Online
Students access virtual programs through our Student Portal. These have videos, diagrams, embedded applets and written information to allow students to work through them without always requiring direct instruction. There may be multiple choice questions or a PDF workbook to complete along with the module. They do not directly involve any of our staff, and can be worked on for six months from the booking date.
Online programs can be booked at any time and are free for all schools.
Asynchronous
Teachers are provided with a teacher resource PDF explaining how to run the activity yourself at school; if applicable, a student workbook is also provided. The exception is our Genius Armoury Cyber Security Modules which are completed on the Genius Armoury website.
Asynchronous programs can be booked at any time and are free for all schools.
Events are free for all Government schools. We cannot accept bookings from Non-Government schools for events except for our PrintACar Challenge and Career Talks.
Venue Hire
Our Centre offers the perfect setting for boutique conferences, meetings, seminars and presentations by industry, education and government groups. For all inquiries please contact us at: admin@quantumvictoria.vic.edu.au.
