Start Remote learning for VCE students too

The issue

New evidence shows child to child transmission of COVID 19 is more apparent in Victoria. As a result, Prep to year 10 students are back to remote learning in Melbourne. Years 11 and 12 are back to school from the 13th of July but are at a high risk of contracting the virus as most travel on public transport and social distancing is not possible in small classrooms. 

Universities are back to remote learning and this includes medical students so what could be more important for a VCE student to attend face to face lessons when it is not the case for Uni students?

Please don't put these kids at risk. Especially at this crucial time before their exams. They don't need this additional stress of having to worry about being infected by attending school.  Instead we appeal to the Minister of Education and Dept of Education to allow them to go back to remote learning too.
