Flexible and Remote Learning
BSS teachers have created virtual classrooms where students can learn and collaborate.
Learning activities in the virtual classrooms provide flexible and remote learning activities between home and school.

What is a Virtual Classroom?
A virtual classroom is a dynamic online space where teachers can provide learning resources, students can share their class work and together student and teacher can provide feedback and discuss the next learning.
Who can access it?
Students access their Year Level Virtual Classroom with their school username and password. Teachers use this space to deliver the curriculum. Parents are encouraged to support their child to access their Year Level Virtual Classroom.
How can they access it?
Students use their school username and password. This is their EQ ID and the password that they use at school.
