Victoria University Secondary College

Victoria University Secondary College is located in Brimbank LGA, VIC. The

College serves a low socio-economic community, with 52% of students being

recorded within the lowest quartile of socio-educational advantage1,2.

Brimbank residents have high quality access to ICTs, with the LGA recording an

ADII score of 73, above the VIC average of 713. Victoria University Secondary

College school reflects this trend, with the school recently integrating ICTs into

their Literacy and Numeracy curriculums.

Higher access to ICTs is reflected in the results, with all laptop recipients

surveyed indicating that they have access to reliable internet at home or their

place of study. However, access to a computer remains a key barrier for students,

with 83% indicating that they did not have access to a computer after school

hours.

Of the students who did have access to a device after school hours, all of them

had to share it with someone else in their household. As a result, laptop recipients

surveyed acknowledged that they frequently, often or occasionally had difficulty

completing school work because they did not have access to a computer.
