Stawell Secondary College principal Carlos Lopez said while it was a rush to get teachers and pupils organised for remote learning, it's something they have gotten used to.

"It's not like it's something we haven't done before," Mr Lopez said.

Pupils will be remote learning over the lockdown but Friday, May 28, will be a pupil-free day.

"Our model for remote learning was quite successful last time, we've made some small adjustments," he said.

"One of the focuses is the wellbeing of our students and that they keep up with their education."

Mr Lopez said everyone was a bit anxious before the announcement.

"A lot of the anxiety is out of not knowing, once the decision is made, people were a lot calmer," he said.

"Our teachers are battle hardened in terms of remote learning.

"We had planned for this eventuality as well."

Mr Lopez said the resilience of the community and school has astounded him.

"I am so proud of the students, staff and community doing their best to ensure the education of our students was not compromised during lockdown," he said.

The Year Nine and Ten camp was cancelled earlier this year, which was going to be in Melbourne.

At Stawell Primary School, pupils will be remote learning with the school providing laptops.

Pupils will be remote learning from Friday, May 28 and return to on site learning on Friday, June 4.

More information to come for onsite learning capabilities for the school.

Ararat West Primary School principal Terry Keilar said the school have been maintaining the use of online learning for homework.

"We'll go into remote learning until next Friday," he said.

"Our teachers are getting themselves with Google classroom which is what our school used during remote learning periods last year. All our students are connected to Google classrooms."

The information is being shared to families via email, with pupils and the schools Facebook page.

"Any students who don't have access to Google classroom will have a hard copies of information, all students will be sent home with hard copies."

Mr Keilar said teachers and students learnt a lot from remote learning.

"Our staff have responded well," he said.

"Our students continue to use Google classrooms with homework.

"But it doesn't take away that it's an anxious period. We've got to be mindful of staff, students and parents wellbeing."
