Facilities, Learning Spaces and Environment: Evaluates campus quality, library, modern learning spaces, and open and green spaces for recreation and learning. Technology and Innovation: Examines the integration of technology, device accessibility, innovative tools and digital literacy initiatives.

Common questions

How many schools reached Elite for Learning Environment?

25 of 143 assessed Victorian schools reached the Elite tier for Learning Environment, 17.5 percent.

What does it take to reach Elite?

A building block score of 87.5 percent or above on Schools360. There is no partial credit and no top-N fallback: appearing on this list is the claim.

Why do some building blocks not have a page for every state?

A state page is only published once at least 8 schools in that state clear Elite for the building block. Fewer than that reads as thin to a parent and arbitrary to the schools left off, so Victoria and New South Wales are the only state pages at launch.

How is the Learning Environment score calculated?

Each building block is the average of three factors, each scored out of 20 from four assessed elements. See the methodology page for the full weighting and data sources.

Is this the same as the national Learning Environment list?

No. This page shows only Victorian schools that reached Elite. The national page carries the full list for Australia and the methodology deep dive.
