St J​ohn Fisher College Online Education (FisherONE) is a learning environment designed to meet the needs of Year 11 and Year 12 students who have difficulty accessing specific subjects at their current school and seeking an online learning option that is delivered with the care, understanding, and connection of a Catholic community. FisherONE offers a growing range of subjects as a single subject enrolment (SSE) - a flexible learning arrangement that offers fully facilitated learning engagements that happen in conjunction with the subject choices at your current school. When students enrol in one of the FisherONE online subjects, it becomes part of their school timetable and they have specific time scheduled for the subject, just like all their other 

subjects.

What is online learning?
At FisherONE, online learning is the focused use of digital tools to provide exceptional learning opportunities. Our teachers use the digital environment to be present in your learning location. They integrate digital resources and frequent communication to deliver a learning experience that rivals being present in the classroom. The major difference is that the online student has flexibility around when some of the learning takes place.

Our teachers manage content in their digital classroom, set assessments and learning tasks that are equivalent to normal class expectations, and they create specific times to connect with students as individuals and as a class. Online students have regular connection with their teacher, with other students, and will be guided through their senior subject assessments. Classes include group video lessons, regular individual student follow-ups, and constant connection to the class through the digital learning environment.

All FisherONE subjects are compliant with the QCAA standards and expectations, the teachers are engaged and accessible, and the learning experience is facilitated and rigorous.

Online learning in 2023 is available to Year 11 and Year 12 students.

Choosing Online Learning:

Online learning is a fantastic option for many students. Is it right for your child?

Online learning takes self-motivation, persistence, and the willingness to be open in communication with your teacher and ask for help and direction when needed. It is for those who are genuinely interested in the chosen subject and are committed to be successful.

To help you and your child decide about online learning, we have created a self-assessment that highlights the skills and attitudes of successful learners in online environment. This self-assessment

should form part of the SET planning process. Download the self-assessment form, complete the self-assessment, and take it to your SET plan meeting.

Why choose FisherONE for online learning?
FisherONE offers a selection of QCAA senior subjects as online courses. There are several major advantages of studying online with FisherONE.

FisherONE means more subjects choices. Choosing to study online opens the option of choosing a subject that is not offered at your child’s current school. Being able to look beyond the subjects offered at your current school means greater choice and, potentially, a senior subject profile that more closely matches your child's interests and post-school aspirations.

FisherONE means greater subject availability. Studying online is one way to remove timetabling conflicts. With online learning, students can select to study a subject that might not be available because it is offered in conflict with another of their subjects.

FisherONE means flexibility and focus. Some students do better when they control the time and attention they give to their subject. Online learning melds a teacher facilitated learning path with the flexibility of student time management.

FisherONE means learning in a Catholic context. As an extension of St John Fisher College, FisherONE represents quality and choice in a Catholic learning environment. Our commitment to your success rests on the skills and experience of our quality teachers who provide exceptional learning opportunities, and their ethos is based on the spiritual development and personal wellbeing of each child.
