Victorian students began remote learning on Wednesday for term two in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Melrose Primary School principal Ben Slocombe said about 10 per cent of the 335 students learned in small groups at school, with the rest working on website platforms from home.

"There were some issues along the way but most of those have not necessarily been about the internet coping, it's about people learning how to use technology in a way they may not have used before," he said.

"It's been very nice to talk to families to support them through the challenges at home but also to understand that we need to work on this together.

"So together we're going to get to the end and support each other emotionally as well as academically, because they both go hand in hand during this time."

Darta Hovey, principal of Catholic College Wodonga, said the school had "a great day actually, very busy".

Only 33 of the 1220 students were on site, with Zoom used for remote learning, few technical issues and good parental support.

"It's been really nice to receive that sort of feedback from families, it's been a lot of work to get us to this point," Mr Hovey said.

"Fingers crossed it keeps working and the technology keeps supporting us and we should be OK."

Victory Lutheran College principal John Thompson said classrooms and playgrounds were much quieter and some people were anxious at first.

"We've fortunately had a learning management system in use since last year and students are remarkably resilient, with many adept to technology and learning online," he said.

"For the first day, it went well and we continue to look for ways for support our college students and families."

Vern Hilditch, executive principal of Wodonga's senior secondary and middle years colleges, said the senior college at one stage had 894 people online "and it didn't fall over, so the system's doing very well".

"There's been a few teething problems which will be ironed out and we'll work one on one with parents and the students to make sure that it's a successful experience for everyone," he said.

Several other North East schools were also contacted for comment.
