Victory Lutheran College chief John Thompson revealed around an eighth of students have continued to attend school since the Victorian government announced a return to remote learning earlier this month, slightly higher than the initial online switch forced by the pandemic in April.

"I guess that's kind of expected this time around, particularly with the challenges between NSW and Victoria and living on the Border," Mr Thompson said.

"We've got about 60 students that live in NSW and we've also got a number of parents working in NSW, so that adds a fair bit of complexity to our situation.

"It ranges a little bit day to day, but we would have about 100 kids on site most days.

"I'd like it to be less than that, but that's more around the impact on staff providing really good teaching.

"We've learnt from what we did in term two and we're trying to modify, adjust and improve our processes in support of our community."

Wodonga Primary School is in a similar position with 700 to 750 of its 950 pupils back to studying from home.

"We have between 170 and 210 coming to school, depending on what day of the week it is," assistant principal James Harris said.

"Compared to the first time that's up about 20 per cent.

"We've really tried to simplify things this time around to make it easier on teachers, students and parents."

Several other North East schools were contacted for comment.
