What People say

“In a fast-growing school with a diverse range of learners, Target Learning classroom posters have been a game-changer. The combination of visual representation and concise information has helped me explain abstract and often complicated concepts to students with varied skill levels without them feeling overwhelmed. They’re also great visuals to brighten up your classroom!”

Alexis, Teacher - Loyola College, Melbourne.

"Target Learning is a website that has supported my teaching in Visual Communication Design. The resources are fantastic for both students and teachers alike! Ric Robert’s exam preparation seminar was also an invaluable experience to have with my Year 12s. Even in a remote setting, my students found the session extremely supportive for their exam preparation."

Kat, Teacher - Caroline Chisholm Catholic College, Melbourne.

Our story

Image

Target Learning began as an online learning resource known as helveticamediuma.com. It specialises in VCE Visual Communication Design and VCE Art Creative Practice and Making & Exhibiting. From writing our first course, the resources and support for teachers and students grew. These include classroom posters illustrating key concepts from Study Design Areas of Study and terms, personalised VCE examination revision and teacher planning support.

Launched in 2010, thousands of people have used this online student and teacher support in Victoria and worldwide. Team Principal Richard Roberts is a secondary school teacher, visual arts/ design author, and consultant. He has a depth of experience with VCAA as a visitation reviewer, examination assessor, author, and study design expert panel member. In addition, Richard served as vice president of Visual Communication Victoria for four years, where he led a team presenting teacher unit planning seminars and creating study-specific resources. Richard’s teaching experience includes VCE (Years 11 and 12) Art, Studio Arts, Media and VCD. Richard has also led Visual Arts faculties at independent and Catholic colleges. Richard’s students’ academic successes include study scores 50 in Media, VCD and VET IDM, representation at the VCAA Seasons of Excellence ‘Top Designs’ and ‘Top Arts’ and at Premier’s Awards. Richard understands the needs of current, connected and independent students and engages with them as they learn.

Target Learning began as a Visual Arts resource and support site and is growing to include a more diverse range of subjects as collaboration with expert teachers and assessors continues.
