Abstract

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, students in Victoria, Australia, completed two years of virtual schooling, which has been reported to contribute to many academic, social, and mental health impacts. Thus, it is important to capture the voices of the students as they adjust to schooling in a post-pandemic era.
