Central Victorian schools will go ahead with the same hygiene precautions instituted in term two.

Education leaders say they are excited to see students back in schools, after much of term two was spent learning online.

Bendigo Senior Secondary College principal Dale Pearce said the school would adopt the same procedures it had in place last term, such as an additional cleaning regime and a good supply of soap and disinfectant.

The school has a small number of students from the Mitchell Shire, who Mr Pearce said would be tested every morning.

Mr Pearce said students and teachers were relieved to return to school face-to-face, despite the spike of cases in Melbourne.

"The remote learning experience was quite stressful, and ... students and teachers were highly relieved to return to school," he said.

"There's certainly a level of anxiety in Victoria, as there is in Australia and the world. Our students and our parents will be feeling that,

"[But] they also are appreciative of the fact that teaching and learning are much more manageable in a face to face environment than they are online."

Kennington Primary School principal Travis Eddy said he was looking forward to getting back to school.

Mr Eddy said the rules were the same as last term for Kennington.

He said measures included, no non-school adults on site unless it was absolutely necessary, frequent hand sanitisation, and social distancing.

Catholic Education Office Sandhurst director Paul Desmond said he was excited about the start of term.

Mr Desmond said people had asked questions around school returning, unlike in Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire.

"In the clearest terms: we are not in the danger zone," he said.

Mr Desmond said he was not concerned about the start of term, given the safety protocols in place.

Students who live in the Mitchell Shire, which borders Bendigo's south east, will have their temperature checked each day.

Senior students at schools in the restricted Mitchell Shire and metropolitan Melbourne will return to face-to-face learning on Monday, while years 10 and below have an extra week of holidays.
