Victorian students will not return to classrooms in term three, but Year 12 students will be given priority bookings for COVID-19 vaccines ahead of exams.
Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed he would next week announce a plan for students to return to face-to-face learning in term four.
"I'm not in a position, given just how rapidly things are changing ... to outline that at the moment," he told reporters on Wednesday.
"There is time. We have school holidays between some weeks of study and school holidays between now and the beginning of term four. We'll take a little bit more time to finalise the work that's already been done."
In the meantime, VCE students will be given priority access to first dose Pfizer vaccinations from September 7 to 17.
Mr Andrews estimated the priority access would cover between 60,000 to 70,000 Year 12 students and Year 11 pupils sitting VCE exams.
He expects the lion's share of the cohort to be vaccinated through state-run hubs, though urged students with previously arranged bookings with GPs and pharmacies to honour them.
The priority access will make use of doses allocated to Victoria as part of the 500,000 additional Pfizer doses procured by the federal government from Singapore.
But Mr Andrews said the state government had a "back-up plan" to move around some second dose Pfizer appointments to reach its target to have all Year 12 students vaccinated by October 5.
The General Achievement Test has been rescheduled again to October 5.
