--- title: Catholic Education WA (CEWA) fires up Teams and Office 365 for Virtual School Network, expands student opportunities | Microsoft EDU description: "Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) uses Microsoft Teams to promote equity of access to learning opportunities for students. This online school originated out of needs associated with distance and limited class offerings at small schools—but shortly after opening, they discovered that it was also beneficial for several other categories of students, such as elite athletes who frequently traveled or students experiencing health concerns and needed to work remotely. After only two years of operation, CEWA sees a continued demand for its service.\n\nThough the schools looking at online education due to the COVID-19 outbreak did not originally intend to offer virtual learning, it will likely lead to a discovery of benefits that may not have been previously considered. This blog provides an insight into what CEWA experienced during its transition, the advantages and peculiarities of virtual learning, and how Teams made communication and collaboration possible: \"We believe that when you have strong relationships between students and teacher you get a great connection, and with a great connection you get great collaboration. Teams gives us the flexibility to collaborate in one spot,\" shares CEWA program manager Meredith Roe.\n\nShare this blog with educators for insight into what it's actually like in remote learning classrooms." --- Call us Today! (866) 846-7123 [![AdaptivEdge](https://info.adaptivedge.com/hs-fs/hubfs/adaptivedge.png?width=249&height=50&name=adaptivedge.png "AdaptivEdge")](http://adaptivedge.com/) -
