Learning and Wellbeing Our purpose as a school is to engage all students to reach their learning potential through guidance, care and the highest quality of teaching. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment in which the school community encourages all individuals to achieve their personal best. We are committed to high quality learning and wellbeing outcomes for all students. Excellent student learning and positive wellbeing will be achieved when the school, parents and students work together cooperatively. Full engagement in the set curriculum and the broader life of the school, will be highly beneficial to students in the following ways: »» Maximised academic success contributing to positive outcomes in life and work »» Well developed social skills that enable successful relationships »» A well rounded understanding of themselves, including the ability to understand and manage their emotions.
Home Group Teachers The Home Group Teacher is the main link between the student, their parent/caregiver and school community. The Home Group Teacher’s role is to support each student’s personal growth and development, through developing positive, constructive and meaningful relationships with their group of students and their families. Any parent concerns or queries should be forwarded to the Home Group Teacher in the first instance.

Homework Homework is an integral part of each student’s study program throughout secondary school. Homework serves to: »» Support current studies »» Provide valuable training in independent work habits »» Provide time for reflection and revision.
Responsibilities Students »» Record set work and due dates in their diary »» Complete set work on time »» Discuss with teachers any problems which may arise before the date set for completion of work and, if necessary, obtain a note from parents »» Plan the use of their homework time, setting aside time for reading, revising and completing class work.
Teachers »» Clearly explain set tasks and the due date for completion »» Ensure that set homework is marked and student progress recorded »» Inform parents of any problems »» Monitor the recording of homework in the School Diary.
Home Group Teachers »» Reinforce and encourage students to make effective use of their diary »» Aid students in planning individual workloads »» Liaise with parents if necessary.
Families »» Provide a quiet, comfortable, well lit place for students to study »» Help students plan the use of their time, taking into account out of school commitments »» Discuss any concerns regarding homework with the student and the school »» Sign the student’s diary each week.
Times It is not possible to prescribe the exact amount of time a student should spend completing homework each week. Average guidelines are: Year 8/9
6-8 hours per week
Year 11
15-20 hours per week
Year 10
8-12 hours per week

Assessment and Engagement Assessment Deadline Guidelines The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that all students are treated fairly and consistently in terms of deadlines for submission of work. Adhering to deadlines will ensure that all students have equal time in which to complete an assessment task and their work will be marked at approximately the same time. These Assessment Deadline Guidelines refer to summative tasks which are those recorded for student achievement purposes. »» All summative tasks must be submitted by the stated deadline unless an extension has been negotiated with the teacher at least 24 hours beforehand. »» Teachers should advise students when work is to be submitted during lesson time. »» Students who are legitimately and unexpectedly absent on the day that an assignment is due must submit their work on their first day back at school. The piece of work should be accompanied by a note from parents explaining the reason for absence. (Senior School students may be required to provide a medical or doctor’s certificate.) »» The responsibility for seeking an extension rests with the student. A student with repeated absences on dates when work is due may be asked to provide a medical certificate for absences. »» If a new deadline is negotiated, it becomes the final deadline and failure to hand in the work by the new date will attract appropriate penalties. »» If the deadline, or renegotiated deadline is not met, then a score of zero (0 marks) or a marks penalty will be recorded. »» Any dispute on the part of a student should be referred to the appropriate Learning Area Coordinator.
