Students are expected to be in school by 8.30 a.m. at the latest in order to register with their tutor at 8.35 a.m. If students are late, they must sign in the late book at the Secondary office (Grades 6-8) or the Diploma Studies office (Grades 9-12). Students are expected to attend all their scheduled classes. If students need to leave school early, they must bring a note from their parent(s) first and sign out at the appropriate school office. Students who are unwell must see the school nurse first, before going home sick. If students are absent from school, they should bring a note to explain why on their return to school. Absence notes are provided at the back of this diary.

Homework is assigned to extend the topics studied in class and to give students an opportunity to work independently or in groups to extend their understanding further. All homework should be noted in the homework diary to ensure accurate recording of work to be completed and the date to be handed in.
Students should expect that homework will be issued using the “10 minute principle�, i.e. that they should have no more than 10 minutes of homework times their grade level (e.g. Grade 6 students = no more than 60 minutes per night, Grade 7 no more than 70 minutes, etc.). If students find that they are spending longer than this on homework, they should discuss the matter with their tutor or subject teacher to establish whether it is an issue of time management, or whether they are receiving too much homework.
The amount of homework is dictated by the increase of study courses. Students who are having problems balancing homework demands should discuss this at an early opportunity with their tutor.
It is the responsibility of the students to seek help from their teacher before the date for handing in homework if assistance is required. When students miss a lesson, it is their responsibility to catch up on work missed and to complete any homework issued in that lesson.

You need to use an in-text citation any time a piece of information appears in a paper that doesn’t belong to the writer. Whether it’s a paraphrase of another person’s ideas, a direct quote using someone else’s words, a statistic, a fact, or an opinion, if it didn’t come from the writer’s own mind it needs to be cited. Place the citation at the end of the sourced information, even if it’s in the middle of a sentence. Most citations are placed at the end of a sentence. Always place any punctuation after the parentheses. Treat the citation as part of the sentence. e.g. Most scientists agree with this fact (Smith 180). However, if the writer mentions the author in the text, only the page number is needed in parentheses. E.g. According to Schama, Louis XVI remained calm during his trial: "The Terror had no power to frighten an old man of seventytwo" (822).
Remember: The most basic form of an in-text citation is the author’s last name followed by the page number where the information was found. There is no punctuation between the author’s name and the page number. Simply leave a space between them. This format is used for books, magazines, newspapers, and any other source with an author and page number. Readers should be able to find the author’s name alphabetically on the Works Cited page.
