Academic Recovery

The school supports an Academic Recovery system. If a student has failed to submit a draft or appears to be falling behind in their assignment work, the subject teacher will issue an Academic Recovery on Daymap. This means the student has lost their rights to go home for study and must report to the Senior Learning Hub and work independently or with support to finish their draft or assignment. Alicia, our Social Worker, often drops in to catch up with these students to provide further support.

Studiosity

This year the school has engaged with Studiosity company. They provide one-to-one online help for the following subjects: Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English. They also provide a drafting/editing role where students upload any written assignment and receive feedback from an expert. They will receive this within 24 hours, often less. This allows the student to receive two drafts, one initially from Studiosity and then one from their subject teacher. Students have been shown how this works and we hope they will make good use of this.

University Camp

This year we are offering a camp to Adelaide for year 12 students to visit universities, boarding colleges and provide opportunities for students to get acquainted with the city. The expression of interest forms were handed out in BT in week 2. Only students who are on a university pathway and have shown a strong academic start to the year will be considered. Year 12 camp will be in week 11 this term, from Wednesday 12 to Friday 14 April.

There will be many more chances for students to plan their post-school pathway, and parent support with that is always appreciated. Please contact Marina Pater at the school, via Daymap or email if you would like to discuss any future options for your child.
