Information for year 11 and 12 regarding study periods, leaving school during the day and Wednesday & Thursday afternoon arrangements 2025
Senior students are expected to arrive at school by 8:55am. The daily attendance is marked in class at the beginning of the period 1 lesson. If you have a study period for period 1, you are still expected to arrive by 8:55 am and go to the library to be marked present for the day. Any student who arrives after the commencement of period 1 will need to see a Deputy Principal before getting a late slip from the front office.
You are expected to attend all your timetabled lessons on time. If you have a study period, you need to sign in at the senior study area in the library at the start of the lesson. If you need to leave the library during the study lesson, you need to see the Librarian before signing out. No student is to leave school grounds during the day without a leave pass. To get a leave pass you need to see a Deputy Principal.
If your teacher is absent go to your timetabled room as there may be a casual teacher appointed to your class or one of the senior executive may take your class. If there is no teacher available, you are to go to the senior study area in the library and use your time to study.
Senior students can leave school without getting a leave pass from the office at 12:55 pm on the Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons, as shown on your timetable. If you have any “N” awards, you will give up this right and will need to complete the work in the library.
The school strongly encourages students who find it difficult to study at home to remain at school and use the library. If you are staying at school during these times, you will need to sign on in the library and get a leave pass if you leave before 3:15pm.
During exam periods, you may go home without getting a leave pass.
Students driving their cars are only to have passengers whose parents have given written permission to the school allowing their child to travel in a car driven by you. You need to complete/provide registration details to the office.
If you need to go to an appointment throughout the week, you are to speak to a Deputy prior for approval to leave, then get a leave pass from the front office.
