WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE PRIMARY CAMPUS
Structure and Organisation Students have the same teacher for their core subjects and stay in their own classrooms. They have different teachers for their Lifestyles subjects and move between classrooms for these lessons. The Campus operates on a one - week timetable, with the daily schedule divided into five hour - long sessions across the day. Each student has a home group teacher who is their first point of contact at the school. Each year level also has a Year Level Leader who supports students in the year level. Learning, Homework and Assignments Learning is a progression, which means that it becomes increasingly specialised as you move through each year level. Alongside this progression, homework will start and become more regular and challenging. Assessment becomes more formal, with regular Common Assessment Tasks and other tests that contribute to overall grades and future academic pathways. Responsibility and Independence Students are expected to take greater responsibility for their learning, manage their time effectively, and be more independent in their studies. Students are expected to be bring their required equipment to school, ready for the start of school each day. Extracurricular Activities There is a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports teams, clubs, and leadership opportunities, often held before or after school, or during breaks. These provide a great opportunity for students to pursue passions and to meet people in other classes and year levels. Support Systems There are specialised support systems, including literacy and numeracy interventions and mental health support. Students should talk to their Home Group teacher about the support that they may need.
