WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE SECONDARY CAMPUS
STRUCTURE AND ORGANISATION Students have different teachers for each subject and move between classrooms for each lesson. The Campus operates on a two - week timetable, with the daily schedule divided into five hour - long sessions across the day. Each student is assigned a Learner Coach 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. Homework becomes more regular and challenging, with assignments that require more independent research and study. Assessment becomes more formal, with regular tests, exams, and reports 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 able to navigate their daily timetable with the required equipment needed for each class. Students use Compass to access their timetable, important daily announcements, reminders and learning tasks.
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 subject - specific help, career counselling, and mental health support. Students should talk to their Learner Coach about the support that they may need.
