FROM THE ACTING DEPUTY PRINCIPAL – ACADEMIC

As we move into Term 3, students will be completing an array of assessment including assignments and examinations. It is important that students are managing their time, as well as having study-life balance which includes time for hobbies, exercise and reading. To complement this upcoming assessment, a reminder that the College provides a range of support and resources:

• Tutoring Schedule

Teachers at the College provide a range of tutoring opportunities for students, including before and after school and during lunch breaks. The tutoring schedule for Semester 2, 2025 is located on the Learning Hub and has been emailed to parents and students. As well as this document, students are encouraged to speak to their teachers for alternative tutoring times.

• Study Timetable

With students receiving their Timetable, Assessment Calendar and the Tutoring Schedule, they can now begin to plan their study timetables. It is important that students are implementing these procedures early in the year and having a regular routine. The College diary includes further information regarding study including appropriate places to study, time management, organisation, sleep habits and balance. 

As a general guide for students and parents/guardians, the following average times per day are suggested for each year level for homework/study:

• Year 7 – 30 minutes to 1 hour
• Year 8 – 1 ½ hours
• Year 9 – 2 hours
• Year 10 – 2 ½ hours
• Year 11 – 3 hours
• Year 12 – 3 ½ hours
