Homework and Assignments

How can I stay on top of my homework?

→ Start early and avoid late night sessions.

→ Be sure you know what you have to do

before you leave school. if you are at

all uncertain, talk to your teacher until you

know what is required.

→ Complete the work that you least like first to

get it out of the way.

→ Make sure work for the next day is complete.

→ Plan the use of your time: do not give too

much time to any one subject; make sure

you leave time for long projects.

→ Aim to finish extended assignments

well within the set deadlines in

order to give yourself time to cover

unexpected difficulties.

→ Do not forget that homework includes

revising for tests, organising notes,

wider reading, as well as assignment tasks.

→ Students can access homework assistance

at lunchtimes in the SST room.

Years 7–8

1–1.5 hours per night

Years 9–10

2 hours per night

Years 11–12

3 hours per night

Homework could include things like working

on assignments, reading a novel, completing

class work that you did not have time to finish

at school, revising class work or studying for

a test.

Below are the recommended number of

hours per day that students should spend on

private study and homework. However, due to

the varying rates at which individual students

are able to complete work, these figures are

suggested as a guide only.

What happens if I am absent on the due date?if you are absent when an assignment is due,

you need to hand your assignment to your

teacher during the first lesson you see them.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be

able to negotiate a new due date.

Work submitted on paperAll sheets should be stapled/pinned together.

Format:

→ Leave a margin (about 2 cm) on the side of

each page.

→ Number each page.

if you type your assignment the font needs

to be size 12, Arial or Times New Roman.

Remember to use the show/hide button

(to reveal formatting as you type).

if you handwrite your assignment use a black

or blue pen. There is no penalty for handwritten

work but it needs to be neat.

Type or write on one side of the page only.

The assessment task should contain a

cover sheet.

How should I correctly present my assignments?

→ Make sure you read over the teacher’s

instructions given for the assessment task

before you hand it in, and check that you

have covered everything required. if in doubt,

check with your teacher well before the

due date.

→ Always edit your work carefully and check

the following before handing it in:

→ spelling of words you are unsure of

→ punctuation, especially full–stops, question

marks, commas, colons, semicolons,

apostrophes, quotation marks

→ capital letters for people, place, titles of

books, films, songs

→ consistent use of tense

→ paragraphing

→ is the language as clear as you can make it

and appropriate for formal writing?

→ check to see that you have not used

abbreviations, especially “etc”

→ check to see that you have not used slang

→ have you avoided using “i” or “you” in

an essay?

Helpful tip: if you read your work aloud,

you will find it easier to check punctuation and

see that your words make sense.

What will happen if I hand in my assignment late?if you are struggling to complete an assignment

or homework on time due to illness or other

circumstances you could ask your teacher for

an extension, before the due date. There may

be penalties for work submitted late. if you

have a reasonable request for an extension you

need to see your classroom teacher at least

three days prior to the due date with a written

note from a parent/guardian. A valid reason

may be that you missed some school days due

to illness.

What do I do if I am not happy with my grade?if you feel that a mark or grade given by a

teacher for a piece of work or a complete

semester’s work is unfair, then you should take

the following steps:

You should approach the teacher concerned

and ask why that particular mark/grade has

been awarded.

if, after speaking to the classroom teacher,

you still feel that the assessment is unfair,

you should speak to the Curriculum

Coordinator for that subject and ask for a

review of the assessment item or unit grade.

What is a Unit Outline and what are they used for?At the beginning of each semester for

each subject, you will receive a detailed

Unit Outline which includes:

→ Content Overview

→ Goals

→ Outcomes

→ Assessment Tasks

→ Due Dates

Helpful tip: Copy the Assessment Tasks and

Due Dates from your Unit Outline into your

Student Organiser and a calendar at home.

This will help you stay on top of when your

assignments are due. All of your Unit Outlines

will be available on SEQTA.

What is a Rubric?With each assignment you will receive a rubric.

Your teacher will use the rubric to assess your

work. The rubric is given out at the same time

as the assignment, so it is a good indication

of what you should include in your task.

Once your work has been marked, the rubric

should explain why you received the results

you did.

Assessment and Reporting

When do I get my reports and what will they look like?Mid–Semester Reports are issued at the

end of Term 1 and Term 3 and let you and

your parents know how you are progressing.

At the end of each Semester, you will receive

a comprehensive report which indicates

your overall results and includes a comment

from all of your teachers. if you have shown

outstanding achievement or effort you may also

receive an award.

When are Parent/Teacher Interviews?The precise dates will be written on the

College Student Calendar, however, they are

generally held in the last two weeks of

Term 1 and Term 3. Parents can book

interviews online in the week prior to the

Parent Teacher Interviews.

Parents are able to contact teachers by phone or

email at any time if they have any questions or

concerns. Emailing staff members is easy if you

know their name. The format for email addresses

is: firstname.surname@stcc.act.edu.au

in network orientation sessions in which you

will be guided through everything you need to

you need to use the following procedure:

same files that you can see from the

College computers.

the student portal (known as ConeqtS).

What do I do if my computer or printer fails?Make sure that you have saved your

work carefully! USB storage devices should

be used only as a backup and you should

always make sure your work is saved to your

subject folders on the College network. You will

be shown how to do this as part of your

network orientation.

if an assignment is due and your printer has

failed, you could use a printer in the Library

your teacher. Make sure that you check with

your teacher that they received the task. it is

not acceptable to request an extension for an

assessment task just because your printer or

computer has failed.

AssistanceiT Support Staff are available to help you from

the IT Office with problems connecting your

devices to the College network, login problems

or issues with the College computers. if you

Senior StudentsAll senior students are expected to be

at school for morning pastoral care class

each day.

With parental approval (given in writing by

parent or guardian at the beginning of each

school year), Years 11 and 12 students may leave

the school grounds for study purposes after

11.00am if they do not have scheduled lessons.

Year 11 students are not permitted to leave at

11.00am during Term 1 of Year 11.

Senior LeaveLeave for holidays will not normally be

approved in Years 11 and 12.

To meet ACT Board of Senior Secondary

Studies requirements and assist our students

to plan, the College has a system for senior

leave requests.

A form has been designed that enables a

student to seek leave from the College and

provide the Principal with information about

how she will manage scheduled assessment

tasks and missed course content during

the absence.

Prior to requesting leave, students are

required to discuss their assessment/s and

missed course content with their teachers.

They can type all information directly into

the Senior Leave Request and Assessment

Arrangements Form. The form is printed for

signature by individual teachers and a parent

or carer prior to submitting to Mr Carroll for

his consideration.

Once the leave is approved and the student

and parent informed, the form will be given to

the Student Attendance Officer who will record

the details and inform the student’s teachers.

Students or parents can obtain the form from

the College Website under the About Us →
