Curriculum

Homework Requirements and Expectations

You will be given 6 hours of homework per week.

  • Private study is an essential part of the work at this level and, like homework, it is essential to your academic success.
  • The deadlines that are set are expected to be met, persistent missing of deadlines will result in the disciplinary procedure being followed. Private study periods are periods where students are expected to work without the immediate involvement of teachers. These are STUDY periods, NOT FREE TIME. They need careful planning and, if necessary, a variation in the way that they are used.
  • Attendance is full-time: 8.45am - 3.30pm, Monday to Friday. Travel and Tourism requires a lot of extra reading and the library has many useful texts and newspaper articles for students to use.
