Support for Academic Progress

Friends’ residential accommodation offers an integrated and comprehensive package for the education of students from Australia and overseas. There is a structured approach to study to help all students perform to the best of their ability. Staff in the residence monitor each student’s academic progress and liaise closely with tutors and teachers in the High School and Clemes, and follow up concerns when necessary. A self-disciplined approach to study, that is respectful of all members of the community, is required.

As a community of learners, help with homework is also available, whether from a member of residential staff, an outside tutor or another student. An outside tutor is available to help students from 6.45pm-8.45pm each evening from Monday to Thursday. 

Effective work habits are developed by established homework and study routines and help is given with generic study skills. We encourage students to complete work as well as consolidate their skills or knowledge of content and the concepts they have explored that day during the supervised study and in their own time each evening.
