Information About After School Academic Assistance

At the Senior School, each Monday to Thursday afternoon we offer Academic Assistance in the library. This is run from 3.45-5.30pm in the library and is a supervised study session with at least one Senior School teacher. This is available to all Middle Years and Senior Years students (Year 7-12). Each Wednesday afternoon Maths teachers offer a help session, and each Tuesday afternoon Mr Gong offers a Chinese help session. Students are free to work on any homework they need, but may, focus on a specific subject. 

For Middle Years students this can be a useful time to complete homework and/or seek help for a specific subject. 

It’s a great time to complete homework or a study session: 

• while waiting for parents to pick them up.
• before or after music lessons/sports trainings/sports games.
• if students are struggling with a subject and need some extra help.

If students plan to use Academic Assistance, they must make sure they sign in at the start of the session and sign out when leaving (departure can be anytime up until 5.30pm). If students are departing early, a note from their parent in their diary is required. 

All students are welcome to attend Academic Assistance. If they would like specific help in a subject, it is worth students pre-organising this with the specific teacher.
