Intensive English Program and Support

Student expectations and support

At senior high school level it is expected that our students:

• complete all assignments by the due data
• be responsible and request support when finding an assignment difficult
• be aware that assignments usually take several weeks to complete
• start working on assignment as soon as they are given the task sheet

In order to enrol in Stage 1 (Year 11) subjects, students need to be working within ESL Level 5, Stage 2 (Year 12) subjects require ESL Level 6. To achieve these very high levels of English competency, students must be extremely responsible for their learning of English, whilst in the SIEU. Some students may have a combination of classes that could include SIEU, Year 10 and/or Year 11.

Students who are in the senior years of their schooling must complete their Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET) in order to enter the work force or continue their education.

Students must be at school for every lesson during the school term to ensure completion of all courses and assessment tasks. Students need to attend all lessons during the school term or they will be unable to complete their education and achieve their goals.

Please do not organise any holiday or overseas travel during school term dates, as this can cause your child to fail subjects, limit their learning in English and be unable to achieve their NTCET.

All students MUST be at school on the first day of term and attend every lesson during the term.

A written letter is required for every day that a student is absent from school. The school should also be informed by phone on the morning of an absence.
