Students who turn 16 years of age or complete Year 10 enter the post-compulsory schooling phase of learning. This agreement lists the expectations of students in the
Senior Phase of Learning at DBSHS. Meeting these expectations will help students be successful in their learning in order to graduate with dignity, purpose and options.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF STUDENTS
I understand that as a senior Student of Good Standing at Deception Bay State High School, I need to:
| ☐ | display the School’s values of
Belonging,
Integrity,
Persistence and
Aspiration at all times and follow the School’s Positive Behaviour for Learning rules of
Safety,
Respect,
Cooperation and
Learning. |
| ☐ | wear the School’s uniform in accordance with the
DBSHS Uniform Policy, including following the process if I do not wear the correct uniform. |
| ☐ | maintain
at-school attendance of 90% including arriving to all timetabled classes on time, and that any subject issues should be discussed with HOD Senior Schooling as soon as possible. |
| ☐ | be prepared for learning by having a
pen, notebook and laptop, plus whatever else is required for specific subjects (e.g. a gym towel for Fitness, a calculator for Maths, etc.). |
| ☐ | follow the School’s rules for
acceptable IT usage including rules relating to use of the school network and the rules for
phones and headphones (away for the day). |
| ☐ | follow the School’s Assessment Policy, including
submitting assessment on or before the due date and completing the
AARA (Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments) and/or Illness and misadventure process as required. |
| ☐ | attend
Recharge and tutorials when required. |
| ☐ | commit to and maintain a
healthy study routine. I understand that, for General subjects, this includes approximately 2 hours of homework, study or assessment work per subject per week. |
