How to order?

Senior School students and parents can skip the queues and pre-order online from the main Canteen.

Through the same My Monitor System, Middle School students purchasing on campus can load cash onto their student card to pay. Students can also pay with EFTPOS or cash.

Students are not permitted to ride skateboards, scooters, rollerblades or other similar wheeled devices to, from or at the College.

Buses

Several bus routes serve the College. Bus services routes are finalised before the start of the school year, depending on demand and access. Routes and timetables are available from Public Reception and on the College website.

To request a seat on the bus, please fill out the form and email Ms Lisa Wilson, or hand into Public Reception.

Bicycles

Students riding bicycles to the College are expected to obey the relevant road rules. This includes the requirement to wear approved helmets. Students failing to do so may be required to walk home. Helmets are to be stored on the bag rack outside the classroom.

Students must walk with bicycles on the College grounds, and they must be stored in the racks provided. Bicycles must be locked in the racks during the day. The bike park area is out of bounds during the school day.

Train Service

The College is served by train along the Cleveland line and is about a 10-minute walk from the Wellington Point station.

Generally, all Senior School teachers are expected to set homework. Homework will usually act as a revision of previous work, review of the day’s work, preparation for the next day’s classes or assessment items such as assignments. Teachers are expected to set work that is relevant and useful in helping the student to achieve to the best of their ability.

Students are expected to record all homework in either a paper or electronic diary. Parents may assist by encouraging students to develop study timetables, by providing a suitable place for the completion of homework, by showing an interest in the work done and by regularly encouraging the student in their work.

Positive encouragement will produce far more effective responses than nagging or chastising.

Planning is made easier by developing a timetable for all subjects for each week. When planning a timetable, remember that:-

• Homework will vary between written and non-written work.
• Generally speaking, all teachers will set some homework, though not all of the time.
• It is your responsibility to ensure that all homework is recorded in “Reminders” on your iPad or paper diary.
• Students are expected to include regular revision of daily work in their study and homework time. The statement: “I have nothing to do” is not the reality.

Students should include regular revision in their homework time. Homework is not just set written work but all work necessary to achieve a good result. Much of the time spent should be self-directed study.

There is no correct way to study. Students should experiment with different techniques until the one that works for them is found. It has been shown in studies that doing homework while watching television, listening to music and checking chat lines or social networking sites decreases productivity. Interactive computer media is a distraction during homework time, and a stronger study focus will be achieved if it is switched off.

Academic tutoring is complimentary and is available on Monday – Thursday from 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm in College Heart.

Tutors are able to assist in all subject areas, and students are welcome to attend and leave at any time that’s convenient to them.

The Redlands College First Aid Centre is the provider of immediate first aid for sick or injured students and operates from 8:00 am to 3:15 pm each day. Parents are welcome to meet with the First Aid Centre attendants to provide documentation and discuss any health issues that might affect your child while at school.

If your child is unwell, please do not send them to school; it is better to keep them home until they are well enough to fully participate in a normal school day without the assistance of Paracetamol or Nurofen.

Students who become ill or are injured during the school day should report to a teacher to refer them to the First Aid Centre. From there, students will either return to class once treated, or a parent or listed emergency contact person will be notified of your child needs to go home. Children who present to the First Aid Centre with a temperature over 37.5 degrees will be sent home. Your child should be collected as soon as possible after you have been contacted by the College, as the First Aid Centre has the facilities to care for students on a short term basis only. Panadol may be administered to your child only after permission has been given by a parent/caregiver.

Parents may wish to refer to the QLD Health’s information sheet regarding medical conditions and exclusion from school, which we strictly adhere to, with the addition of immediate exclusion for headlice.

For further information, please refer to Wellbeing, as well as relevant Policies.
