Attendance
Attendance in online lessons will look different but the expectations are the same. Please be prompt to lessons and contact your teacher via email if you will be absent from class.
Please refer to the flow chart below to help you understand what you need to do if you cannot attend a class.
How is the College monitoring attendance?
Classroom teachers will continue to keep track of attendance. They will contact your parents when there is a pattern of non- attendance in the Teams classroom space. We are treating incomplete work as we would normally and will follow NESA policy and guidelines around non submission of work.
What happens if I miss a lesson?
Lessons will be recorded using Microsoft Teams and teachers will also post information in the Posts section of the class Team. Lesson recordings will be displayed in the Posts section of the relevant subject classroom in Microsoft Teams, approximately five to ten minutes after the lesson has ended. If you miss a lesson for any reason, you will still have access to the lesson via this recording. You will be able to view these recordings online in your own time. You can view recordings after the class ends, should there be interruptions due to internet connectivity. There is no expiry date on these recordings.
How will my teacher know I am there? What if I am late to the lesson?
When in the online classroom, your teacher will conduct a roll call. You can show your teacher that you are present by following their instructions and liking their post or using the 'thumbs up' emoji in the Chat box.
If you are late in joining the lesson (Teams meeting), click on 'Join Now' on the invitation and type a message to your teacher in the Chat. For example, "Hi Mr/Mrs... sorry I am late. Can you please mark my name on the roll?'
