Student Management

Diaries

The student diary is an integral part of a Mazenod student’s life. It is the starting point of organisation, the source of College rules and the vehicle for communication.

All students should use the diary to record homework and assignments. Teachers are to check whether this has been carried out on a regular basis. Such checks determine whether the diary is in a fit state given better performing students are those who are well organised, know when assignments are due and have a clear and detailed record of homework.

Regular use of the diary should foster these habits. Unsuitable pictures and graffiti should be actively discouraged. If the diary is in such poor state that the student needs to replace it, another may be purchased from the Student Counter.

Class Environment

To ensure that classroom cleanliness is maintained some teachers devise a roster, which includes the duties of closing the windows, emptying the bin and cleaning the whiteboard. At the end of Period 6 the teacher in the classroom supervises the cleaning of the classroom, closing of windows and lifting chairs on tables.
