CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS MANAGE YOUR TIME At College, there is no bell to signal the start and end of class. You are independent and entrusted with managing your time effectively. This includes arriving to class on time, using gaps in your timetable wisely, and completing projects to deadlines. Most technical study areas have entire half days or days devoted to the subject, as opposed to A Level classes. This means time can be spent on your individual coursework or group activity as appropriate. KEEP YOUR WORKPLACE TIDY Be aware of the space you’re working in and sharing with other learners. Be respectful of each other’s work space and keep your station clean and tidy after each session. ATTEND ALL YOUR LESSONS If you are unable to make a class, report your absence using the College Absence Line. BE A COMMITTED AND DEDICATED LEARNER Get the most out of your learning by participating in lessons. There are lots of opportunities for discussion and creative input. Your time at College will be more rewarding if you have given it your all. Only use your mobile phone and other electronic devices as part of learning, and only when agreed by the teacher. KEEP SAFE Follow health and safety policies at all times. This includes wearing the correct uniform or protective clothing for your subject. For example, wear steel-toed boots in the construction department; keep long hair tied back in Beauty Therapy; keep your midriff covered in Catering. Also, be sure to wear your College lanyard at all times, so you can be easily identified around campus. RESPECT THE COLLEGE ENVIRONMENT Look after borrowed equipment and resources, correctly dispose of your rubbish and recycling and conduct yourself in a sensible and polite manner. 24
