Maitland Area School

Things are starting to get busy for our secondary students, with exams for some senior students only four weeks away. It is a timely reminder of the efforts required for achieving the best you can while at school.

This begins at the very start of the day with prompt attendance. The school day starts at 8:40am and it is expected that students will be in class at this time, and in appropriate school uniform.I have been impressed with some of the efforts of students as I am walking through the corridors. It is important to use your time at school effectively and it is great to see people engaged in their work and trying their best. For our senior students this also means that study lessons are used for study and not wasted, and that a suitable amount of homework is attempted every night.

This has been discussed with classes along with time management skills.I am looking forward to an exciting term and sharing the successes of our students along the way.
