HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN
Study in high school requires a new approach. Your child can become more self-reliant and independent by getting into a routine and planning their weekly workload. They may need your help with getting used to new routines.
Setting priorities and time management
Good time management helps students juggle their many commitments and interests and establish good habits for life. Weekly and monthly planners can help your child with time management. Their HPHS School Diary is a good tool for them to store and track due dates of Homework and Assignments. All Yr 7 students are taught successful diary uses and expectations during their first week at HPHS.
Help with online research
Students in the middle years need help with online research skills including finding, evaluating, communicating and reflecting on information.
KEY SUPPORT STAFF
Students are able to approach any teacher at any time for support and assistance. Staff that liaise the most with Year 7 are the Year 7 Deputy Principal Ms Jamal, the Year Advisor Ms Winnall and the Assistant Year Advisor Ms Ly.
