check over your work thoroughly.

VISITS BY TEACHERS

assist you in completing some aspect of
your work and discuss any problems
you are experiencing.
• You will be contacted prior to any visit
so that a suitable time can be
organised.
• Teachers visit many of our full time students during the year..
MINI SCHOOLS
• At various times, DE may run a mini school. This is where a number of
students travel to a regional centre or to the Distance Education Centre for one
or two days to work on special school projects and mix with other DE students.
SUPPORT CENTRES
• Support Centres are located throughout our region to provide Distance Education Students the ongoing support they need to complete their coursework. Visits occur at least twice a term, with some centres meeting fortnightly or weekly.
• If you would love some tutoring, either in a one on one situation or as part of a group, then speak to your year coordinator
GETTING ORGANISED….
• Fill in a timetable so that you do some work in each subject each day.
• Sort your Title Pages in subject areas (placing title page number 1 at the top of the pile). It may be a good idea to fill all the title pages of each subject in separate folders.
• To start your work, take Title Page 1 for each subject area. This will be your first week’s work which must be completed and posted at the end of the week.
• If possible you should send a completed Title page for every subject each week.
• If you have any questions or problems with your work, contact your teacher.
PLANNING YOUR TIME…
• Having a routine that works for you will ensure your success.
• At school you would spend approximately 5-6 hours per day, including lesson
times and breaks. You will need to spend the same amount of time on your DE
studies. How will you arrange your day?
• When you are planning your time remember to include homework/revision
time.
• Build in some rewards for your efforts e.g. Watch your favourite TV show, have
a snack break, read a book or play a game, etc.
Use this blank timetable to plan your time. You may want to turn it into a poster to have near your workspace.
