Griffith University Free Reading Tutoring – students aged 8-14 years.

Griffith University is currently providing funding to continue the Griff Linc Reading Research tutoring sessions in 2025. The program involves free tutoring, 2 - 3 times per week for half an hour each time, for 5-6 months. All tutoring will be outside of school hours and will be free of charge. Students will be matched with Griffith University students and other volunteers who have been vetted and trained by the researchers.

Please find attached further information on how to register for this free, learner-centred tutoring opportunity.

Academic Policies and Procedures

It is important to be aware that student assessment is regulated by Shalom’s Academic Policies and Procedures which can be found in the Student Record Book from page 14 to 26. This includes issues surrounding drafting, academic integrity, and non-submission of work.

Flowcharts outlining the processes required for students who miss an exam or wish to request an extension are on pages 16 and 17. Please be aware that extensions need to be applied for in advance of the due date. Drafts are compulsory. Non-submission of a draft may lead to a student being asked to attend a Supplementary Session on Tuesday afternoon. Of particular importance is the requirement for evidence (e.g. a medical certificate) for exams missed in all year 11 and 12 subjects.

Please contact the Dean of Middle School. Mrs Megan Munckton via email Megan_Munckton@rok.catholic.edu.au or the Dean of Senior School, Mrs Patricia Allen via email Patricia_Allen@rok.catholic.edu.au  with any questions regarding assessment submission.
