Roles & Responsibilities

Student Performance

Students completing courses through the Independent Learning Centre have one year to complete the course. However, students are expected to submit lessons/assignments on a continuous basis.

In school programs will require daily attendance between 9am and 3pm with 1 hour for lunch. Daily attendance will always consist of 5 hours of instruction.

If students are having difficulty fulfilling this expectation they are to notify the teacher(s) at the Adults in Motion School to make other arrangements. The student will be removed from the school’s register should they not submit any assignments or contact the school after six weeks of registration. See attendance policy.

For a safe and harmonious environment, we are all expected to:

  • Treat everyone with respect and accept authority
  • Exercise self-discipline and use appropriate conduct
  • Deal with conflict and anger in a socially responsible way
  • Use appropriate language
  • Accept the responsibilities of citizenship


As a student you are expected to:

  • Take responsibility for your own learning
  • Attend all classes and be punctual
  • Be prepared for work with appropriate materials
  • Complete all assignments and homework on time

Attendance

Regular attendance at school is critical for the student’s learning and achievement of course expectations.
