Parent and Student Handbook
2021-2022

The Parent and Student Handbook is published each year to provide our parents and students with a brief description of our policies and procedures to help them become more familiar with how the College operates, what our requirements are in certain key areas, how best to communicate with us and what to do if there is a question or concern. 

Grow. Discover. Dream.

The goal of the Higher Education Office (HEO) is to help every student to find a university or pathway that is the right ‘fit’ – one that suits them academically and socially. 

At Discovery College we recognise that all students are individuals in terms of their intellectual and physical abilities and their social and emotional needs. 

The purpose of assessment at Discovery College is to judge student achievement and to provide information on how to improve student learning. Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering evidence for and of learning. 

At different times during the year students leave us to move to schools around the world and need references or copies of their Discovery College transcripts. The person to contact for all requests for references or transcripts is the Vice Principal for your child’s year group, who will oversee the collection and collation of information from different staff members.

Homework will be provided when necessary to meaningfully support learning at school.
