Expectations of Students

Introduction

The Senior Sub School at Diamond Valley College includes Year 10 and the VCE/VCAL Years 11 and 12. Students enrolled in the Senior School are expected to display high standards of behaviour and due to their senior position in the school act as appropriate role models to junior students.

It is their responsibility:

  • To work constructively and purposefully in all classes
  • To be punctual to school and class
  • To complete all set work in the prescribed way by the due date
