📋 Class Policies
📌 Attendance Requirements
Minimum 70% Attendance Required to pass the course
This isn't just a rule—we want to see you and code together! Your presence matters for group learning, collaboration, and making the most of your vocational education.
- Regular attendance builds professional habits
- You'll miss key concepts and peer collaboration if absent
- Team dynamics and group projects depend on your participation
⏱️ Lateness & Early Departures
Lateness is okay if there's a valid reason
We understand life happens. Just keep us in the loop:
- Text Tim to let him know if you'll be late
- Provide a reason (traffic, personal issue, etc.)
- Aim to catch up on missed content
Early Departures
If you need to leave early, get approval from the trainer first. Only trainers can dismiss class early.

💡 Pro Tips for Success
- Arrive on time: Missing the first 10 minutes means missing typing test practice and attendance
- Stay engaged: Typing test is not just a warm-up; it builds professional speed for real-world work
- Use breaks strategically: Don't skip breaks or work through them; your brain needs rest to absorb information
- Lunch is sacred: Step away from code during lunch. You'll come back refreshed and creative
- Ask questions: If you don't understand something, ask immediately. Don't let confusion build
- Collaborate: Pair programming and peer learning is encouraged. You learn better together
- Document your code: Comments help you remember your logic and help others understand your work
- Keep your workspace clean: Leave the classroom as you'd like to find it for the next class
- If you'll be late or absent: Text Tim or your trainer for the day at 0414 265 050 before class starts
- Communication: No posting - questions go to group chat (be constructive)
🆘 If Issues Arise During Class
💻 Technical Problem
If your code won't run or you're stuck on a bug, raise your hand immediately. Tim or your trainer for the day or a classmate can help you debug.
😟 Personal Issue
If you're feeling unwell or need to step out, let Tim or your trainer for the day know. We can work out accommodations.
🚨 Emergency
If there's a medical or safety emergency, call 000 immediately, then notify Tim or your trainer for the day.
