New Students/ Student Support Services

Induction and orientation session

Induction is important to us, and occurs on your first day. Look at a map on how to get to the Broadbeach Campus and the Clem Jones Centre. The best map to use is Google Maps, you can even type in your address and ours to be given directions! On your arrival at The Eagle Academy, you are taken through an Induction session / Orientation Program during which you are given useful information about the study program, local services and the facilities we use for your course. The Clem Jones Centre in Brisbane has 3 swimming pools, 2 tennis courts (with free tennis lessons twice a week), 2 group exercise rooms and classes, 5 basketball courts, a fully equipped gym, two dedicated classrooms and is renowned for its friendly service. The Broadbeach Campus is located on the Gold Coast which is our own private gym and aerobics classes, 5 dedicated classrooms and access to a small oval.

During the Orientation Program, you will then be taken on a tour of your venues for learning, and introduced to your teachers. You will also be directed to the nearest local shopping centre (about a 5 min walk) and point out the important services and help you to open a bank account if necessary. If you need help with anything at all, Induction is a good time to ask.

Staff will do their best to help you settle into your new environment, and assist you wherever possible. If you require the services of a professional counsellor or lawyer, they will access an appropriately qualified person for you to speak with (see below).

As part of your orientation, you will also be taken through this very important document you received before commencing:

Student Handbook (Parts 1 and 2). Many very important things will be discussed from the book.

WELFARE SERVICES

Students can access support by simply asking any staff member. If the staff member cannot assist, they will refer you to the Director who will endeavour to assist you in finding the service you require.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUPPORT

You may be required to sit assessment tests if you or the staff believes that you cannot cope with your course because of your English language ability. A meeting would then determine the best course of action. If your requirement is not as a result of a major shortfall in ability, you may be required to get English support (or you may choose it). If this is the case, we offer English Language support in tutorial sessions, or special sessions. Ask your trainer or the Campus Manager if you would like this assistance.

Student Handbook Part 1 (AUST) 120802 7

English Language/ Academic or Work Experience Requirements Students whose first language is not English will need an appropriate level of English to study our courses. Our entry requirements are outlined on the various course information sheets: *English Language Levels are equivalent to the NRS (National Reporting System) Levels of assessment. A student may present test results or education certificates as an indication of English proficiency, or assessment of a formal or informal manner may be undertaken by the Campus Manager. This may be a telephone interview, or simply based on the completion of the enrolment form. In some cases a test may be required at the Director’s discretion.

The requirements for each course vary, and students will complete the comprehensive ‘Application for Enrolment’ form and we will assess each application and supporting documentation on its merits. Potential students MUST advise the Director if they have not completed the equivalent of the Academic requirements of a course. Literacy support will be provided to students where necessary on a needs basis. COURSE CREDIT (Direct Credit)/ RECOGNITION of PRIOR LEARNING. Students can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning, or Direct Credit. This may reduce course time. Part 2 of the Student Handbook outlines the procedure to follow, and contains the necessary forms. MODE of STUDY. All courses are delivered face to face, distance education or a combination of both.

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT

Students are required to observe this standard of conduct. 1. As a student of The Eagle Academy you are expected to co-operate fully by taking the responsibility for your own

progress, through diligent preparation for, and participation in, all classes you attend. This requires showing concern for the needs of others to pursue their studies without interference, behaving appropriately at The Eagle Academy, or other places of study, and respecting the authority of all trainers and other members of staff.

2. The Eagle Academy requires sports appropriate clothing to be worn. 3. It is essential that students develop respect for themselves as individuals and as students of The Eagle Academy. The

Eagle Academy therefore requires you to conduct yourself at all times in a manner which will enhance the reputation of The Eagle Academy. Good manners and attitude are very important at The Eagle Academy. Staff expect a very high standard to be maintained. You are expected to act in a polite, responsible way, and follow proper directions from trainers. Offensive behaviour, including the use of bad language, physical violence, use of alcohol or illegal drugs, gambling, stealing, or causing injury to another, will not be tolerated.

4. Since real concern for others shows itself in the proper and thoughtful treatment of their property, you are expected to

gain permission to use other people’s property. This applies regardless of whether the property belongs to an individual, The Eagle Academy, or other bodies.

5. All students are expected to participate fully and responsibly in The Eagle Academy’s program. There is an expectation

of regular attendance, and full participation in activities.

Potential students must read the above document, and agree to uphold the rules of The Eagle Academy including the “Code of Conduct”.

Notional Time

Students may complete the courses at any time, should they be deemed competent in all units, as per the training package requirements. Due to the need for off the job lecture/tutorial sessions that are timetabled throughout the course in a sequential manner, it is most likely to take the full time to complete any course. There is a maximum time constraint of 12 months per course. Course Durations are listed earlier.

Academic Year

The year is divided into 20 week semesters, or 10 week terms (as study periods depending on the course being undertaken), with breaks (vacation periods) as follows: Easter: 2 weeks June/July: 2 weeks* September: 2 weeks Christmas Break: 6 weeks * In 2013, some courses will have a 3 week break The standard semester (two Terms) dates will be supplied to you separately. Because of two entry dates per term, students’ individual study periods conclude at 8 weeks (Certificate III) or 12 weeks (Certificate IV) tuition after commencement. There may be a possibility of varying some holiday weeks for certain students depending on start date and Certificate level. See the Campus Manager. There may be a charge for that service. The current Timetable follows at the end of this booklet, with an explanatory guide. Part 2 of this Booklet explains many of the policies and procedures you need to be aware of before enrolling. Be sure to read it carefully.
