9. Be equipped for learning
You need to show commitment to your learning by arriving at College every day with the correct equipment. All students need a bag, their planner, a pen, a pencil, a ruler, a scientific calculator and a reading book. Your P&A mentor will be checking every morning in P&A Time that you have everything you need and will lend you a pen or a pencil for that day. The Year Office will give you a spare planner page if you forget your planner. Missing equipment in a lesson = 1 behaviour point Equipment not returned to your P&A mentor = 1 behaviour point 3 behaviour points = 30 minute detention

If you ask again the same day the teacher will see that you have been and therefore will refuse you.
SO DON’T ASK IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Toilets should be used before school, at snack breaks and after school if needed.
