TIP PROGRAM LEVEL 2 ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE

As a Level 2 TIP student, the School recognises you as an elite performer in your area of expertise who trains/rehearses more than 14 hours a week.  

PLC Sydney has the aim of providing support and avenues for each student to achieve in their chosen elite activity as well as to support students gain the best possible education and educational pathways for a future that may or may not include your current elite activity.  

We understand at the elite level of performance the demands of your activity may impact your ability to meet the academic expectations placed on all PLC Sydney students. Therefore PLC Sydney can provide our older Level 2 TIP students with the following assistance in maintaining a students’ academic standard.

Variation of Curriculum

Students in Year 9 and Year 10 and in Level 2 of the TIP Program may apply to only study two electives rather than three. The timetabled lessons for the third elective (or second language) will then become allocated independent study periods in the library.

This is an enormous privilege the school may give students in good faith that students need this extra study time and it helps them maintain a healthy balance with their demanding schedule. 

TIP library lessons are a normal timetabled lesson. Although there is no supervising teacher, it has been given for independent learning and study. Students are to arrive at the beginning of the lesson, sign in with the library staff, complete homework, assignments or study, and remain in the library for the duration of the lesson. 

If students are found breaking this agreement by either not turning up, leaving early, or even wasting time during this lesson, then this privilege can be revoked, students will need to take up a third elective (or second language), and deal with the School's disciplinary actions for truancy.

Students’ TIP level will be reviewed regularly.  If a student was to reduce their commitment to their elite activity and/or start to compete at a lower level, they will be required to take up a third elective (or second language) for the remainder of`that year.
