Expectations of STEP Students
Upon commencement at Southbank Institute STEP students will be required to attend orientation with all other students. Orientation information and dates will be sent to STEP students once their enrolment has been confirmed.
STEP students will be required to be on campus at Southbank Institute one day per week for between 3 and 5 hours during semesters 1 to 3. However, in semester 4, students will be required on campus one day per week for up to 7 hours.
There are some Diploma programs that require further training or vocational placement during the school holidays. For example, a student studying the Diploma of Fitness, will be required to work in the Southbank gym for between 7 and 10 hours at the end of each semester break. Please refer to your STEP Diploma brochure for more information.
STEP students will be required to attend all classes stated in their chosen Diploma over years 11 and 12 and will integrate into classes with other Southbank students. They will be required to arrive on time for all classes and act appropriately whilst on campus as per Southbank Institute of Technology's code of conduct.
STEP students may on occasion need to wear protective clothing or workplace uniforms whilst on campus. Otherwise, Southbank Institute promotes that students wear suitable everyday attire when on campus, as part of their STEP experience.
STEP students will not be permitted to remain on campus after 4:30pm on any day, except
- where the student's school has made prior arrangements with Southbank Institute to provide the appropriate supervision of the student; or
- where the student's Parent or Guardian has provided their school with written consent.
Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the school, Parent/Guardian and student to ensure the student has appropriate and safe transport arrangements to and from Southbank Institute of Technology, or other training venues required as part of their STEP experience.
