Presentation of work There should be no graffiti anywhere in your work Students should write in black pen and draw diagrams and graphs
with pencil Pages should not be ripped out of your exercise books or folders Each new piece of work should have a title and date underlined
with a ruler Loose sheets should be stapled in at the appropriate place Any mistakes should be crossed out using a line through the
incorrect piece of work At the end of each piece of work, a line should be drawn with a
ruler and the next piece of work should begin underneath the line All pages should be used - you must not leave blank pages Any rough work should be done in the back of your book or folder,
unless an integral part of the work in progress
Presentation of work
STANDARDS: To promote high standards of presentation RESPONSIBILITY: To encourage students to become more independent by understanding that they have a responsibility for taking care with their work OPPORTUNITY: To help students to realise that having high standards for simple things such as presentation of work can lead to improved opportunities in later life FOR ALL: To support each other through all applying expectations consistently

Fail to prepare and you must prepare to fail
When to let go
The world is run by those
who show up.
