CODE OF PRACTICE

As part of our Code Of Practice, students enjoy the benefits of a faculty dedicated to the welfare and education of each student, an established process for the resolution of grievances and generally accepted safe dance practice, regardless of culture, gender, location, sexuality or age. All students have the right to education in an environment free of discrimination, harassment and injustice.

LANGUAGE, LITERACY & NUMERACY ASSESSMENT

Lecturers deliver courses at a level of complexity comparable with the workplace and incorporate materials, resources and assessment tasks consistent with achieving this. Accordingly, the standard of literacy and numeracy skills incorporated in the delivery and assessment of the courses are relevant to both the course and the workplace.
