PROBATION PROCESSES

The Henley Sports Academy strives to maintain the highest standards of performance by the students involved across all areas of the curriculum, therefore we will work as a team, using a range of strategies to ensure that the students involved in the program meet these standards.  Students will be expected to meet the criteria and expectations outlined in the “Henley Sports Academy Expectation”  document that Student Athletes have signed when they enter the program.  If students are unable to fulfill these expectations they may be put on one of three probation process:

• Academic Probation
• Behavioral Probation
• Practical Probation

If students do not show acceptable improvement and meet the required expectations they may be removed from the program.  Students will have these processes explained to them by their Sports Academy teacher.

ANNUAL FEES

As participation in the Henley High Schools Sports Academy is voluntary, not all costs will be covered within the budget. An annual fee is set by the Henley High School Governing Council and contributes to costs associated with the academy and covers items such as guest speakers, specialist coaches, transport and equipment. The annual fees are reviewed annually and parents will be informed of any changes. Some excursions will incur additional costs, especially where accommodation and transport are required. Parents will be given advanced notice of excursions to assist with planning and budgeting.

The annual fees:

• Henley High School Year 7 – 11 students - $450 per year
• Henley High School Year 12 students - $350 per year
• Henley High School Year 8 – 11 students Semester 2 - $350
• International students - $125 per term

A student who withdraws from the Henley Sports Academy will need to discuss this decision with the Assistant Principal Director for Sport. If they are withdrawn or removed from the Academy after week 5, term 1 they will be still required to pay the full annual fee.

UNIFORM

All students are required to purchase a Henley Sports Academy Uniform as part of them accepting their position in the academy.
