IB final week schedules usually follow the same block structure as the national side unless otherwise stated. However, sometimes there are changes in the schedule and in those cases the IB students will be provided with separate exam week schedules. The MOCK exam schedules are different from this schedule altogether. Absence from a course or MOCK exam is allowed only if the student can provide a doctor s or nurse s certificate or other valid documentation as an explanation. Exam return sessions are 10 minutes long and are in the same room as the exam was. Specified IB exam return day schedules will be announced later for 13K and 14K students. 7

8 PROGRAMME FOR THE FIRST DAY OF EACH PERIOD The first day of each period begins according to the schedule of that period. The teacher will provide necessary information about the contents and the assessment of the course. The students should have textbooks with them already on the first lesson. RETAKE EXAMS IB students may retake their school IB exams during these dates if they can provide a doctor s or nurse s certificate or other valid documentation as an explanation. If the schedule does not allow this (eg the exam is longer than the retake exam time) the student should make separate arrangements with the teacher. Written registration for school s retake exams is binding and it should be returned to the school office according to the following schedule. Forms can be found at the front of the school office and from school s web page.

Mon and Tue Tue and Wed Tue and Wed Tue and Wed Mon and Wed (outside regular lessons) (outside regular lessons) (outside regular lessons) (outside regular lessons) (outside regular lessons) RELLU ETIQUETTE To improve Rellu students time at the school, and to improve working conditions, it is important to remember that all vehicles should be parked in the appropriate places and emergency routes must be left open. Unfortunately, there is no parking space in the school yard for students cars or moped cars. by arriving on time for lessons you show consideration for other people. by greeting one another politely you are taking other students and school staff into account while at school. school is a public place so behave considerately in corridors and rest areas. technical equipment (such as mobile phones or computers) are allowed in lessons only for study purposes. you should take care of tidiness everywhere on the school premises including corridors, toilets and classrooms. This means, for example, that you do not bring your outdoor clothes into the classrooms. For reasons of hygiene, bags should not be placed on desks in the classroom. 8

9 you should go to the school canteen calmly without outdoor clothing and bags. Leave the table tidy and return the dishes in the appropriate place. Remember to say thank you for the meal. you should try to eat or visit the toilet during the breaks; lesson time is for studying. during exams all technical equipment should be placed in your bag which you leave at the front of the classroom or in a place indicated by the teacher. when gathering in the main hall for an important event, you should show respect towards those who are performing. This means focusing your attention on the performers even when there is a break between performances. Using mobile phones or tablets is unacceptable on these occasions. the lift is reserved only for those who are injured, physically disabled or delivering goods. Permits are available from the school office. Good manners benefit all the students in Rellu. Show politeness, not only in school, but also on buses, on public roads, and in the local shops. CHOOSING COURSES IN THE NON-GRADED HIGH SCHOOL The selection of courses can be seen online: Each student will receive a username and a password, which will enable them to select courses. Changes to course choices should be made two weeks before the beginning of the new period, at the very latest. Then the web pages with the selections will be closed. These pages will re-open after the exam return day. Students can check their choices during the academic year according to the following schedule: Choices for the 1 st period LATEST Choices for the 2 nd period LATEST Choices for the 3 rd period LATEST Choices for the 4 th period LATEST Choices for the 5 th period LATEST Students should check their course selections in good time, because there may be changes to the course selection. For example, there may be new parallel groups, some courses might be cancelled, or they might be moved to another period. UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL COURSES AND ASSESSMENT Teachers can only assess a course when the requirements of the evaluation have been fulfilled. Students must participate in lessons in addition to showing proof of their achievements. Grade 4 also requires that the assessment requirements are fulfilled. Those requirements include, among other things, being present during the lessons, participating in class, completing the course tasks and the final exam. If the student has been absent for many lessons or has failed to achieve an essential course task, the student will not be allowed to take part to the course exam and they will not be graded. At the beginning of the course students will be told which tasks have to be completed in order to be assessed. If course requirements are only partially fulfilled (e.g. because of absences or incomplete tasks), this will affect the course grade. Therefore, assessment is not only based on the results of the final exams. See also Clarifying and monitoring absences. 9

10 Students with special needs Special arrangements can be made depending on a student s needs. Extra time, partly or completely different exam tasks, and texts with clarifying vocabulary may be offered. However, the assessment process must provide the student with a realistic picture of their progress. The special needs teacher will participate in the assessment process when required. Academic dishonesty Cheating or trying to cheat in exams will automatically lead to suspension from the course. When working independently on tasks such as essays or presentations, plagiarism will result in students failing the course completely or partly. Guardians will be informed about cases of cheating. Appeals about assessment If students feel they have been incorrectly assessed, they should first contact the teacher responsible for the course. If the issue is not resolved, it is possible to contact the principal, who will discuss the issue with both parties. If the student is still dissatisfied with the assessment, they have two months in which to request a reappraisal of the verdict. This request is made to the principal. If the student is not satisfied with the outcome, they can appeal to the Regional State Administrative Agencies. Retaking a failed course Students who have taken part in the lessons are allowed to participate in the retake exam. Reasons for retaking exams include: receiving a grade 4 for a course, illness (a sick leave note from a doctor or a nurse must be provided) or not completing course assessment for an acceptable reason. Students can take part in the retake exam only once, and must enrol in writing. Enrolment is binding. If a student does not attend the exam and has not cancelled their enrolment, the right to the retake is cancelled. An enrolment form is available from the pigeonhole in front of the school office. Once completed, the form should be returned to the post box on the third floor corridor. Enrolment times and retake exam times are announced in this guide. Raising grades A student can try to raise a grade by repeating the course and attending the lessons. The final course grade will be whichever grade is higher the earlier or the later grade. Independent study According to the General Upper Secondary Schools Decree, part of the study programme may be studied independently. It is important to give students opportunities to participate in courses without attending lessons. The student should make a written plan of the independent studies with their teacher before beginning the course. This plan should determine study methods as well as the timetable. The principal will then discuss the plan with the subject teacher before granting permission to pursue the course. Courses listed in the internet course selection are intended to be studied online. The aims of independently studied courses are the same as those of classroom courses. The assessment criteria may differ depending on how the course is carried out. The teacher will explain the assessment criteria when designing the independent course. The forms for independent courses are available from the pigeonhole in front of the school office and from Wilma. The form should be returned to the third-floor post box. 10

11 In addition to evaluation with numbers, the following letters are also used: K = an abandoned course It is not possible to complete an abandoned course; it has to be studied again. T = an incomplete course all missing work has to be completed by the second retake exam day in the following period. a grade T may be given if the student needs to complete course tasks the student has attended the course, but not the course exam the student has unexplained absences. Please let the course teacher know when your absences have been explained in Wilma. Applied courses can be assessed with following marks: H = fail S = pass A course which has been abandoned (K) or failed (H) is not included in the total number of courses. A course which is passed with a grade (4) will be accepted into the total if the requirements of the syllabus are fulfilled. ABSENCES AND LATE ARRIVALS A course may be regarded as uncompleted if there are too many absences. In such a situation, the teacher must warn the student that they risk not completing the course. Frequent absences may also affect grades. Absence from a course exam is only acceptable when the student provides a certificate from a doctor or a nurse. Such certificates are available from the school nurse and local health centres. In cases of serious illness, or when a visit to the health centre is especially difficult, a guardian can ask the principal for permission for a student to be absent. If the principal or the vice principal cannot be reached, the group teacher can give this permission). The same procedure applies to retake exams. In order to retake an exam, the student must be present in their normal lessons during the day of the retake. The lessons start according to the school timetable. Late arrivals are always marked on Wilma. Teachers will allow students into the classroom at the start of a lesson and again after the first 20 minutes. If students require a leave of absence for a particular reason, their guardians should apply using the form posted on Wilma. Leave of absence should be requested well in advance. MORNING OPENINGS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS According to the General Upper Secondary Schools Decree the working day begins with a short morning opening. Morning openings are broadcast via the PA system on Mondays and Thursdays at On other days the teacher will conduct the morning opening in the classroom at the beginning of the lesson which starts at The themes of morning openings support the school s educational aims. Staff and students can make announcements at this time. Both morning openings and announcements should be listened to by everyone working at the school. Another time for PA announcements is There are no morning openings or announcements during exam weeks, IB exams or the matriculation exams. 11

12 On Thursdays the Lutheran church and other organisations with a specific worldview deliver the morning opening. Students who prefer not to hear such morning openings because of personal beliefs can indicate this preference via a link on Wilma at the beginning of the year. An alternative classroom will then be organised for them during the morning opening. INFORMATION CHANNELS Teachers addresses are as follows: firstname.lastname@tampere.fi. Communication between teachers and students is conducted via Wilma. WILMA Wilma is the web version of Rellu s administrative program, and students should check it daily.

ELECTRONIC WORKING ENVIRONMENT STUDENTS PERSONAL COMPUTERS AND THE SCHOOL NETWORK School lessons may use electronic learning platforms and materials, as well as special programmes, internet materials and the services of social media. In their studies students may use their own laptops, tablets and smart phones. If required the students can borrow the equipment from the school for one period or for one school year. Using computers for leisure or non-school purposes may disrupt concentration in lessons and is therefore forbidden. You can sign into the wireless network Wireless Tampere using your school username and password.

Sign into the school computers with your school s username and password. Electronic services and programmes The school s main information channel is Wilma. On Wilma students can find timetables and upto-date information. The Moodle learning platform will be used in a number of courses. The cloud service Office 365 offers unlimited storage place as well as an inbox. The TOKI library network allows students to access many electronic resources such as dictionaries and newspaper archives. 13

14 The most important electric services can be accessed with an internet browser. Students of Tampere upper secondary schools can install the free Microsoft Office 365 software onto their computers (see instructions below). In addition, the school recommends open source programmes, such as LibreOffice, which is available for free and is also accepted in the Finnish matriculation examination. Programmes accepted by the Finnish Matriculation Examination Board can be found on the internet pages of the Digabi project: Teachers will give further information about programmes that need to be purchased. Wilma Wilma is the user interface of the administrative programme for students and their guardians. Wilma displays course selections, course grades, instant messages and school bulletins, as well as student absences. Guardians explain reasons for student absences on Wilma. Both students and guardians can use Wilma to send instant messages to teachers. Important weekly information given in group meetings is posted in Wilma, so it should be checked regularly. Sign in to Wilma using (edu network) username and password. Guardians will receive their username and password by post. They will have access to Wilma until the student is eighteen.

16 be changed at least every six months. They must be at least 8 characters long and include both small and capital letters and numbers. Changing the school password Changing the Wilma (edu network) password COPYRIGHT ISSUES Using source material in written tasks High school students will undertake many kinds of written tasks including essays, summaries, reviews of books and films, portfolios and presentations. Sometimes these assignments make use of reference materials, and sometimes they rely entirely on the student s own ideas. The approach required for a task should be clarified by the teacher. Copyright law regulates the use of source materials (Tekijänoikeuslaki /404). Quoting According to copyright law, text may be borrowed word for word from a published book. A quote must be clearly marked in inverted commas and the source must also be mentioned. There should be a good reason for quoting and the quote should be closely related to the subject. Summarising Source materials are often used in summary form. Here the original text is condensed and explained in the student s own words. This way of using a source must be indicated to the reader through a reference. This is also the case with internet sources. Visual material Copyright law also regulates the use of all types of images such as photographs, drawings, tables and charts. The rights of usage are case-specific and must be checked separately from the source material. The easiest way to use materials is with the Creative Commons license which gives an outline of the relevant rights (see 16

17 Plagiarism Plagiarism means that another person s thoughts or ideas are used as one s own without mentioning the source when quoting or summarising. This is dishonest; the sources must be mentioned in the way previously outlined. A student s work which is partly or completely copied will be failed. The internet The same copyright rules apply also when using internet resources. Do not borrow or copy anything without giving the source. Some materials cannot be used at all.

There are two lunch periods during the day: and If students have special dietary needs they can obtain a certificate from the school nurse verifying this. The students are allowed to eat at school as long as they have classes. After the last year students have finished their daily studies, they can have lunch at school only if they have exams or preparatory tests immediately before or after the lunch period. LIBRARY The school s international library and study room are located on the 3rd floor by the IB coordinator s office. They are open daily from In the reference library we have books that meant to be used at school only. Also the newspapers and magazines are meant to be read only at school. The reference library also contains music listening chair, computers and a printer. This room is meant to be silent for the purpose of studying and for work that requires concentration. The books in the back room can be loaned for six weeks. The process of making these loans is automatic and the training on how to use of the loan machine is given at the beginning of school year. GYM A small gym is located in the basement. If you wish to use it, contact the PE teachers. CAFETERIA The cafeteria is located on the 2nd floor. It has machines where you can purchase drinks, coffee and snacks. Piano can be found form the cafeteria, too. Daily copy of the Aamulehti is available there. Form groups and clubs may organize their own events in the cafeteria. The student body will distribute the turns and the groups decide with their form teacher or supervisor what type of event they want to organize. Cafeteria area is a central meeting place for the students. LOCKERS Each student may obtain a personal locker. The janitor provides the key for the locker. By the time when the final exams are over, the student must return the key to the janitor. In case of losing or not returning the key the school will charge 30 in compensation. 17

18 FEE FOR MATERIALS The first year students will pay at the beginning of the school year a materials fee of 25. This payment covers all the years in Rellu. It contains KU1-course materials and concept papers for essays and exams. Other possible course payments will be collected separately COPY ROOM The photocopiers are in the janitor s office on the first floor. Copies related to studies may be taken here for free provided that the student has a note from their teacher to certify that the copies are for studies. Personal copies cost 20 cents per a black and white copy and 40 cents per a colour copy. GUIDANCE FOR STUDENTS IB COORDINATOR The responsibility of the IB coordinator is to make sure that the IB programme is completed in accordance with the IB regulations. These are stated in the IB Handbook. The IB coordinator also handles the registration of students for the final exams and ensures that the final exams are completed in the manner that the IB requires. The IB coordinator also acts as a liaison between the school and the IB organisation. The IB subject changes are always made with the IB coordinator. If you want to talk to the IB coordinator for a longer period, make an appointment e.g. through . For brief matters you can come without any prior notice. GUIDANCE COUNSELLOR The guidance counsellor advises student on matters concerning their studies in general and also on issues concerning their future studies. If you wish to talk to the guidance counsellor for a longer period, please make an appointment. For quick questions, however, you do not need to give any notice. Since there are so few lessons with the guidance counsellor, students should be active they have any questions concerning their future studies. Discussions with the guidance counsellor are confidential. Parents or guardians may also contact the guidance counsellor if they wish to discuss a student s future studies. The guidance counsellor s offices and notice boards are on the second floor. Seppo Linnaranta is the IB Guidance Counsellor for the school year FORM TEACHER monitors students studies helps those students who have low grades: advises students and directs them to the guidance counsellor or IB coordinator when necessary acts as liaison between the student and school office takes feedback from the students Form teacher interviews all the students during the first grade and second grade and may also call up a student for a meeting if needed. Each group selects two trustees amongst themselves and these act as aides to the group supervisor. Group meetings are vital for passing on information to students. Each student must take part in those meetings. 18

19 SUBJECT TEACHER Subject teachers are expert in their own subjects and therefore monitor the performance of the students. They offer advice to students in matters concerning their own subjects. Subject teachers have to ensure that students attend classes regularly and offer explanations for any absences. If there are more than five unexplained absences during one period then the subject teacher informs the group supervisor.
