Parents and school-based supervisors can use the following documents which have proved useful in supporting students to become more organised and effective.

  • Overview

    Fast Track to SIDE provides an overview of online learning and key strategies to assist students.

    Read Fast Track to SIDE to find out more about:

    • setting up a space for students to work
    • IT requirements for SIDE students
    • online learning at SIDE
    • self-organising ideas.
  • Set Up a Weekly SIDE Timetable

    A timetable is essential for home and school-based students.

    Students should build their timetables considering:

    • SIDE Webex lessons

    • student’s most productive time

  • Due Dates Calendar

    A composite Due Dates Calendar assists students to submit required work on time.

    Each SIDE teacher provides a Course and Assessment Outline (and a Due Date Calendar) in the Moodle course. Where students study several subjects or courses they should create an overview of all the due work across the semester.

    Note: Due dates may change and students should adjust their calendar accordingly.

    Year 11-12 Due Date Calendars

    Year 11 and 12 requirements vary. A blank calendar allows students to complete their individual due date. Supervisors should assist the student to transfer dates for work completion into the composite calendar and assist in monitoring work completion.

    Year 11/12 Blank Composite Due Date Calendar

    Year 7-10 Due Date Calendars for Semester 2

    SIDE Student Services has part-completed the due dates for five subjects (English, HaSS, Maths, Science and Health) on these composite calendars. Supervisors should assist the student to transfer work due dates for other subjects and monitor work completion.

    Parent Supervisor Information and FAQ

    • Introducing the School-Based Supervisor role

      School-based supervisors are assigned by schools to support their students’ success in their SIDE study programs. SIDE teachers teach the students through online learning.

      School supervisors:

      • actively communicate with the SIDE Regional Coordinator and teachers
      • support SIDE students with their day-to-day studies including attending online lessons
      • ensure students complete their completed work according to SIDE course and assessment guidelines
      • where applicable supervise assessments, tests and exams.

      The workload will depend on factors such as: the number of students, year levels, geographic location, number of subjects/courses selected and whether SIDE provides some or all of the student program.

      Learning at SIDE

      SIDE’s timetable is structured around 40-minute periods. While schools have some capacity to request the best fit for their own timetables during the September – December timetabling period, the timetable reflects SIDE’s own timetabling constraints.

      SIDE teachers are in regular communication with schools and students.

      SIDE uses two main platforms for teaching and learning.

      • Webex is the SIDE platform for live, online lessons. Two Webex lessons per week are timetabled for many SIDE subjects/courses.
      • Moodle is SIDE’s 24/7 learning management system where students complete work independently, under the direction and guidance of their teachers.
    • Organising to be an effective SIDE supervisor

      School-based supervisors and students receive lots of SIDE communication by email, Moodle announcements and phone. Setting up your own way of organising these communications makes it easier to support students.

      Some tips:

      • If you are new to SIDE supervision read Fast Track to SIDE to find out more.
      • Check your emails regularly, at least twice daily.
      • Store emails so that you can find them, eg in folders by student name.
      • Consider keeping a diary for important details in each week, eg student due dates, problems with IT, etc.
      • Display student timetables indicating Webex lesson times and other times spent in subject/course work eg in Moodle, completing tasks, etc.
      • Make sure the SIDE Regional Coordinator has your phone number and knows when you are available for calls.
    • Getting students started with SIDE

      SIDE Website is the best source of information.

      • Contact the SIDE Regional Coordinator. They will usually contact you, however their details can be found at HELP & RESOURCES > SECONDARY 7-12 SUPPORT
      • Confirm that students from your school are enrolled with SIDE, their subjects/courses and their SIDE timetabled lesson times. Lesson times are available on the SIDE website > 2025 TIMETABLE OPTIONS
      • Ensure that students have access to a quiet and well-equipped learning environment including a workspace and suitable IT.
      • Go to HELP & RESOURCES > LEARNING ONLINE > TROUBLESHOOT on the SIDE website for ICT assistance. If necessary, escalate issues you cannot sort out to the relevant level eg school IT support, Department of Education Help Desk.

      Students new to SIDE

      • Refer to the information under the tab.
      • Ensure students activate their Moodle account by logging in once (follow instructions under HELP & RESOURCES >SUPPORT RESOURCES > STARTING AT SIDE). To log in, they require their Department of Education (DoE) username and password.
      • Once students have activated their Moodle account, students will automatically be enrolled in an orientation course called SIDE Launchpad. As soon as students have been allocated to a teacher and have an active Moodle account, students will be added to their relevant subject courses and/or classrooms.
      • If required ensure students have purchased texts and/or received materials from SIDE Dispatch.

      Student personal organisation

      Assist students to:

      • make a list of SIDE contacts including phone numbers and email addresses
      • create a composite Due Dates Calendar and double check these against the assessment dates provided in Moodle
      • create their own timetable reflecting their SIDE timetable and their school timetable.

      Resources to assist with student organisation can be downloaded from the next tab SUPPORTING STUDENT ORGANISATION.

    • Keeping students connected at SIDE

      Daily

      • Contact the Regional Coordinator about all student absences and ask them to advise SIDE teachers know.
      • Monitor student participation, especially attendance at Webex lessons and use of Moodle.

      Weekly

      • Start of week – review with students work due during the week, changes in due dates, reminders, etc.
      • Check students have written this information in their school diary.
      • Encourage students to maintain contact with teachers especially if they have problems.
      • Identify issues that may impact on student performance and discuss these with the Regional Coordinator.
      • Use a whiteboard for timetables or date due reminders.
      • Communicate with parents as appropriate.

The role of a SIDE Regional Coordinator

Regional Coordinators are a key SIDE contact for students, parents and SIDE Supervisors. They oversee the general progress and welfare of students by:

  • monitoring students progress and welfare
  • facilitating regular and frequent communication between the student, SIDE Supervisor and SIDE teachers
  • providing advice and support to parents/guardians and SIDE Supervisors to further student success
  • providing career and further education information
  • providing support with study techniques
  • offering counselling and pastoral care to students
  • referring students, on a needs basis, to the school psychologists and other agencies.

Regional Coordinators and teachers visit students where possible. Students are also encouraged to visit SIDE to meet and work with teachers. Discuss this with your Regional Coordinator.
