Home Tuition Service

Overview

Students unable to attend school from Year 1 to Year 11 for at least three consecutive weeks due to illness, medical condition (if it is not contagious) or injury can be referred for home tuition service. Students are provided with a compensatory educational service which aims to minimise the effect of absence from school by, providing continued education in Maths, English, and Maltese. Referrals require medical certificates, and coordination between school and Home Tuition teachers is important to ensure smooth reintegration.
