Help with method/array lab

Question

I need some help creating an array of students in my lab, using a method. I'm fairly confused on how to do this. This is a sample of my code, i've deleted a lot of the stuff further down thats not needed atm.
Anyhow, I understand how arrays work and whatnot, but have no clue as to how to create the array in the method. Any help please! (The last few lines of posted code is where the array should go)
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
public class Lab6
    public static void main(String[] args)
        // Fill in the body according to the following comments
         Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
         // Input file name
     String fileName = getFileName(keyboard);
         // Input number of students
     int numberOfStudents = FileIOHelper.getNumberOfStudents(fileName);
         // Input all student records and create Student array and
     Student [] studentAry = new Student [numberOfStudents];
         // integer array for total scores
    // Given a Scanner in, this method prompts the user to enter
    // a file name, inputs it, and returns it.
    private static String getFileName(Scanner keyboard)
         String fileName;
     System.out.print("Enter input file name: ");
    fileName = keyboard.nextLine();
    return fileName;
    // Given the number of students records n to input, this
    // method creates an array of Student of the appropriate size,
    // reads n student records using the FileIOHelper, and stores
    // them in the array, and finally returns the Student array.
    private static Student[] getStudents(int n)
        // Fill in the body
    }

Answer 1

Oh btw, this is sample code givin to me by my professor that may help?
        // Copy a student from the file to the array
          Student aStudent = FileIOHelper.getNextStudent();
          studentAry[0] = aStudent;
          // Copy another student to the array
          aStudent = FileIOHelper.getNextStudent();
          studentAry[1] = aStudent;
          // Get student information from the array
          String name = studentAry[1].getName();
          int s1 = studentAry[1].getScore(1);
          int s2 = studentAry[1].getScore(2);
          int s3 = studentAry[1].getScore(3);
