Assessment Policies
Parents and students are reminded to please be aware of assessment policies and procedures. Stage 6 students are reminded that if you are absent the day before an assessment task, you must complete an Illness/Misadventure Form and provide a medical certificate or misadventure explanation. If you are absent on the day of a task, Illness Misadventure documentation and a medical certificate must be received within 3 days from the date of the task. For hand-in tasks or online submissions, every effort must be made to submit on the due date. Policies are in place to ensure equity for all students and are in accordance with NESA regulations and we again ask that all students familiarise themselves with the Illness/Misadventure procedure. This information for all year groups is available on the left sidebar of this newsletter and on the school website. All Stage 6 Illness/Misadventure is handled by the Curriculum Office and students are to speak with either Miss Janson or Mrs Corradini if they require Illness/Misadventure.
