YEAR 11 & YEAR 12  ASSESSMENT TASKS

We are now starting to see lots of Assessment Tasks coming in for our Year 11 & Year 12 students. Just a few reminders about expectations around Assessment Tasks; 

• Should a student be absent on the day of an Assessment Task - a parent/caregiver must call the College prior to 8:45am advising the reason for their absence
• On the student's return, they must complete an illness/misadventure form and attach any supporting documentation - this must be submitted to Mrs McInerney
• Should the task that the student was completing be an unseen task - they will be issued an alternative task still meeting the same outcomes
• Partial absences - on the day of Assessment Tasks - students are expected to be present for the whole day - should a task be an in-class task and they are not present prior to that task without explanation they may receive zero for that task

The Stage 6 Assessment Policy is available for all students/parents/caregivers to view. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

This week, I had the pleasure of quickly dropping by the Oval and seeing the Year 9/10 PASS completely engaged in a game of intense Gridiron. There was high levels of engagement, competition and amazing sportsmanship.
