NAPLAN

Years 7 and 9 will be undertaking NAPLAN in week 3 – all students should have the Lockdown browser installed but if for any reason they do not have this they need to see Mr Robinson urgently.

They also need earphones and a full charged device each day.

If there are any concerns about NAPLAN contact Mr Andrew Fouracre (Director of Studies) at Andrew.fouracre@cg.catholic.edu.au

ASSESSMENT AND LEARNING HANDBOOKS

These are available on the College website and Hennessy Student Drive under Assessment and Forms.

It is vital all students are aware of policies relating to assessment. This especially relates to:

• Illness/Misadventure
• Procedures when absent
• Extensions
• Appeals
• Penalties for not following the correct procedure.

Students not following the correct procedures may find that they have incurred a penalty of the loss of all marks for a task or a Warning Letter. These have been posted to Compass several times as well as listed on classroom House pages. If in any doubt, students should always see their class teacher first and before tasks are due to ensure they are aware of what is permissible. However, I must approve all extensions, Illness/Misadventure applications and Appeals. The protocols and procedures are to ensure equity for all students.
