The English assessment policy is clearly printed on all notifications and states:
- If you know you will be absent on task due date it is your responsibility to see your classroom teacher and negotiate an alternate time to complete/submit your task before your absence.
- If you are absent on the day of an assessment task and you have a GENUINE reason for your absence you must submit an illness/misadventure form signed by
your parent/guardian to the HT English on your first day back at
school. Be prepared to complete/submit your task on your first day back. - If you are absent or do not make a genuine attempt at a task on the due date (and you do not have a genuine reason) you will receive a 10% penalty to your final result for every day the task is late(including weekends). A zero award will be recorded for not making a genuine attempt of an assessment task (following the penalty period).
- An N Award Warning Notification (Year 10) or Faculty Letter of Concern (Years 7-9) will be generated for failing to attempt a task.
- Students who plagiarise from other texts or the internet will
receive zero marks for the task.
