ROSEHILL COLLEGE JUNIOR ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

Students in Years 9 & 10 must follow these procedures for all summative assessments.

Absence Procedures

1. Absence which is beyond the control of the student must be explained in a note from the parent or guardian to the teacher concerned either on or before the day of an assessment event or due date. In extreme circumstances this may not be possible, in which case, this must happen the day the student returns to school.

2. Such an absence will be either an illness or bereavement. Absence for activities such as going for a driver’s licence, an appointment with the dentist or on holiday are considered within a student’s control

Late Work Procedures

1. A student seeking an extension beyond the deadline specified on the assessment task must do so prior to the deadline.

2. This extension must be sought from the subject teacher in writing.

3. Generally, an extension will only be granted when the reason for lateness is beyond the control of the student.

4. Work that is handed in after the deadline specified on the assessment task without permission, will not be eligible for assessment.

Appeal Procedures

1. A classroom teacher will give students the opportunity to check the marking of an assessment when it is handed back.

2. Either party may refer a dispute about the marking of an assessment to the teacher in charge of the course and/or the HOD within 7 school days.

3. Either party may refer an unresolved dispute about the marking of an assessment to senior management, who will make the final decision.
