and has multiple purposes. Assessment can enhance student Students are responsible for:

• submitting all tasks on or before the due date
• evidence that current understanding is a suitable basis for future
learning. • being present for all in class assessment tasks and examinations
• understanding this document
Gathered evidence is used by teachers for assessment of learning to rank
or grade students. This usually takes place at key points in the learning To help meet these responsibilities each student will have access to:
cycle. Students receive reports identifying the levels of skill, knowledge
and understanding they have achieved. • an assessment schedule and course requirements for each course
• at least two weeks notification that an assessment task will take
place or be due on a particular date
• feedback on each assessment task as soon as possible
• a Mid-Course and Yearly Report, which will indicate to them, their
level of success in attaining the outcomes of each course, as
required by the Board of Studies

work.
Malpractice is any activity undertaken by a student that allows them to
gain an unfair advantage over others. It includes, but is not limited to:
Referencing generally has two key elements:
• copying someone else’s work in part or wholly, and presenting it as

Where malpractice is detected a zero will be given for the task. The school
