ASSESSMENT, WORK REQUIREMENTS AND DEADLINES 

The following guidelines apply to assessment and deadlines for all electives:

• Class teachers will set clear due dates and deadline dates, with sufficient time to complete tasks.

• A due date is the time by which a piece of work must be submitted for a graded assessment

• A deadline date is the time by which a piece of work must be submitted to be considered for a pass.

• There will be no automatic granting of extensions.

• Students are able to re-submit inadequate work, if it is re-submitted before the deadline date.

• Late submissions after the due date will be ungraded and marked S (satisfactory) or N (unsatisfactory).

• Late submissions after deadline dates will be N (unsatisfactory).

• Students must record due dates and deadline dates in their student record book.
