MODES OF STUDY AND ASSESSMENT

Students at the College engage in learning through a diverse range of classroom activities at which attendance each day is compulsory, including when lessons are conducted online. Students will complete set homework and assessment tasks specific to each subject and appropriate to the year level. There is a clearly identified communication process for discussing student performance with parents. The systematic monitoring of student progress is implemented by the classroom teacher and specialist staff within the support teams. In the Junior School the Head of School works collaboratively with the teachers to maintain oversight of all students’ performance at an individual level. Intervention strategies and procedures for students at risk are in place. Years 7 to 12 Students in the Secondary School also undertake examinations for subjects according to the requirements of each course. Students will often be asked to complete homework and assignments using technology as one of the research tools. Students are required to maintain sound achievement in every subject. School reports are issued each semester and are monitored by the College. Any student who fails to maintain sound progress and/or is frequently absent from school without a medical certificate will be required to explain the apparent lack of progress or lack of attendance record.
