Attendance in Year 11 and 12
Redeemer prioritizes the academic studies of all students. Absences may significantly impact your academic progress and potentially impact other students. Attendance during the senior years is critical to your success. Although you have access to course information on MyRedeemer, your teacher really is your best resource. It’s also important to remember that course units do not align with terms or semesters. This means you can no longer assume that the last week(s) of the term will be the end of the unit. Quite often, Units in Years 11 and 12 will straddle holidays.
Don’t schedule family holidays during term time. Any absence during the school term (including beginning of term and end of term), in Years 10, 11 and 12 will not be approved, other than for illness or bereavement. It is also important to remember that planned absences mean exams and tasks need to be completed before you are absent. For more information, speak with the Head of Senior School and / or the Director of Teaching and Learning.
