Drafting is an integral part of the assessment process and it is an expectation that every draft will be a well-advanced piece of work. Late, non-submission or inadequate submission will result in an academic detention to provide the student with time to complete the work to a satisfactory standard and enable the teacher to provide essential feedback.

Second Assignment not submitted for that year » Same arrangements as for late submission/non submission » The Director of Studies will interview the boy before contacting his parents

Third Assignment not submitted for that year » The Director of Studies and the Deputy Headmaster will interview the boy with his parents.

Continual inability to submit work on time » The Headmaster will interview the boy with his parents.

Academic Honesty, Plagiarism and File Sharing

In writing an assignment, report or essay, a student must identify all quotations, ideas and paraphrased comments; that is, an acknowledgment of all information that is not the student’s. Non acknowledgment is plagiarising, which is stealing someone else’s words and ideas. Plagiarism also involves artistic or design ideas. To ensure a greater respect for academic honesty, the School asks boys to sign a Declaration of Authenticity which accompanies each assignment. Students should be aware that submission of an assignment that includes plagiarised content (whether in whole or in part) is a serious offence. The sharing of an electronic file which contains part or all of an assessment item which is not a collaborative task is classified as plagiarism. The student providing the file is implicit in the plagiarism and will receive consequences for his actions. Academic consequences will usually involve grading only the original portion of text against the task criteria. Other consequences may include Friday or Saturday detentions.

Year 11 students will complete the QCAA Academic Integrity Course.
