Illness and Absences
 
Being away from school has much bigger consequences than it used to have.
 
If a student misses a test, exam or assignment that counts for credits it is not always able to be done at a new date.
 
Illness and other urgent matters can often be taken in to account.
The school's policy on Deadlines covers this: 
Deadlines are set for each internal assessment. 
They are very, very important. 
 
You cannot miss a deadline and expect to have your work assessed except in very special circumstances. 
1.       You can have an extension if you have been, or are, ill providing you have a doctor's certificate.
2.       You can have an extension if there are special circumstances that have prevented you from meeting the deadline. These circumstances will have to be unusual and will have to be accompanied by a written request from your parents. The Deputy Principal will consider your request carefully and make the decision.
Absences cannot be taken in to account. 
Unauthorised absences can have fatal consequences for counting credits.
 
Only the Principal and the Deputy Principal can authorise absences. 
This has to be done in advance of the absence.
