Assessment re-sit occurs from 3:05pm - 4:15pm each Tuesday and Thursday in the College Cafeteria and is designed to provide an opportunity for students who are absent for an Assessment Task to complete this task, without missing additional class time. Parents/carers will be notified through SEQTA the Friday prior to a Tuesday Assessment Re-sit Session, or the Tuesday prior to a Thursday Assessment Re-sit Session if their child is required to attend.

Students are required to attend for the full 70-minutes of the Assessment Re-sit Session, regardless of the length of their Assessment Task. If a student is absent for an Assessment Re-sit, this absence needs to be validated for the Assessment Task to be rescheduled.

The following are considered valid reasons for absence at an Assessment Re-sit Session:

• illness (medical certificate required within 48 hours with an accompanying parent/carer note to reception)
• compassionate grounds i.e. a funeral (parent/carer to provide note to reception)
• isolation due to infectious diseases protocols (parent/carer note to reception is required).

The following are considered as examples of invalid reasons for missing an Assessment Re-sit:

• illness (without a medical certificate)
• personal travel/ family commitments
• part-time job commitments.

Students who do not attend an Assessment Re-sit Session, or do not have a valid reason for missing the Assessment Re-sit, will have a score of 0% awarded for the Assessment Task, which impacts the students Overall Result for the Subject.
