Assessment re-sit takes place every Tuesday from 3:05 pm to 4:15 pm for Year 9 and 10 students, and every Thursday from 3:05pm to 4:15pm for Year 7 and 8 students, in the College Cafeteria. These sessions are designed to give students who were absent during an Assessment Task the chance to complete it 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.
