Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Kindly be reminded of the following policies enforced by the College: 

Extended Holiday Absence Policy

Whilst the College does not endorse taking students out of school for holidays, we do respect your right to make decisions regarding your child’s attendance. Our experience suggests that any time away from class will impact on student learning as most learning is sequential.

Please note the following points and discuss them with your child:

• Course outlines are available to students via SEQTA, and students are encouraged to keep up to date where possible.
• Teaching staff will not be able to provide specific work to students while absent for extended periods.
• Assignment-type assessments may be submitted before the given deadline, that is, prior to departure, or submitted electronically during the student’s absence.
• Assessments will not be accepted after the due date.
• Assessments in the form of tests and exams will not be rescheduled to accommodate student absence, and thus will be graded with a score of zero.
• Where a student has received a score of zero (either due to a non-submission of an assignment by the due date or being absent from a test or exam), this will contribute to their overall score for the Semester.

The Academic success

I would like to remind our school community of the Academic Code of Integrity. This code plays a vital role in upholding the values and standards of our institution.
Please take the time to review and discuss this code with your child. As we strive for academic excellence, it is important for our students to understand the importance of ethical behavior.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in these matters.

Feel free to contact the College if you have any questions or concerns.
