Reporting
A brief interim report on class work and behaviour will be issued towards the end of Term 1. The achievement for each unit will be reported as a College A - E grade as well as a percentage mark for the unit and an examination mark. In addition, the student's approach to class work and behaviour will be reported via the usual key performance indicators.
Student Expectations - Homework
Homework marks contribute to the final score and form an important means of making a formative assessment of student understanding. In order to give timely feedback, the homework's will be marked and returned within 2-3 lessons. For this reason, students are to meet the deadlines as late submissions will be marked down severely.
