Assessment for learning is a guiding principle for effective teaching and learning. Teachers will provide students with authentic assessment opportunities which enhance the learning process.
As part of our preparation of students for future NCEA assessment and as a principle of effective learning, teachers provide feedback and feedforward at predetermined checkpoints. Students may be granted the opportunity to resubmit at the teacher’s discretion provided a genuine effort had been made (refer to Resubmission section). Any queries relating to this process should be directed to the Assistant Principal who will address the concern appropriately.
It is an expectation the all assessment work is submitted. For late submissions, a maximum grade of Achieved will apply.
