Newtown High School of the Performing Arts

Year 7 – 9

Assessment Task Lateness Policy

Each faculty at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts has formal common assessment tasks set for Years 7 – 9 students. These assessment schedules are set at the beginning of the year and are published in the school’s official Assessment Booklets.

All students are given at least TWO weeks notice prior to an assessment task being due. All students are encouraged to ensure that they meet all their assessment deadlines.

A faculty will deduct 20% of the total assessment task mark each school day a task is late. After five school days, if the task is still not submitted the student will receive a mark of zero for the task. It is expected that all students complete all tasks.

This policy is designed to ensure consistency throughout the school and to ensure no student is disadvantaged. It is also designed to encourage students to meet their assessment deadlines.

The school is committed to enhancing and encouraging students learning outcomes. Students deserve to be treated equally and those students who meet all deadlines deserve to be rewarded. Students who fail to meet deadlines will be penalised in accordance with this policy.

If a scheduled assessment task clashes with an extra-curricula activity, it is the students’ responsibility to make alternate arrangements prior to the due date. This would require a negotiation between the student, class teacher and the Head Teacher
