If you require an extension you will need to submit an extension request
document explaining the following points:
1) The reason for requesting an extension
2) Description of what work you have completed to date
You will need to submit this in advance of the due date. A grant of extension is
at the discretion of your teacher.
Absence:
If for some reason you are absent from school it is your responsibility to catch
up any work you missed. You can visit the class site for some information from
class.
If it means you will be away for an assessment item then you will need to
negotiate an alternative submission date with your teacher.
5. SUBMITTING ASSESSMENT
Assessment must be submitted by the designated due date
instructed by your teacher. Work submitted late will incur a
grade mark deduction per day late (eg. If you receive an A
for your Assignment and you hand it in one day late you will
receive an A-)
For work handed in more than 5 days late you will be marked
on any work you have done and can only receive a
maximum of a C (pass) grade.
