Assessment 

As this year draws to a close, students are beginning to enter the assessment period of the term. Teachers are working to a tight timeline to turnaround from teaching to assessing to reporting, so every day is busy! Assessments are an opportunity for students to 'show what they know' and they are really just an extension of the learning and activities that they have been doing in class. 

Therefore, it is important that students are at school for those earlier leassons in order to have the best opportunity, to indeed show what they know. Assessments are important and valued and we encourage students to do their best at all times, but we also teach them to understand that it is only one part of their learning process and there are always more opportunities in the future to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding.
