Students are expected to be present for all examinations that they are scheduled to write. If a student misses an exam:

• Due to illness: if a student misses an examination due to illness, the parent/guardian must contact the school before the examination. Arrangements to write the examination at another time will be made in consultation with the course instructor.

• Due to reasons deemed acceptable by the Principal or his/her designate: if a student must miss an examination due to reasons other than sickness, the parent/guardian must contact the school before the examination. Arrangements to write the examination at another time will be made in consultation with the course instructor.

• Due to disregard for the examination: missing exams without an acceptable reason, as determined by The Principal or his/her designate in consultation with other persons as deemed necessary, may result in a mark of ‘0’ for that examination.
