Students are encouraged to submit work on time, as this is a valuable organisational skill. Students are also encouraged to complete work even if it is late as there are educational benefits in so doing. The following policy is to ensure equity for all students: · All assessment tasks are expected to be submitted by the specified due date. · Where marks are awarded for assessment tasks, a late penalty will apply unless an extension is granted. The penalty for late submission is 5% (of possible marks) per calendar day late, including weekends and public holidays, until a notional zero is reached. If an item is more than 7 days late, it receives the notional zero. Submission on weekends or public holidays is not acceptable. Calculation of a notional zero is based on items submitted on time or with an approved extension. · Where marks are not awarded and a grade only is given for an assessment task, teachers will take into account the extent to which students have demonstrated their ability to complete and submit the task by the due date (taking into account any extensions granted) in awarding the grade. · Unless there are exceptional circumstances, students must apply for an extension to the specified due date in advance, providing due cause and adequate documentary evidence for late submission. · It may not be possible to grade or score work submitted late after marked work in a unit has been returned to other students. · The principal has the right to exercise discretion in the application of the late penalty in special circumstances where satisfactory documentation has been provided.
