Our assessment program encourages progressive development of skills and knowledge while ensuring:

• consistency across subjects and courses
• fairness in marking and reporting
• coordination of the assessment program to ease the load on students.

Assessment tasks are designed to measure performance against course outcomes through a range of assessment tasks and in a wider range of objectives than may be tested in an examination. Assessment tasks may include:

• Tests which may take a written, practical and oral form
• Class essays, research tasks, assignments, portfolios, log books
• Practical tasks and major works
• Fieldwork and Projects 

The School Assessment Policy is designed to ensure consistency throughout the school, to ensure no student is disadvantaged and to encourage students to meet their assessment deadlines.
