Student on Leave
In the event that students and/or parents have prior knowledge of a student’s inability to attend due to family commitments
or travel they must request leave via a letter addressed to the Principal (forms are available from the front office)
explaining the nature of the leave. Students must speak with the KLA Coordinator regarding these matters after the task
notification has been issued.
All assessment tasks and Examination blocks are advertised in the Assessment Handbook well in advance each year.
