attendance, assessment
and promotion
1. All first year Sixth Form students are expected to take part in all orientation days held during the first week of
school. The first day of school is Monday 24th September 2012. Failure to attend will be taken as a sign that
the student does not intend to enter Sixth Form.
2. Attendance at lectures and tutorials is compulsory. When a student is absent he/she must justify the absence to the
Sixth Form Management by means of a note signed by a parent/guardian on the first day of his/her return to College.
A medical certificate is requested if he/she is absent for more than two consecutive school days.
3. Students are assessed periodically and reports sent to parents/guardians after the first and second term tests, as well
as annual or mock examinations.
4. First year Sixth Form students are promoted only if:
• they succeed in obtaining a pass mark in all subjects in the annual examinations and
• they obtain a final pass mark in all subjects. This final mark for each subject is worked out on the results obtained
in the first term tests (15%), second term tests (35%) and annual examinations (50%).
Lower Sixth Formers who fail in one or two subjects in the final mark or in the annual examinations will be
required to take a re-sit in that/those subject/s in the September supplementary session. If they fail again, they will
be asked to withdraw from the College.
