CIE is one of the world’sleading providers of international qualifications and assessments. The courses are recognised internationally asacademically rigorous and of significant value to employers and places of further education. As a school we are totallycommitted to the CIE qualifications.A student enrolled for these qualifications needs to be fully aware of the level of commitment required and what it means tosuccessfully complete the course. For each of their subjects, students will find:(1) a course outline(2) an assessment schedule(3) the course requirementsFailure to complete the course requirements to a reasonable standard may result in a recommendation being made for thestudent to be placed on Academic Probation.It has been our experience that students who fully commit to their studies at this level generally enjoy success.A. Assessments and Deadlines1. All assessments (assignments, projects, essays, etc) which contribute towards the student’s School Termmark or CIE qualifications must be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. on the day specified by the subject teacher.Student work will be marked by the teacher as being ‘Received’ if on time or ‘Late’ if handed in after the deadline.2. Note that the School’s Policy requires deadlines to be met. The due date is the last day for work to behanded in. If the student is absent on the day, the student is still responsible for ensuring the work reaches theSchool on time. If necessary, students will need to send their work by email.3. If students do not meet a deadline, they will still have to complete the work and hand it in for CourseRequirements. Late work will usually result in a ZERO mark being recorded for that piece of work.4. There must be exceptional reasons for late work to be accepted for marks to be allocated. Documentedevidence must be presented to the Deputy Principal to support a request for late work to be considered. Parentswill often be contacted for further information following discussion with subject teachers.5.
