Is there a limit on the days of you can take in year 11 set by BOS? (1 Viewer)

[Twickel]

As in you can only take a certain amount then you have to repeat or something?

 

[Aplus]

Is this permitted absences or unexplained absences?

 

[foram]

unexplained. I'm also curious to know how many days of school i can skip.

 

[Aplus]

I don't care about days. I only care about periods :burn:

 

[jellybelly59]

That's about 30 days. So we can skip a whole month of school.

Is that for your school or in general?

Is that for your school or in general?

its... you have to be in class for 4 out of every 5 days a week. so 4/5ths according to the head teacher of english.

as long as you attempt the course well, do all the required work & assessments, you can't go wrong. =)

 

[Twickel]

F@!& I have already taken like 12 days of school, most of them have been at doctors. OMG WHAT DO I DO. WHY DOESNT THE SCHOOL WARN ME.

 

[kaz1]

WHY DOESNT THE SCHOOL WARN ME.

They want you to repeat.

 

[Twickel]

!@#$ IM SCREWED. I gave the school notes explaining why I was away.

 

[Twickel]

t syas its up to the principla to determine if you have not completed the course satisfactory. So you need 50% of the school marks available ( 50% weighting/completion).
THANK GOD.
I did not see any 85% thing.

It also says if we are not completing it satisfactory, we will be notified in time for it to be corrected. Thankgod. I hope I can get my prelim thing.

“For post-compulsory students, Principals may determine an appropriate attendance
pattern(s) that will allow each student to achieve the outcomes of each course being
studied.
Students whose attendance is called into question will be required to prove to the
Principal’s satisfaction, following a review of their performance, that they are meeting
the course completion criteria (see Section 11.4.1).
Principals must give students early written warning of the consequences of absences in
terms of course completion criteria.
If the first warning letter is not effective, a further warning letter(s) should be sent
(see sample letters in Appendices 5 and 6).”


What do you make of that. If someone is missing out alot and are doing crap they will questioned, but if they are doing good they are fine as they are meeting the requirements of the course?

 

[pritnep]

Twickel, your worrying about nothing. You said you had given notes and explained your absence you'll be fine.

 

[lyounamu]

Going to school for some subjects seem pointless as I learn NOTHING from them. I basically attend school basically for Mathematics and English.

I wish I can miss school once every 5 days.

 

[Twickel]

Oh and when I say notes, I mean little notes in my diary from my parents saying,

To whom it may concern
Daniel was not able to attend school on .......... as he was ill.

 

[huhwotsthis]

Er this is worrying me. I take heaps of days off

 

[Twickel]

Around how many have you taken?
IVE TAKEN 14 and I cant go to school this thursday im getting some monitor for my heart from the hospital.

Please please dont repeat.

 

[Continuum]

Twickel, if you have a medical condition or something, then it should be fine as long as you get decent marks...

If you don't have a medical condition and get decent marks, you'll also be fine.

 

[shinji]
