Attendance

In order to pass an ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies course it is mandated that the student must actively participate in at least 90% of classroom tasks.

To endorse this level of participation by online students, teachers will have certain expectations for providing ‘proof’ of completion of work.

This may take the form of

- - - responding to tasks through Google Classroom
    - submitting tasks through Google Classroom
    - engaging in regular dialogue with their class teacher via Google Classroom comments or email
    - submitting assessment
    - participating in Connect Time

Each unit will have its own expectations so students must be very clear about what they need to complete in order to meet the expectations of the course. These will be made clear in the unit outlines provided by the teacher.

If the student is not adhering to these expectations, the teacher will make contact with the student to address the concern. If this continues, the student will be at risk of ‘V’ grading the course and no points or assessment scores will be awarded.

Student Absences

Parents will still be required to notify the school if their child is ill, or unable to complete school work on a particular day.

Parents/carers may notify the college of a student absence using one of these methods:

Explanation of absence via email – LakeGStudentServices@ed.act.edu.au
Telephoning the Front Office on 6142 0222

When explaining an absence, please provide all of the following information:

Student name
