Appeals

Appeal process.

Students and parents/caregivers are entitled to be well informed about assessment by providing timely and accurate information. Good assessment practices, as outlined in this website, reduce the need for formal appeals. However all students have the right to appeal any assessment-related decision.

Students will have up to five (5) school days after the return of internally assessed work in which to lodge an appeal regarding the level of achievement assigned to their work.

In the first instance, the student must discuss any issues with their subject teacher. If the issue is not resolved to their mutual satisfaction, then an approach is made next to the HOLA/HOD and then to the Principal’s Nominee who will make a recommendation to the Principal. The Principal’s decision is final. At each level, the decision is communicated back to the student and the student’s parent or caregiver.
