Information regarding ‘Period 5’ Assessment Task Afternoon Catch-Up Sessions

Starting in Term 2, Week 2, we are pleased to continue our ‘Period 5’ Assessment Task Afternoon Catch-Up Sessions.

Purpose:

• These sessions provide a dedicated, supervised space for students to complete missed Assessment Tasks without missing further class time. This initiative specifically supports Year 10 and 11 students who do not have scheduled study periods, as well as students needing to reschedule Units 3–4 SACs.

Key Information for Families:

• When: Sessions will run on alternate Monday and Thursday afternoons in Term 2. Schedule provided further below.

• Time: 3:45pm – 5:00pm (Supervision begins at 3:35pm in the Study Hall).

How the Process Works:

• If your child needs to attend a ‘Period 5’ Assessment Task Catch-Up Session, the process is streamlined to keep you informed:

1. Consultation: The subject teacher will discuss the catch-up requirement with your child.
2. Notification: You will receive a 'Rescheduled Task Letter', outlining the specific date and time of their session.
3. Completion: Once the task is finished, the supervising teacher will ensure it is securely returned to the subject teacher for marking.

The Importance of Attendance:

• A significant amount of coordination goes on behind the scenes to organise these sessions and prepare the necessary materials.
• We kindly ask for your support in ensuring your child attends their scheduled session.
• Attending a scheduled ‘Period 5’ Assessment Task Catch-Up Session is a necessary step for students to complete their course requirements.
