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

Sacred Heart College is pleased to continue our ‘Period 5’ Assessment Task Afternoon Catch-Up Sessions in Semester 2, 2026 (Terms 3 and 4).

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 Unit 4 SACs.

Key Information for Families:

• When: Sessions will run on alternate Monday (Day 1) and Thursday (Day 9) afternoons during Terms 3-4. Kindly see schedule provided further below.

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

How the Process Works: If your child needs to attend a ‘Period 5’ Assessment Task Catch-Up Session, the process is:

1. Consultation: The subject teacher will discuss the catch-up requirement with your child.
2. Notification: As the Parent/Guardian you will receive a 'Rescheduled Task Letter', outlining the specific date and time of your child’s scheduled session.
3. Completion: Once the task is finished, the supervising teacher will ensure your child’s Assessment Task is securely returned to the relevant 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.
