Assessment Conduct and Policy
Assessment conduct and policy is vital for students because they establish a fair and consistent system for evaluating their performance.
A. Instructions For The Conduct Of Assessment

Students will be required to bring their own stationery into the assessment venues (writing materials, calculators, dictionaries, rulers and mathematical sets).
Unauthorized materials (bags, books, notes, papers, mobile phones, smart watches, fitness trackers, smart glasses) must be placed in the bags before the start of the assessment. Any unauthorised materials found in their possession during the assessment, will be considered a dishonest act.

Once the assessment has started, students will be required to get permission from the invigilator should they require anything from their bags.

Students will not be allowed to leave the assessment venue before the end of the assessment unless permitted by the invigilator.
All unused writing paper must be returned to the invigilator, all used papers must be crushed and thrown into the bin before leaving the assessment venue.
Students caught for displaying any dishonest acts (e.g., cheating, unauthorized use of electronic devices, collaboration with others, using cheating sheets and communication) will be given zero mark for the assessment. Parents will be informed, and students will be subjected to disciplinary actions by the school.
B. In The Event Of Major Train Service Disruptions
