Missed exams
If your child is absent on the day of an exam, your child will need to follow our Missed Exam process as outlined in our Learning Policy. As outlined in the policy, students who miss an exam must complete and submit the online Missed Exam Form External link along with appropriate documentation. Please note that documentary evidence will need to be submitted to support an absence, for example, a medical certificate or notice of selection into a national sporting team.
