Assessment and Communication in Secondary
Where homework is set by teachers and not completed:
-
once in 10 weeks, the teacher records it
-
second time in 10 weeks, parents are informed
-
third time in a 10 week period, the student is given an infringement.

Students are given plenty of time to produce assignments so consequently, late assignments will attract a 10% penalty per day for up to 3 days. After this time the assignments still need to be completed and an infringement given.
