4.    ATTENDANCE

This project caters for FULL-TIME students.  No student will be allowed to register or write the November internal or external exams unless he/she has a suitable record of attendance and has completed all SBA tasks.  From previous experience we have found that a learner with a poor attendance record also makes very poor academic progress.

When a learner is absent from school he/she must produce a doctor’s note on the day he/she returns to school to explain the absence.

5. TESTS. 

The programme of assessments is according to Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) policy.Internal exams are written by Grades 10 and 11 in June and November.   Grade 12 learners write internal exams in June and external Prelim exams in September and GDE external final exams in November.
