ATTENDANCE AT SAC CLASSES The marks that you achieve in these classes contribute to your VCAA grades and ENTER for Units 3 & 4 and your Belmont High School grade for Units 1 & 2. They also enable you to demonstrate that you have achieved the outcomes required to receive ‘S’ for the unit. It is therefore essential that you are present in SAC classes to complete this work. Your teachers will notify you of SAC class dates at the beginning of each unit and will ensure that SAC classes do not clash with any whole school activities eg. Production, Rock Eisteddfod, sport. Where possible teachers will also negotiate with you around other smaller school activities.
Please remember:
· SAC classes will only run once – you will need to be there.
· If you miss a SAC class you will receive a score of ‘NA’ (no assessment). You may also receive ‘N’ for the unit as you may not have demonstrated that you have achieved that outcome.
· If you are sick or have other significant problems when a SAC class is run you may apply to the VCE Coordinator for Special Provision (consideration of disadvantage) as soon as possible, before the SAC. This may not necessarily enable you to sit for the SAC at another time. Each application will be considered individually by your class teacher and VCE Coordinator and a decision will be made based on the supporting documentation (eg. Doctor’s letter) that you supply, and your demonstrated work ethic to date. Other VCE Approved Absences may be allowed – see the VCE Coordinator.
· Students who miss SAC classes without being granted Special Provision or a VCE Approved Absence, will have their enrolment status at school questioned.
· Students must obey school rules for the completion of SACs.
