Assessment Calendars

Assessment calendars are available on the college website under school calendars. These are a great tool to help your child manage their time effectively.

Assessments and Extensions

It is timely to remind all members of our college community of the requirements of our assessment policy. If a student has a valid reason for extra time, they must apply for an extension by meeting with their classroom teacher to discuss their needs. This must be done prior to the due date. An extension will be granted with the required documentation, such as a medical certificate (senior students) or a note (junior students). If there are extenuating circumstances, we urge you to come and discuss it with your child’s PL, Curriculum Leader or a member of the ELT.

Canvas

Parent/guardian access to Canvas is available to all parents and guardians. Use this link to access your child’s Canvas page https://dotcs.instructure.com/login/canvas.

If you are having difficulty with this access, please contact the College office for assistance. Drafts are beginning to be returned to students and parents/guardians can log in and see this feedback to support the assessment process.

NAPLAN

NAPLAN will take place for all of our Year 7 and 9 students from the 12 March 2025 – 20 March 2025. There will be catch up days for students that have missed exams.
