Assessment Policy

In the Mercy and Christian Brothers tradition, Assumption College is committed to the educational philosophy that encourages all students to achieve personal excellence in their desired pathways. With assessment fast approaching, it is essential that parents and students familiarise themselves with the Assumption College Assessment Policy.

This assessment policy incorporates the roles, responsibilities, processes and procedures, used by Assumption College to ensure academic integrity, concerning the completion of work and the submission of assessment (including exams).  

The roles and responsibilities outlined apply to all Assumption College students, parents/guardians and staff, and comply with policies and procedures set down by the QCAA (Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority) and the College.

It includes procedures and processes for:

• Promoting academic integrity
• Managing academic misconduct
• Applying for AARA (Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments)
• The submission of assessments (including both internal and external tasks) and the administration of external assessment.

Conducting assessment within the Senior Years (Years 10-12), is to ensure that all assessment will be valid, accessible, and reliable. Assessment activities will be created by cooperative teamwork (where there is more than one specialist teacher) or the responsible teachers working with the Assistant Principal Curriculum. The Assistant Principal Curriculum has oversight of the curriculum and assessment in Years 7-12. All QCAA processes must be followed in the first instance for Years 11 and 12 assessment.

The assessment policy can be found on the College website or via the link below. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the College.

Assessment Policy

Academic Detentions

Assessment is one of the most important parts of a student's learning journey. It is an opportunity to obtain feedback on their learning and create opportunities to improve. Therefore, the College has high expectations regarding assessment. Any students who fail to meet the requirements of the College’s assessment policy, may be subjected to an after school academic detention. These will occur on Tuesday afternoons, from 3:00pm to 4:00pm. If your child falls into this category, then you will be notified by the classroom teacher, and a letter sent home outlining the procedure. The College would like to thank parents for their continued support of high expectations for academic success.
