ASSESSMENT REGULATIONS:
The
assessment tasks in this course are all done on paper. Practical work will
support the written assessment tasks but is not directly assessed.
Every
student in this course will be required to sign a contract regarding the use of
the school workshop and the tools and equipment. Breaking the contract will
result in removal from the class.
Every
standard in this course contains written tasks to be completed. Students who
are entitled to reader/writer assistance need to draw this to the attention of
the teacher at the beginning of the school year so that assistance can be
arranged well before the deadlines of the assessment.
Due dates
will be advised by your teacher and are not negotiable. Incomplete work will
not be assessed subject to the school NCEA policy.
Metalworking is dirty work
You are
responsible for protecting your clothing. A dust coat or overalls are
recommended.
