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.
The
assessment tasks in this course can be completed partly at school and partly in
your Gateway work placement if you are in the Gateway class.
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

not be assessed subject to the school NCEA policy.
Metalworking is dirty work
You are
