[Year 12 SofDev] Sorry about this off topic subject - notsure if it worked to the off topic lis

[Russo, Frank R]

Hi Kevin and Kevork you will find that most govt schools will have the
80% minimum. We have introduced a 90% attendance for VCE students in
order to get them to be more responsible for their medical certificates
and to make them more accountable.

Hi Kevin,

 We have a 80% VCE minimum attendance rate discounted for  any absence
with a medical certificate or genuine family reasons.
If a student does not meet the attendance requirement they are
ineligible for satisfactory completion of the VCE unit.

Regards
Kevork

Hi all,
I am struggling  a bit with our schools minimum attendance
requirement.

In the VCE handbook P63 it states "All VCE units require 50 hours of 
class time. A student needs to attend sufficient class time to complete

work. The SCHOOL SETS MINIMUM CLASS TIME AND ATTENDANCE RULES. ..."
(my capitals)
And on P80
"7.1.2 VCE Not Satisfactory unit result
The student receives N for the unit when one or more of the outcomes
are 
not achieved because:
.....* there has been a substantial breach of rules *including school

attendance rules*.

The N result should be used for students who only partly complete work

*or whose attendance records breach school rules."
*(my highlight)

So can i ask in deep respect - what is your school attendance rule?

regards
Kevin Feely
