A teacher will not accept your work if they believe that it has been copied from somewhere else. To show the teacher that your work is your own, you must:

1. Regularly complete work in class.
2. Hand in work regularly throughout the semester. Show the teacher drafts of work when required.
3. Keep ALL drafts, notes etc. until the end of assessment.

If a teacher believes a student has cheated in a SAC, VCAA rules will apply. These rules are set out in the VCAA VCE Handbook.

Breaches of the rules for the conduct of assessments are considered an infringement of VCAA assessment rules and guidelines and will be investigated as per VCAA requirements. The investigations will be conducted by the Senior Sub school School Leader, Assistant Principal and/or Principal and subsequent penalties will occur as determined by the Principal.

A student may be eligible for exam assistance or adjustments to work load if affected to a significant degree by illness or other serious problems, or if he or she is disadvantaged by any physical disability or other impairment such as a learning problem. These arrangements are negotiated between the student and their parents, teachers , the coordinator and the Senior Sub School leader. The principal Principal makes the final decision about all cases of Special Provision.

For further details see the VCAA publication "Special Provision".

If you have become ill or experienced a traumatic event in the two weeks leading up to examinations or during the examination period, you may apply to have your examination result determined by the VCAA. This applies to all examinations - written, oral and performance.

• You must apply through the Senior Sub School leader. The principal Principal will determine whether you are eligible and make a recommendation to the VCAA.
• Your application must be substantiated with evidence from an independent professional (e.g. doctor, social worker, police officer or solicitor). This must be made immediately prior to or on the day of the exam.
• The VCAA will make the final decision on your application.
