The marks accumulated during these assessments add to the final promotion marks of a student. If a student is absent for any of these assessments without a legal reason, he/she will forfeit the mark. Late submittance of assignments or non compliance to any of these assessments will cause the student to get nil (0) for the specific assessment.
A termly assessment program will be provided to the students and parents at the beginning of each term showing all dates for tests and other assessments for all subjects.
