EXAMS AND CULMINATING PERFORMANCE TASK
An examination is a consolidation and demonstration of some or all of the overall expectations for a course and is administered at the end of the course during the formal exam period. A culminating performance task (CPT) is a consolidation and demonstration of some or all of the overall expectations for a course, and is administered towards the end of the course, during class time under the supervision of the teacher (outside of the formal exam period).
Students are expected to complete each of their scheduled culminating activities and formal exams in the time frame allotted for these activities. If a student is unable to do either due to illness, a medical certificate is mandatory to avoid a mark of zero. This certificate must be submitted to the Principal or designated Vice-Principal prior to the end of the examination period.
**If busses are cancelled due to inclement weather, the exams normally scheduled for that exam day are rescheduled for the identified snow day.**
