Year 10 CAT Redemption Session

In order to support our Year 10 students to achieve success in their Year 10 studies and preparedness for VCE, Senior School is implementing a Year 10 CAT (Common Assessment Task) Redemption Session after school on selected Thursdays throughout the term from 3:15pm – 4:25pm in rooms 321/322. Year 10 students will be booked into this session if:

• They have missed a CAT in class due to being absent for either medical or school approved activities such as excursion, camp, school sport, music or other extra-curricular activities.
• The CAT that was submitted has not satisfactorily met the requirements of the task. In this case a redemption task will be given to provide another opportunity for the student to demonstrate their understanding of key knowledge and skills being assessed. 
   
• The CAT redemption session will appear on the student's Compass schedule. We encourage students with part-time employment to allow for this when advising their employer of their availability.  Please contact the relevant Year 10 Coordinator if you have any further questions.
