Student Examination Rules
- Students who have conflicts, i.e. two or more exams written at the same
time or 3 or more being written on one day, should report to the
Guidance Office at least one week prior to exams.
- Students must be in the examination room at least 10 minutes before
the examination. Examinations begin at 9:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 1:30
p.m. Be sure to check the schedule.
- Every student has the responsibility to arrive at the examination at the
correct time. No examination will be written at any time other than
the time indicated on the official examination schedule.
- A student who misses any examination due to illness, within one week
of the date of illness, must present a medical certificate to the
Attendance Secretary. A student who misses an examination in the first
or second term will be required to write the third term examination in that
subject.
- Students must come to the examination room equipped with pencils,
ruler, pen and such mathematical instruments as may be needed.
Scientific calculators with extended memory are not acceptable.
- Before the distribution of the question papers, students must place all
texts, notebooks and other such materials along the walls as directed
by the teacher in charge.
- Students may leave the examination room only after 1 hour (for a 1 1/2
hour exam) or 1 1/2 hours (for a 2 hour exam) have elapsed. A number
of students are writing examinations in a conflict room situation and an
early dismissal of other students would jeopardize the security of their
exams. Students must leave the hallways promptly upon
excusal/dismissal.
- Answer papers must be handed in to the teacher, but not before the end
of the time allowed for that particular examination.
- Examination answer papers will be confiscated and the office notified if
a student communicates with another student, or uses any unauthorized
material on his/her desk or person. Presiding teacher must call the
office and have the office duty teacher, or principal or vice-principal
come immediately to the examination room if any student appears to be
cheating. If the allegations of cheating are accurate, the exam mark will
be zero. Such student will also receive a suspension.
- The Resource Centre will be open during examination week from 8:45
a.m. to 1:45 p.m. for quiet study only.
- The cafeteria is open from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Students who wish
to study in the cafeteria must remain there for the full examination
period.
- In order to ensure the quietest possible conditions, no students will be
permitted to be in the halls where examinations are being written.
- Students may stay at home to study on those days or part days for
which they have no examination scheduled.
School Policies for Examinations Not Written
Illness
If a student misses one or more exams due to illness, the following
procedures will apply:
- A parent or guardian of the student will notify the school, usually by
telephone, of the illness prior to the start of examinations or as soon
as possible thereafter.
- Within 5 school days of the date of illness, the student must bring a
medical certificate to the Attendance Office. The certificate should
indicate the duration of the illness.
- The attendance secretary will add the student's name to the list of
exemptions due to illness for those examinations covered by the
medical certificate.
Reasons Other Than Illness
If parents intend to withdraw a student from school for one or more
examinations due to special family circumstances, they should
contact a member of the administration to discuss the consequences.
PLEASE NOTE: If a student is unable to write a term 1 or term 2
examination, then the term 3 examination in that subject must be
written.
