Assessment in Mandatory Geography
All students are expected to complete all class activities to demonstrate their ongoing learning. These form part of the informal assessment program. The formal program is outlined below.
The mandatory course has an assessment program which repeats itself for years 7-9, with each group following the same program with slightly different but equivalent tasks. The process is based on ensuring the skills required by the syllabus are covered as part of the assessment task program developed. Tasks may change slightly as alternative assessment processes develop
