is it possible? can you fail the hsc if you have too many absences?
failing the HSC (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter abdooooo!!!
- Start date
isnt there a rule that says u have to be there (i mean at school) for at least 80% of the time? otherwise u get an unsatisfactory attendance record and that could disqualify u from getting the HSC (which is technically failing it .lol)

Yea, it's possibly - but it's up to the school's discretion at the level of absences you're allowed - my school is 85%, which means we can only miss 3 Extension periods or 8 2U periods... but schools range from about 70% - 85%... and if you fall below that level, it starts the U letter system... which will probably end in an N Grade... which means you fail the course... so if it's English, you fail HSC, and if you only do 10 Units, you fail HSC, etc.

Everything's perfect!
At ours its 80% of total attendance, and 80% of each class.
ameh
dirty trick

Your friendly HSC guide
Lateness isn't much of a problem I don't think.
abdoooo your gonna have to start going to school more, 50% is certainly not good enough.
But they should give you a warning that you are going to get unsatisfactory if you are approaching it soon...

One guy at our school was away a lot and the deputy told him that if he has one more absence then his HSC is at stake.

Your screwed, i was away about 15 days out of the whole year... lol
Is very gay how our school considers anyone arriving after 10am is half day absent, especially when i have a free period for the 1st period and sign in 5 minutes late... lol remember the old days

We already have people at our school that have failed the HSC because they havent been there enough...
I think if you away for medical reasons, they dont count that time, like in year 10 when it was too painful to walk on my knee, I had to stay home, so they didnt count that time...
So they must do it in year 10 as well.

Its a bit different at my school. Most people have 4 subjects so we have a lot of periods of one subject a week. If they arrive late 3 times a week and turn up an hour late when we have 3 periods of bio in the morning - thats 3 hours of bio gone.

Has decided to retire
its tied in with the minimum "face to face" hours that are linked with the various stages/courses
eg stage 5 (yr 9/10) has between 200 and 400 (??) mandatory hours across the 2 years. Thats why you had more maths and english than your other subjects in stage 5.
The hours exist in the HSC (it should be in the front of each subjects syllabus and at the back in the assessment section as well) hence the "failure rate" re unexplained/unjustified absences. Schools have to really justify their hours and yours every year to the BOS so its not really a matter of schools being pains in the butt for the sake of it..there are legal reasons that are out of the hands of the schools (hence the whole notification procedure to give fair warning etc)

at our school, being late is recorded as a partial absence. meaning you have to hand in a note from the parents
if you dont, it shows on your report. blahblahblah

Same, but at our school it shows up as a partical absence on your report anyways, even if you do hand a note in.
