I've taken maybe 3 or 4 days off since Term 4 last year...one was Swimming Carnival, the others I was sick.

I know but the school would have said something by now right. Also they are all explained, no jigging.

“For post-compulsory students, Principals may determine an appropriate attendance
pattern(s) that will allow each student to achieve the outcomes of each course being
studied.
Students whose attendance is called into question will be required to prove to the
Principal’s satisfaction, following a review of their performance, that they are meeting
the course completion criteria (see Section 11.4.1).
Principals must give students early written warning of the consequences of absences in
terms of course completion criteria.
If the first warning letter is not effective, a further warning letter(s) should be sent
(see sample letters in Appendices 5 and 6).”

At 85% attendance is considered a minimum. Exceptional cases involving
less than 85% attendance need to be approved by the Principal. In particular, any extended
overseas leave requires the approval of the Principal two weeks prior to the student commencing
their leave. There are to be no unexplained absences. Attendance deemed unsatisfactory will
proceed to Review Process.

I think they would have told me by now.

Well I screwed these exams, but before these exams my ranks were as follows

3/52 for bio
20/31 for phy
8/32 for chem
19/91for sor
22/32 for ext math
46/68 for math!!!!!!!!!! ZOMG it went up for another exam but it went back down again because of prelim


Expect those ranks to get worse so yeah. Its not really effecting my marks.

When do we get the certificate for completing year 11?

Being late shouldn't really count as poor attendance in my opinion - I mean you're still turning up.

My school makes a big deal out of it though - our prefect master stands in front of our gate and questions why we are late - and we get detentions and stuff for being late frequently.

None, so far. Ironic when juxtaposed to junior high school - I've essentially lost count, so it's n absences in the past.

n= ~52399711420

I just had a look at my report, and I've had:

- 15 days off.
- 12 late
- 1 leave early.

Do you think that's going to affect my HSC?

Nope, unless you don't catch up on your work - then you'll be stuffed, but that's because you don't know your content.
