For a student who appears unwell on the day of exam, School Exam Committee personnel will use their professional judgement to determine the student’s suitability to sit for the paper.
Students who are absent for any of the papers due to illness must present a medical certificate in order to have “VR” (Valid Reason) reflected in the results slip. Students who are absent for good reasons other than being sick will be granted “VR” on a case-by-case basis. This will be decided by the Principal or Vice-Principal. Students who are absent for any paper without valid reasons will be given “ZERO” for the paper.
