Reminder – Illness & Misadventure Application Process

Letter from the Director of Curriculum & NESA Accreditation

27 February 2026

Dear Parents/Carers of Years 7–12 Students,

Illness and Misadventure Application Process

This is a friendly reminder about the Illness and Misadventure Application process for assessment tasks. As shared previously, the application is now available through an online form, making the process more accessible and efficient. This applies to any student in Years 7–12 who is unable to complete or submit an assessment task on time due to illness, misadventure, or other approved circumstances. 

To assist with navigating these procedures, we have developed a clear, question and answer style Assessment Procedures Guide for Years 7–12. This one-page resource outlines common scenarios, what action is required, and the consequences of not following the process. We encourage all families to review this document to ensure they are familiar with the expectations around assessment tasks.

Key information to remember;

  • If a student is absent or unable to submit or complete an assessment task, an Assessment Illness/Misadventure Form must be submitted by a parent or carer using the online form.
  • Documentation must be submitted when completing this form:
    • Years 7–8: A signed parent/carer note is required.
    • Years 9–12: A Doctor’s Certificate or official documentation must be submitted.
  • The form must be submitted within five school days of the task due date.
  • Students must be prepared to submit or sit the task on their first day back unless advised otherwise.

We thank you for your support in ensuring that all students are given a fair and consistent opportunity to complete their assessments. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Kind regards,


 Ms Monique Brame
 Director of Curriculum and NESA Accreditation
