Outcome 3

// to analyse the processes involved in the creation of your own performance work. //

If a student has not completed a sufficient number of Learning Activities to a satisfactory standard, a Supplementary Task may be administered to allow a student the opportunity to demonstrate meeting an outcome. Failure to complete a Supplementary Task set by the classroom teacher may result in an N being recorded for the Outcome and therefore an N for the Unit.
