   If a student has a fever or looks visibly unwell, he/she will not be allowed to sit for examinations / assessments. Parents will be contacted to take him/her home. Students should practise social responsibility and stay away from crowds when they are unwell to prevent the spread of diseases or illnesses.
   If a student is absent for any examination / assessment, he/she must produce a valid medical certificate or other valid documents upon return to school.
