All Mater Innovation Academy students are expected to be honest in what they carry out, present, and submit as

their work. This means that all parts of all works submitted for assessments, whether internal or external, must

either be original to the student or must be properly cited.

Academic dishonesty may involve:

• Copying materials from a textbook, the internet, or another student and presenting it as one’s own work.
• Collusion.
• Taking unauthorized materials into an examination room (e.g. electronic devices other than a permitted calculator, notes, smartphones, etc.) regardless of whether this material is used or potentially contains information pertinent to the examination.
• Misconduct during an examination, including any attempt to disrupt the examination or distract another student. 
• Exchanging or in any way supporting, or attempting to support, the passing of information that is related to an examination.
• Failing to comply with the instructions of the teacher/proctor or other members of the school’s staff responsible for the conduct of the examination.
• Impersonating another student.
• Stealing/Copying examination papers.
• Using an unauthorized calculator during examination.
• Disclosing or discussing the content of an examination paper with a person outside of the immediate school community within 24 hours of the end of examination.
• This list above is by no means exhaustive.

Actions to be taken by the school if a student is found guilty of academic dishonesty:

• Meeting with administration
• Zero earned grade for the assignment
• Student placed on academic probation for the schoo
