BLACKWATTLE BAY CAMPUS INTRODUCTION

This booklet will inform you clearly of assessment tasks that must be completed to show that you have satisfied the requirements of each course. Student assessment provides evidence for making judgment about student achievement. The booklet is distributed during the Year 12 Learning Conference Workshop “Assessments” where one of the members of the School Assessment Task Force will reinforce the main assessment procedures. Each student is required to complete a statement acknowledging they have received the booklet, attended the workshop and understand their rights and responsibilities.

The students must complete all course work to a satisfactory standard in order to meet the requirements of the HSC course.

If you have any concerns or issues regarding any assessment task you should consult the Head Teacher of the faculty in which the course is delivered and then the Deputy Principal responsible for Assessments, Ms. Jan Cuke.

It is most important to keep your Year Advisers & Teachers up to date with changes to your study. If you are going to be absent for any period of time, you must request approval from the Principal first. Extended leave for Year 12 students must be approved by the Principal.

In regard to Assessment procedures you may wish to contact any member of the Assessment Task Force:

SYDNEY SECONDARY COLLEGE ASSESSMENT POLICY

Assessment is the process of identifying, gathering and interpreting information about student

achievement. Assessment can be used to:

assist student learning evaluate and improve teaching and learning programs provide information on student learning and progress in a course in relation to the syllabus

outcomes provide evidence of satisfactory completion of a course report on the achievement by each student at the end of a course.

Assessment of Learning (summative assessment) ‐ assists teachers in using evidence of student

learning to assess achievement against outcomes and standards. Usually occurs at defined key

points during a unit of work or at the end of a unit, term or semester, and may be used to rank or

grade students. The effectiveness of assessment of learning for grading or ranking depends on the

validity and reliability of activities. Its effectiveness as an opportunity for learning depends on the

nature and quality of the feedback.

Assessment of learning:

is used to plan future learning goals and pathways for students

provides evidence of achievement to the wider community, including parents, educators,the students themselves and outside groups

provides a transparent interpretation across all audiences

Assessment for Learning (formative assessment) involves teachers using evidence about students'

knowledge, understanding and skills to inform their teaching. Usually occurs throughout the

teaching and learning process to clarify student learning and understanding.

Assessment for learning:

reflects a view of learning in which assessment helps students learn better, rather than justachieve a better mark

involves formal and informal assessment activities as part of learning and to inform theplanning of future learning

includes clear goals for the learning activity

provides effective feedback that motivates the learner and can lead to improvement

reflects a belief that all students can improve

encourages self‐assessment and peer assessment as part of the regular classroom routines

involves teachers, students and parents reflecting on evidence

is inclusive of all learners.

5

Assessment as Learning occurs when students are their own assessors. Students monitor their own

learning, ask questions and use a range of strategies to decide what they know and can do, and

how to use assessment for new learning.

Assessment as learning:

encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning

requires students to ask questions about their learning

involves teachers and students creating learning goals to encourage growth anddevelopment

provides ways for students to use formal and informal feedback and self‐assessment to helpthem understand the next steps in learning

encourages peer assessment, self‐assessment and reflection.

Sydney Secondary College Campuses are expected to: conduct sound assessment programs that allow students to demonstrate the breadth and

depth of their knowledge, skills and understanding (level of achievement) of the outcomes in arange of different task types

develop quality assessment tasks and well‐constructed marking guidelines provide effective feedback to students in relation to their strengths and weaknesses and areas

for improvement encourage students to take greater responsibility for their own learning evaluate and refine teaching programs in response to student performance report student achievement to various audiences including parents, employers and others, in

ways that meet their needs report assessments (marks for the HSC except for VET curriculum frameworks, satisfactorily

completion and grades for Year 11 , grades for Year 10 to NSW Education StandardsAuthority(NESA)

6

HSC ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES

The assessment mark for each course is a measure of achievement throughout the courseincluding that, which cannot be tested at a final examination (e.g. practical work, oral skills,research tasks etc).

Each Faculty will follow policy as laid down by the NSW Education Standards Authority(NESA) and set tasks and the marks to be awarded for each task in accordance with theSyllabus documents.

The assessment period starts Week 1 of Term 4 in Year 12 (2017) and finishes the end ofTerm 3 in Year 12. (2018 )

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) advises that in individual courses thenumber of tasks be limited to between 3 to 5 tasks of various types e.g. formalexaminations, practical tests, oral tests. An individual task would not normally be worth lessthan 10% and no more than 40%.

Tasks are scheduled by week and term, with students given a minimum of two weekswritten notice of:

the exact date the task is to be submitted

the exact time and venue the task is to be submitted

nature of the task

task description

marking guidelines

outcomes to be assessed

The course scaffolds contained within this booklet specifies the term and week each assessment task is scheduled. Class teachers will advise in writing of the precise timing of each task at least two week prior to the due date. A separate document will be issued each term with specific dates/time for all tasks. These dates will be published on the Blackwattle Bay Campus website and in Skoolbag.

Changes to the stated Assessment Program must be communicated to the students inwriting with two weeks’ notice. Students are required to sign an Assessment Taskdistribution sheet indicating they have received the variations. Changes to any assessmenttask must have the approval of the Deputy Principal.

Procedures for disability provisionsPrincipals have the authority to decide on, and to implement, disability provisions forschool‐based assessment tasks including examinations. Provisions are provided to ensurestudents with a disability are able to access and respond to a task. Implementing disabilityprovisions is based on the recommendations from the Learning Support Team. (Disability

7

conditions include anxiety, autism spectrum disorder‐severe, back injury, broken arm, vision impairment/low vision)

Students seeking Disability Provisions for assessment tasks are to communicate with theirCourse Teacher and Head Teacher at least two weeks prior to the date of the assessmenttask.

Disability provisions must be applied for and approved by NESA for the Higher SchoolCertificate examinations. Parents and students should contact Ms Denise Mroz or the SchoolCounsellor Ms Kathy Hooper for assistance in applying. Applications must be lodged withNESA by the end of term one 2018

VET Courses are based on Industry Training Packages and teach industry specific skills.These are competency based and allow a student to gain both HSC qualifications andAustralian Qualification Framework (AQF) accreditation. Students work to develop thecompetencies, skills and knowledge described in each Unit of Competency. To be assessedas competent a student must demonstrate to a qualified assessor that they can effectivelycarry out the various tasks and combinations of tasks listed to the standard required in theappropriate industry. Units of competency are assessed holistically as cluster tasks andstudents are assessed as either “competent” or “not yet competent” for individual units ofcompetency. Students are given the opportunity to develop skills over time and havemultiple opportunities to demonstrate competence to qualified assessors. Evidence ofcompetence will be gathered on an ongoing basis as well as at specific assessment events.Evidence will be collected through a range of assessment activities using direct, indirect andsupplementary methods. The achievement of units of competency by students determinesthe final vocational qualification that a student will achieve. Students may choose toundertake the optional HSC exam for a VET course for Australian Tertiary Admission Rank(ATAR) purposes. Schools must determine a HSC examination estimate which should bebased on two formal examinations during the 240 hour course. Therefore, in addition tocompetency assessment, students in VET courses must undertake preliminary yearly exams,HSC mid‐course and HSC trial exams to be used for this purpose. Students are also requiredto complete a minimum of 35 hours of mandatory work placement for each 2 units of a VETCurriculum Framework course studied.

Students must demonstrate they are serious candidates for the Higher School Certificate bytheir regular attendance at school and in lessons and through their satisfactory performancein assessment tasks. They must present themselves on time at the place specified for eachassessment task. Take home tasks must be submitted on the due date and time as specifiedon the assessment notification task.

Students must keep a copy of all their completed assessment tasks. Students are expectedto have a back –up digital copy of any work created digitally. Technology failure is not anacceptable excuse for missing an assessment due date.

All assessment tasks must be submitted with a cover sheet with a completed declaration ofAll My Own Work statement ( Appendix 1 )

8

Students who do not complete/submit an assessment task will be awarded zero. A NESA“N” determination Warning letter will automatically be sent. Students have the opportunityto submit the task and receive feedback.

Students absent from an assessment task need to inform the school before 8.30am on theday of the task. They must provide a medical certificate to the Head Teacher on the first daythey return to school. The medical certificate must be the original on letterhead, cannot bepost‐dated and must include date/s of the assessment task. The doctor’s certificate muststate a detailed reason for inability to attend and/or complete the task. The student mustattach this medical certificate to the Illness/Misadventure Application Form and submit toMs Cuke on the day they return to school. (Appendix 2). Spare copies of this form areavailable from Ms Cuke and can be found on the school’s website under the linkAssessment. The Head Teacher will determine what action will be taken (i.e. sit for theassessment task, arrange an alternative task, provide an estimate mark or otherrequirement).

Late submission of an assessment task. Students are required to submit work by the duedate, as these are known in advance. If there is evidence of illness/misadventure, studentsare to complete the Illness/misadventure application form and submit it to the HeadTeacher. Students who submit a task after the due date may be awarded a zero.

In some exceptional occasions, a student’s inability to meet assessment dates can beforeseen prior to the deadline. Examples include emerging clashes with major sportingevents, student leadership events and IMP and Performing Arts events or designatedoverseas school travel (e.g. East Timor Sister School Program). If this occurs it is thestudent’s responsibility to immediately contact Ms Cuke and the Head Teacher of thecourse concerned before the date of the task. An Illness Misadventure Application formmust be completed. The outcome will be decided by the Deputy Principal and Head Teacherafter considering the information provided.

Extended leave will not be granted during Formal examinations. Final decisions will bemade at the discretion of the Principal.

Students absent from an examination (Mid‐Course HSC or Trial HSC Exam) must ring theschool before 8.30am. Students need to provide a medical certificate for the day of themissed examination and attach it to the Illness/Misadventure Application Form. It must behanded to the Deputy Principal (Ms Cuke) on the first day they return to school. Studentsshould be familiar with the Examination Procedures (Appendix 3). The exam will berescheduled only within the exam period. The Head Teacher will determine what action willbe taken if rescheduling is not possible.

A zero mark is noted as a non‐attempt. If a student does not attempt tasks worth morethan 50% of the total assessment marks in that course, the Principal will not certify that thecourse has been satisfactorily studied.

9

Non‐ Serious or Non Attempts. Students should enter a HSC examination or complete an assessment task knowing they MUST make a genuine effort at the task or exam. NESA Rules and Procedures describe the requirements that students make a serious attempt to answer the examination questions. Failure to do so is called a non‐serious attempt or non‐attempt. A student’s task or exam is considered a non attempt if there is no evidence of academic engagement with the task or exam. Students are required to attempt a range of question types throughout the examination paper. It is not sufficient to answer multiple choice questions only. Merely rewriting the question is NOT considered to be an adequate attempt at the paper. A non‐serious attempt is where students write frivolous or objectionable material in response to the question. If a student is identified as providing non‐serious or non‐attempts they will be asked to justify why they should receive a result in the task or exam. The consequences may be significant and may include not receiving an award in that course and/or the award of HSC.

Malpractice is any activity undertaken by a student that allows them to gain an unfair

advantage over others. It includes plagiarism (to pass off words or ideas of another as one’s own OR to use another’s work without crediting source), or copying (using the work of another person and submitting it as your own), but is not limited to:

o copying someone else's work in part or in whole, and presenting it as their own o using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet without reference to

the source o building on the ideas of another person without reference to the source o buying, stealing or borrowing another person's work and presenting it as their own o submitting work to which another person such as a parent, coach or subject expert

has contributed substantially o using words, ideas, designs or the workmanship of others in practical and

performance tasks without appropriate acknowledgement o paying someone to write or prepare material o breaching school examination rules o using non‐approved aides during an assessment task o contriving false explanations to explain work not handed in by the due date o assisting another student to engage in malpractice.

Malpractice. Any student found to have plagiarised or to be guilty of any malpractice will be awarded zero. Malpractice of any sort will be dealt with according to the school’s discipline procedures. All students have completed the NESA course‐ All My Own Work at the end of 2015. Students should refer to the NESA website for further details on cheating & malpractice and its consequences. Schools are required to complete a Malpractice Register on the NESA site for all incidences of malpractice.

For students enrolling in the school/in courses after the beginning of Assessment 10

October 2017 (for example, at the beginning of 2018) the following applies: The student’s ranking in the course based on assessment tasks will be obtained by measuring the student’s performance in each task against the whole cohort and using that performance to calculate a mark for the missing assessment task(s). Final decisions will be made at the discretion of the Principal.

10

Students who are studying a subject at NSW School of Languages, Distance Education orSaturday School of Community Languages will be issued with separate HSC assessmentpolicies from these institutions. They should check with the supervising teacher(s) regularlyto ensure any information regarding assessment is received. All General Information on HSCassessment policy stated in this book still applies. Students of NSW School of Languagesmust ensure their study days and exam days are registered with the Rolls Administration.

COMMUNICATION OF RESULTS TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS

Individual Tasks

Each student should be given the raw mark for each task.

Results of Assessment Tasks, i.e. marks, can be queried only at the time the tasks arereturned. Objections raised after the task has left the classroom will not be considered. Inthe case of tests/assignments/essays etc., time should be given in class for students to checkadditions of marks and read comments to make an informed query. Should the query notbe resolved in class, the task should be collected and referred to the Head Teacher.

Invalid or Non Discriminating Tasks. If there are problems associated with theadministration of an assessment task or if the task is for an appropriate reason not deemedto be valid, an additional task may be allowed provided sufficient notice is given and theweightings may be adjusted accordingly.

Cumulative Progress (rank only) will be made available to students in each course aftereach assessment task

FAILURE TO COMPLETE NESA REQUIREMENTS

NSW Education Standards Authority requires all students to: ‐ follow the course set ‐ apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort ‐ achieve some or all of the course outcomes

Students who fail to complete NESA requirements will be sent an “N” DeterminationWarning letter. (N = non‐completion).

The “N” Determination Warning letter outlines the specific requirement that the studenthas not met and what action the student needs to take in order to redress the situation. Itwill also specify the time frame.An “N” Determination Warning letter is an opportunity for the student to improve.

11

The Board of Studies states that a minimum of two “N” Determination Warning letters in any subject may mean that the student will be declared unsatisfactory in that subject and receive an “N” determination. If that is the case, that subject will not count towards the award of the HSC.

The class teacher or Head Teacher will explain the reasons for issuing an “N” Determination Warning letter to the student. Parents are expected to return the response slip attached to the warning letter.

HSC ASSESSMENT RANK ORDER They can be accessed from Students Online using the student’s NESA number and PIN. The Assessment Ranks are available after the final HSC Examination If a student feels they have been incorrectly ranked in a course, talk to the Head Teacher immediately. If you are still not satisfied that your ranking is correct, you can apply to the school for a review. In this review, the school will consider whether it:

1. weighted its assessment tasks in line with the NESA requirements 2. complied with its stated assessment program when deciding your final

assessment mark 3. miscalculated or made a clerical error when deciding your assessment mark.

If you are still not satisfied that your ranking is correct, you can apply to your principal for a review.

In this review, the school will consider whether it:

If you want to apply for a review, you must do this before our cut‐off date. Your school will tell you

the review outcome and inform us if your assessment marks should change.

You can appeal to NESA if you are unhappy with your school’s response. The cut off date is two

days after the final HSC Examination.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of the school’s review, you can ask your principal to lodge

an appeal with NESA. We will only consider whether the school’s review was:

adequate for deciding items 1–3 above

done properly.

NESA will not revise assessment marks or rank order. If they uphold the appeal, they will ask the

school to correct any errors.

12

FORMAL EXAMINATION SESSIONS FOR HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE STUDENTS 2018 In 2018 HSC will have two internal formal examination sessions. The exam timetable will be published for students and parents five weeks in advance. Each student receives a personalised timetable and students are encouraged to keep a digital copy as well as the hard copy provided by the school The Formal Internal Examination Sessions for 2018:

Mid – Course Examinations Monday 2‐13 April Trial Higher School Certificate Examinations Monday 13 ‐24 August A copy of the Examination Procedures is included in this booklet. (Appendix 4) ABSENCE OR TRAVELLING FOR HOLIDAYS DURING EXAMINATIONS HSC students are aware of the weeks for all assessment tasks and dates of formal examinations 12 months in advance. They are gazetted on the school’s website, in Sentral and all calendar information distributed to students.
