GENERAL INFORMATION

1. INTRODUCTION This booklet aims to give students, parents and caregivers information about assessment for the Higher School Certificate Course. Some students are already aware of the career path they wish to follow. Many students have not decided on a career and changing job demands will mean they may have to alter their career direction while still in training. The Board of Studies has recognised these problems and is now giving students (age 15-19 years or more) the opportunity to complete their HSC over a period of up to 5 years.

2. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE The New South Wales Board of Studies has the power to award the credential titled “The Higher School Certificate”. To be eligible for this award, students must comply with the entry requirements, course restrictions and rules and regulations established by the Board of Studies. Eligibility requirements for the Higher School Certificate To be eligible for the award of the Higher School Certificate students must have: (i) gained the RoSA or such other qualifications as the Board of Studies considers satisfactory (ii) satisfactorily completed courses that comprise the pattern of study required by the Board for the award of the Higher School Certificate (iv) sat for and made a serious attempt at the required Higher School Certificate examinations. All students undertaking one or more Preliminary or HSC courses must first complete the HSC: All My Own Work program in ethical scholarship. This program is delivered through the school and will assist students to understand their rights and responsibilities in HSC assessment. Pattern of study To qualify for the Higher School Certificate Students must satisfactorily complete a Preliminary pattern of study comprising at least 12 units and an HSC pattern of study comprising at least 10 units. Both patterns must include: • at least six units of Board Developed Courses • at least two units of a Board Developed Course in English • at least three courses of two-unit value or greater • no more than 6 units of courses in Science, and • at least four subjects.

5


Accumulation of the Higher School Certificate Students may accumulate HSC courses towards the Higher School Certificate over a period of up to five years. Preliminary courses may also be accumulated. The five-year period is counted from the first year you satisfactorily complete an HSC course. It will apply regardless of whether you defer your studies for one or more years during the five-year period. Accumulation of HSC courses cannot extend beyond a five-year period. The 5 year option allows students access to a range of studies and means they can study full time or part time and deal with other choices, such as sporting careers, travel, working opportunities. This opportunity establishes a number of Pathways each of which offer students access to a more flexible pattern of study that can result in the award of an HSC. This booklet explains the requirements for the Year 11 Preliminary Courses. Each student who sits for the HSC must satisfactorily complete 12 Units of Preliminary Courses. At the end of this Booklet is a checklist of Preliminary Course Requirements. You should make sure that you can meet all of these requirements.

3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS If you have a medical condition which is an ongoing disability that will, in a normal examination situation prevent you from: (a) Reading and interpreting the examination questions and/or (b) Communicating knowledge or understanding to an examiner as effectively as a student without that disability. You must see your Deputy Principal / Year Advisor / School Counsellor to obtain a form for “Special Provisions” early Term 1. If this condition occurs later in the year it must be registered with the Deputy Principal.

SCHOOL ASSESSMENT POLICY

4. INTRODUCTION The Kingsgrove North High School Preliminary Higher School Certificate Assessment Policy is designed to standardise procedures between subject areas and to give students and teachers a clear statement of their rights and responsibilities. It is the responsibility of the school to communicate the assessment requirements to the students. It is the responsibility of the students to meet the requirements and to make every effort to resolve problems and/or disputes. Please read this policy carefully and make sure you understand it. All students must sign to acknowledge that they have received this booklet. What is HSC assessment? Assessment is the process of gathering information and making judgements about student achievement for a variety of purposes. In the Preliminary and HSC courses those purposes include:

• assisting student learning • evaluating and improving teaching and learning programs • providing evidence of satisfactory achievement and completion of a course • provide information on student learning and progress in a course in relation

to the syllabus outcomes • report on the achievement by each student at the end of a course.

It is a requirement Preliminary/HSC school assessment program that for each course the school must establish a program of assessment tasks. These tasks are conducted throughout the preliminary year (Year 11) and then in Year 12. Each has a weighting determined by the school with guidelines provided by the Board of Studies. The preliminary course commences in term 1 to term 3. From term 4 year 11 students will then commence Year 12 assessment tasks in all subjects. The tasks will determine each students assessment mark which is a measure of each students achievements relative to the performance of other students in the same course at KNHS. The Higher School Certificate will show two marks for each course: the exam mark and a HSC moderated assessment mark.

7


Purpose of HSC Assessment The purpose of school assessment for HSC students is to provide an indication of student achievement based on:

• a wider range of syllabus outcomes than may be measured by a single HSC exam; and

• multiple measures of observations made throughout the HSC, giving students credit for what they have achieved throughout their courses, in addition to their final exam.

Satisfactory Completion of Preliminary and Higher School Certificate courses. Students are considered to have satisfactorily completed a course, in the Principal’s view, there sufficient evidence that they have met the following criteria. They must have:

1. followed the course developed by BOS 2. applied themselves with due diligence and sustained effort to the tasks and

experiences provided by the school, and 3. achieved most or all of the course outcomes

indicators of possible failure for students to apply themselves and fulfil course requirements to the schools satisfaction include:

• an excessive rate and absences or lateness in a course; • an excessive rate of absences or lateness to school; • failure to submit assessment tasks; • poor achievement caused by lack of application; • failure to complete classwork and/or homework; • proven case of copying, plagiarism or cheating.

If at any stage during the course it appears that a student is not meeting the course outcomes, a BOS pink warning letter will be sent home. The purpose of this letter is:

• to give students a warning in time to correct the area of concern and/or • to clarify their current status regarding an unsatisfactory designation.

Where it is determined that a student has not satisfactorily completed a course, that student will not receive any results in that course. Board of Studies Website It is recommended that all students access this Website. Students will be able to access syllabuses, past papers, sample responses and support material for all their courses.

5. ASSESSMENT POLICY PROCEDURES – Student responsibilities

Expectations of students

Attendance

Students must attend all classes to satisfactorily complete the HSC course. A minimum of 85% attendance is generally expected for students to achieve the outcomes of the courses being studied.

Diligence

It is expected that students prepare for exams and make a serious attempt. Students must work with sustained effort and due diligence in all aspects of each course.

Syllabus requirements It is expected that students complete the syllabus, including participation in class, practical work, oral presentations, homework, assignments and exams.

Sustained application Students must make a genuine attempt at ALL assessment tasks. Failure to complete less than 50% of assessment tasks will result immediately in an ‘N’ Determination for that course. Students who do not comply with assessment requirements will not have a moderated assessment mark or an Exam mark awarded. (ACE Manual BOSTES website)

Absence: Notification of assessment tasks

A minimum of two (2) weeks’ notice will be given to students of coming tasks as published in this handbook. Students who are absent from class on the day that an Assessment Task Notification is issued, must see the teacher to receive the notification.

Procedures for students when absent from tasks

If a student is absent from school during the time an Assessment Task is to be done, the following procedures must be followed.

6.1 The student or a responsible adult MUST contact the school by telephone (9502 3933) or fax (9554 3907) or email or make a personal representation at the school, prior to the time designated for the start or receipt of the assessment task and notify the Course Coordinator or Head Teacher responsible for the course, of the student’s inability to be present at that time.

9


6.2 IMMEDIATELY upon the student’s first return to school, the student MUST present to the Course Co-ordinator or the Head Teacher responsible for the course, documentation supporting the legitimacy of the absence.

6.3 In the case of illness, the documentation should be in the form of a Medical Practitioner’s Certificate which states the exact nature of the illness and the fact that the illness caused the student to be unfit for the task completion. Medical Certificates should not be back dated.

6.4 In the event of unavoidable but necessary delay, appropriate and acceptable documentary evidence justifying the extenuating circumstances, must be supplied. (See Rule 7.2 following).

6.5 In the case of immediate illness or misadventure at the time of performing any Assessment task, it is the responsibility of the student to obtain and complete and Illness/ Misadventure Form from the Head Teachers/ Deputy Principal. Again, when necessary, these forms must be accompanied by appropriate and acceptable documentation.

6.6 Medical Certificates will be expected IMMEDIATELY UPON THE STUDENT’S RETURN. Other forms of documentation would be preferred immediately upon the student’s return, but will be expected as soon as possible and within what is considered reasonable time. The medical certificate must be attached to the Misadventure form which can be collected from either the Deputy Principal’s or Head Teachers.

Completion of the missed task

7.1 It is the responsibility of the student immediately upon the first return to

school, to contact the Course Co-ordinator or Head Teacher responsible for the task, in order to establish the time and location for the completion of the task requirements.

7.2 The student will complete any task or alternative task on the first appropriate occasion after returning to school. The time and location for the completion of the task will be determined by the Course Co-ordinator or the Head Teacher responsible for the task. The student will then be responsible for attending at that time and location in order to complete task requirements.

7.3 The nature, the format or even the need for a replacement or additional task will be the prerogative of the Course Co-ordinator or even the Principal. This could result in the original task being replaced with an estimate as occurs with students who enter a course late.

Medical Certificates Medical certificates will be expected immediately upon the return of the student and attached to the Illness/Misadventure form. The medical certificate must:

10


• Be written on a named Doctor’s pad; • Include the date of the missed tasks; • Should show the nature of the illness; • State that the student is “unable to complete the preliminary/HSC

assessment Task”. It is the students responsibility to bring this to the attention of the medical practitioner, and

• Show the length of time the student will be unfit for school.

N Award Warning letters BOS warning letters are issued to students and their parents/caregivers if students are in danger of not meeting the Course Completion Criteria in any course. The BOS requires the school to issue official warning letters in order to give the student the opportunity to redeem themselves. A minimum of two course specific warnings must be issued prior to the final “N” (non-completion) determination being made for the course.

The Illness/Misadventure process does not cover:

• Students who attend other organised functions, including sporting competitions, does not constitute cause for missing or postponing an assessment task. If attendance at such events is deemed necessary, it is the responsibility of the student to inform the Course Co-ordinator before the commencement of the assessment task and to arrange alternative processes in order to fulfil assessment requirements.

• Students who have an unauthorised absence (no valid explanation, no documents, etc.)

• Misreading the exam timetable and/or misreading of Exam instructions

Submission of assessment tasks

• All assessment tasks due on a particular day are to be handed in by 8.45am

on the due date. Late tasks will have 25% of the students mark deducted.

• In class assessments: Any student found to be absent from classes on the day when an in class assessment occurs or arriving unduly date but in time for the class assessment will also have 25% of the final mark deducted.

• Any student deemed to have gained an advantage through any means will be referred to the Course Coordinator/Head Teacher who will consider what award will be given for the task (this could be zero).

• It is the responsibility of the student after an absence, or even during an extended absence, to determine if any tasks have been notified. Additional time will not be granted except in extenuating circumstances.

11


• Assessments are to be handed in, using the requested format by the faculty. The assessment checklist is to be submitted with the assessment.

• Any student who fails to submit or complete an assessment task will have

her/his parents/guardians notified by letter. Four copies of the letter will be kept. Copies will be distributed to the: Subject Head Teacher; Supervising Deputy Principal; the individual student’s records; the student’s parents/ guardians.

12


If the Illness/Misadventure Application is accepted

The Head Teacher of that course will do one of the following:

• arrange for an extension of time for submission. • arrange for completion of the same task at a different time. • arrange for the completion of an alternative task. • arrange for an estimate (if authorised by the Principal).

If the Illness/Misadventure Application is NOT accepted:

The student will be awarded a zero mark and a BOS warning letter will be sent home to advise the parents/carers.

Students may appeal against the Head Teacher’s decision by lodging an appeal form with the Principal within three (3) days of initial determination.

The principal may:

• Reject the appeal and order the zero to stand;

• Grant a limited extension;

• Order that a substitute task be performed;

• Award an estimate.

Procedures relating to Malpractice

All work presented in assessment tasks and external examinations (including submitted works and practical examinations) must be your own or must be acknowledged appropriately. Malpractice, including plagiarism, could lead to you receiving zero marks and will jeopardise your HSC results. Malpractice is any activity that allows you to gain an unfair advantage over other students. It includes, but is not limited to:

• copying someone else’s work in part or in whole, and presenting it as your own

• using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet without reference to the source

• building on the ideas of another person without reference to the source

• buying, stealing or borrowing another person’s work and presenting it as your own

• submitting work to which another person, such as a parent, coach or subject expert, has contributed substantially

• using words, ideas, designs or the workmanship of others in practical and performance tasks without appropriate acknowledgement

• paying someone to write or prepare material • breaching school examination rules • using non-approved aids during an assessment task • contriving false explanations to explain work not handed in by the due

date • assisting another student to engage in malpractice.

13


(Rules and Procedures for HSC candidates)

Should an assessment task be corrupted through malpractice, the Principal may deem it necessary to organize a substitute assessment task to ensure equity and fairness. Malpractice, including plagiarism is cheating and a zero mark will be awarded. It will not be tolerated at Kingsgrove North High School.

Student behaviour during assessment tasks, including Exams

During assessment tasks students must behave in a way that does not distract other students from their work during the Task. Disruption to the Assessment Task in any way will result in parents/guardians being informed of such attempts by letter. A Zero will be awarded if any of the following behaviours are witnessed during an Assessment task including Exams:

• Cheating in any way • Communicating with another student • Takes notes or electronic devices such as mobile phones into the room

or • Makes a non-serious attempt.

Teacher absence when assessment is due.

If the class teacher is absent on the day an assessment task is due for submission then the student must hand the task to the appropriate Head Teacher (or her/his representative if she/he or the class teacher is absent) and collect a receipt. If a teacher is absent on the day for which an assessment task is set, the Head Teacher or her/ his representative will make every endeavour to ensure the task is given. If this is not possible the task will be postponed until a new date can be determined and set.

14


Disputes and their resolution Disputes regarding assessments should be resolved as soon as possible and

must be notified to the Course Co-ordinator within one (1) week of the assessment result being announced. If necessary, the process for resolution, in order, should be:

• The class teacher concerned.

• The Head Teacher of the subject.

• The Student Adviser.

• The School Assessment Review Panel (for a final decision). Students may not dispute the type and nature of assessment tasks or the

teacher’s professional judgement relating to the allocation of marks for tasks. Areas for potential dispute could be:

• Failing to notify that a task is assessable.

• Not including a notified task in the assessment marks.

• Student(s) gaining an unfair advantage as a result of cheating, prior knowledge or unauthorised time extension.

Late entry into course – Transfer or Repeats Students transferring from another school will begin their assessments upon

arriving at this school. Any students involved in exchange programs will also commence their assessment upon their return.

Where a student repeats or transfers from another school during the

assessment process, the following procedure will be used to calculate the student’s assessment mark:

• Total the marks for all tasks completed from the student’s arrival using the weightings in the Course Assessment Policy.

• Find the new student’s rank from this total.

• Total the marks for the whole assessment program across the Preliminary course excluding the new student. Rank the rest of the students on this total using the weightings as documented.

• Assign the student a mark based on the rank calculated in Step 31.2

15


Review of Assessments

Students will be informed of their results for all tasks but must be aware that most tasks are not necessarily marked according to the mark value shown in the subject assessment summary information. For example, a task with an assessment schedule marks value of “10” could be marked out of “20” marks. Students should be concerned more with their ranking within the school’s subject group and the relative difference between their own and other students’ assessments rather than with numerical marks. It is also possible to have an assessment reviewed if the student believes the school did not follow procedures similar to those indicated in the published Assessment Program for that subject, or where clerical errors in the determination of the Assessment Mark have occurred. Any review of an assessment must be resolved within three (3) weeks of the notification of the assessment result. Reviews will NOT involve consideration of any teacher’s assessment of the value of a student’s work in any of the tasks on which assessment has been based.

The Review Panel The composition of the School Assessment Review Panel will be as follows: Principal

The supervising Deputy Principal The Year Advisor Two (2) Head Teachers

Five (5) will be available with a minimum of only three (3) to meet and sit on any review.

17. Vocational Education and Training (VET)

ULTIMO RTO 90072 VET COURSE ASSESSMENT SCHEDULES Vocational Education and Training (VET) Courses - Preliminary 2017 – HSC 2018

Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are offered as part of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or Record of School Achievement (RoSA). VET courses are designed to deliver workplace-specific skills and knowledge and cover a wide range of careers and industries. VET courses for secondary students are developed by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and are based on national training packages.

VET courses allow students to gain both HSC or RoSA qualifications and a qualification recognised throughout Australian as part of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). These qualifications are widely recognised by industry, employers and tertiary training providers e.g. TAFENSW and Universities and will assist students to move easily between various education and training sectors and employment.

Public Schools NSW, Ultimo operates as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to deliver and assess VET qualifications to secondary students.

Board Developed VET courses are classified as Category B subjects and ONLY ONE may contribute to the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). These courses have an optional HSC examination. Students wishing to include a VET course in the ATAR calculation must sit the HSC examination.

Board Developed VET courses have specified workplace requirement and include industry specific mandatory work placement (70 hours) or occasionally simulated workplace hours at school.

Board Endorsed VET Courses do count towards the HSC or RoSA but do not have HSC examinations therefore can’t count in the calculations of the ATAR. Board Endorsed VET Courses have either mandatory or recommended industry specific work placement.

Assessment in all VET courses is competency based. The student is assessed on what they can do (the skills) and what they know (the knowledge) that will equip them in the workplace. Students who have successfully achieved competency will have the skills and knowledge they need to complete workplace activities in a range of different situations and environments, to an industry standard of performance that is expected in the workplace.

Competency-based assessment materials are designed to ensure that each learner has achieved all the outcomes (skills and knowledge). Competency-based training is based on performance standards that have been set by industry. VET COURSES ARE ASSESSED AS A CLUSTER TASK OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

Students will receive documentation showing the competencies achieved for the VET course undertaken.

NESA has mandated work placement as a requirement of the HSC. Students must achieve the hours of work placement required for the course undertaken. They are required to complete a minimum of 35 hours of mandatory work placement for each 2 Units of a VET curriculum framework course studies. For a 240 hour course (2yrs x2units) this would equate to 70 hours work placement.


60


The rules and processes related to an ‘N’ award for a Board Developed Course and a Board Endorsed Course are applicable to students undertaking a VET course. More information can be found in the Assessment, Certification and Examination (ACE) manual.
