Section A: Board of StudiesEligibilitySatisfactory completion of the Preliminary course or its equivalent is a prerequisite for entry into HSC course. In cases of non-completion of course requirements, an ‘N’ determination will be submitted on the appropriate forms. Courses that were not satisfactorily completed will not be printed on Records of Achievement.
The Extension courses in English and Mathematics comprise 60 hours Preliminary, 60 hours HSC Extension course 1 and 60 hours HSC Extension course 2. HSC Extension course 1 may not be completed without completion of the Preliminary Extension course. HSC Extension course 2 may not be completed without completion of the Preliminary Extension course and HSC Extension course 1. With the exception of VET, in all other subjects where Extension courses are available, they comprise a 60-hour HSC course, which may not be commenced until the related Preliminary course has been completed.
Principals may allow a student who has received an ‘N’ determination to proceed to the HSC course provisionally while concurrently satisfying any outstanding Preliminary course requirements. Principals will be required to confirm, at the time of HSC entries, that the student has now satisfactorily completed Preliminary course requirements and that their entry for the HSC course is valid.
Satisfactory Completion of a CourseCourse completion CriteriaA student will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the principal’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:
a) followed the course developed or endorsed by the Board; and
b) applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the course by the school; and
c) achieved some or all of the course outcomes.Patterns of studyTo qualify for the Higher School Certificate, Year 11 2013, and Year 12 2014, 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 from Board Developed courses; at least two units of a Board Developed course in English; at least three courses of two units value or greater (either board Developed or Board
Endorsed courses); at least four subjects.
To satisfy pattern of study requirements for the Higher School Certificate a student may count a maximum of six Preliminary units and six HSC units from courses in Science.While the Board of Studies does not mandate attendance requirements, the Principal may determine that, as a result of absence, the course completion criteria may not be met. Students whose attendance is called into question will be required to prove to the principal’s satisfaction, following a review of their performance, that they are meeting the course completion criteria. Clearly, absences will be regarded seriously by the Principal who must give students early warning of the consequences of such absences. Warning letters must relate students’ absence to the non-completion of course requirements.

Board of Studies Requirements for Internal AssessmentSchool Internal Assessment ProgramUsing the assessment requirements in the syllabus, schools must develop an internal assessment program for each course that:
specifies the assessment tasks and the weighting for each task provides a schedule of the tasks for the course.
Schools must also establish procedures that will apply to the assessment programs for all courses. These procedures are detailed in this booklet.
Assessment of Preliminary CoursesThe principal will certify that students have satisfactorily completed Preliminary courses. Satisfactory completion includes achievement of some or all of the course outcomes.
In Preliminary courses, the components, weightings and tasks in the syllabus are advisory and may be varied to suit school needs. These are outlined in this booklet. The components, weightings & tasks are different for different subjects.
Assessment of VET coursesVET courses are competency based. No internal assessment mark is required for these courses. The Board and the Vocational Education and Training Accreditation Board (VETAB) require that for each student a competency-based approach to assessment is used and that the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) of the competencies achieved by students hold a record.
In a competency-based course, assessment of competencies is criterion referenced. Thus a student’s performance is judged against a prescribed standard, not against the performance of other students.
The purpose of assessment is to judge competence on the basis of performance. A student is judged as either competent or not yet competent. This judgement is made on the basis of evidence, which may be in a variety of forms.
At this College the following VET courses are offeredFRAMEWORK1. Business Services2. Hospitality3. Information Technology4. Retail Studies
NON FRAMEWORK1. Aged Care Nursing, Nursing
Assistant
These courses have a mandatory work placement requirement.
Record of School AchievementThe Record of School Achievement (RoSA) is the new credential for students who leave school after Year 10 and before they receive their Higher School Certificate (HSC).
As part of the RoSA, schools award students grades based on their achievements in the Stage 5 and Preliminary courses they complete. Teachers already award A to E grades for Stage 5 courses, and from 2013 they will also be awarding grades for Preliminary courses.
Only students who leave school and who satisfy eligibility requirements for the RoSA will receive the formal credential. Students who leave school and who are not eligible for a RoSA will be able to receive a Transcript of Study when they choose to end their secondary studies. The Transcript of Study will contain the same information as the RoSA for courses satisfactorily completed. The following words will appear at the bottom of the Transcript of Study – Not eligible for a Record of School Achievement. If a student starts a course but leaves school before completing it, their RoSA will show evidence of their enrolment. A RoSA will also show results of any VET or Life Skills courses completed in Year 10 and/or Year 11.
5BANKSTOWN SENIOR COLLEGE – Prelim Assessment Handbook 2013NSW Department of Education & Communities – Schools CRICOS Provider Code
All students will also have access to a record of their grades through Students Online.
Students who receive their HSC will be able to receive a RoSA at the same time as their HSC, detailing their achievement in their earlier years of study.
To qualify for the RoSA a student must have:• attended a government school, an accredited non-government school or a recognised school
outside NSW• completed courses of study that satisfy the Board’s curriculum and assessment requirements
for the RoSA• complied with all requirements imposed by the Minister or the Board and• completed Year 10.
The Common Grade ScaleTeachers will use the Common Grade Scale for Preliminary Courses for all Board Developed and Board Endorsed Courses to determine grades. The grade descriptions are derived from the knowledge, skills and understandings developed in Stage 6 syllabuses and provide a general description of typical performance at each grade level, A to E.
The Common Grade Scale describes performance at each of five grade levels.
A
The student demonstrates extensive knowledge of content and understanding of course concepts, and applies highly developed skills and processes in a wide variety of contexts. In addition the student demonstrates creative and critical thinking skills using perceptive analysis and evaluation. The student effectively communicates complex ideas and information.
BThe student demonstrates thorough knowledge of content and understanding of course concepts, and applies well-developed skills and processes in a variety of contexts. In addition the student demonstrates creative and critical thinking skills using analysis and evaluation. The student clearly communicates complex ideas and information.
CThe student demonstrates sound knowledge of content and understanding of course concepts, and applies skills and processes in a range of familiar contexts. In addition the student demonstrates skills in selecting and integrating information and communicates relevant ideas in an appropriate manner.
DThe student demonstrates a basic knowledge of content and understanding of course concepts, and applies skills and processes in some familiar contexts. In addition the student demonstrates skills in selecting and using information and communicates ideas in a descriptive manner.
E
The student demonstrates an elementary knowledge of content and understanding of course concepts, and applies some skills and processes with guidance. In addition the student demonstrates elementary skills in recounting information and communicating ideas.
Preliminary students will be given a grade for each Preliminary subject they complete.
Literacy and Numeracy Tests
As part of the suite of RoSA initiatives, students intending to leave school will be able to take optional, online literacy and numeracy tests. The tests focus on the literacy and numeracy skills required by school leavers for employment and further education.There will be one test for literacy and one test for numeracy with concepts drawn from the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) developed and endorsed by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). Each test consists of 60 multiple-choice questions and will be 60 minutes long.
6BANKSTOWN SENIOR COLLEGE – Prelim Assessment Handbook 2013NSW Department of Education & Communities – Schools CRICOS Provider Code
The tests will be reported separately from the Record of School Achievement. They are not a requirement for the award of the credential.

SECTION B: PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT POLICYThe Purpose and Scope of AssessmentTowards the end of Year 11 this College will certify that students have satisfactorily completed their courses. The college will conduct a number of assessment tasks to test the mandatory components set for each subject. Assessments are designed to measure achievements in a wider range of syllabus objectives than can be measured in an examination. They measure performance in the whole course, but do not take into account interest, attitudes or conduct.General Policy and Procedures1. The date for commencement of assessments may vary from course to course but all courses will
include tasks completed or tested only during the Preliminary course.2. The nature of assessment tasks will be determined by the College and may vary from year to
year.3. A Student Assessment Booklet will be issued for the benefit of students before formal
assessments commence. This booklet will include this policy and individual subject guides providing information on what is to be assessed; how it will be assessed; approximate timing of extra tasks, the relative value of each task.
4. At least two week’s notice will be given in writing before the exact due date of an assessment task.
5. There will be a moratorium on all assessment tasks the week prior to formal exams.6. Students will be given meaningful feedback on their performance in each task. This will normally
be in the form of an indication of student ranking on the task and a written descriptive statement indicating outcomes students have or have not attained.
7. Records will be kept within each subject area of student achievement in all assessment tasks.8. When there is more than one class to be assessed in the same course, a variety of methods may
be used to compare performances across the group including: the setting of common tasks, moderation of marks, team marking, using samples of student work as ‘bench marks’.
9. Assessment is based on actual performance not potential performance. There will therefore be no compensation for extended illness and misadventure or for domestic problems that may affect a student’s performance during the course.
10. Non-completion of an assessment taskA student who fails to submit or is absent from an assessment task WILL HAVE A “0” MARK RECORDED for that task, UNLESS a valid reason with appropriate documentation is provided. (Eg illness or endorsed leave).Any student who fails to complete an assessment task on the due date must see the subject Head Teacher on their FIRST DAY back to College with all supporting documentation to validate their absence (doctor’s certificate, letter from a government department. etc.). The subject Head Teacher will make a decision, in consultation with the class teacher, on the legitimacy of the reason and inform the student of the result.All assessment tasks still need to be submitted regardless of late submission. The late task will still be marked and feedback given even though a zero mark has been awarded. A “Late Assessment Task” notification slip will be attached to the late assessment task (see booklet P7). In the case where a student’s absence from a task is deemed legitimate, the task, a substitute task or even, in exceptional circumstances, an estimate, based on other evidence, may be given. Students who fail to submit a task will receive a warning letter from the subject teacher and will have 3 days to respond. Failure to follow the above procedure will result in “0” mark.
8BANKSTOWN SENIOR COLLEGE – Prelim Assessment Handbook 2013NSW Department of Education & Communities – Schools CRICOS Provider Code
HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHOULD BE NOTED:Students should not make appointments at times that they know have been scheduled for an assessment task – this will never be deemed as a LEGITIMATE reason for absence.Assignments that are handed in late (beyond the final publicised date for submission) without a negotiated and approved extension will be awarded a “0”. HOWEVER, to fulfil the requirements of the course the student must complete all set tasks including the missed assessment task. The student may submit a ‘Request for Consideration’, but the granting of such privileges will be rare.A register is kept by the Executive Officer of Appeals that go before the Assessment Review Panel which records information on all students who submit a ‘Request for Consideration’. This register may be consulted when considering the legitimacy of an absence.If a Doctor’s Certificate is presented as evidence it must state that the student was unfit to participate in the particular Preliminary Assessment Task at the scheduled time.Students must phone the College if they are going to be absent from an assessment task or are unable to present an assignment on the due date. The student must give the following details to the office:
I. Their name & YearII. The task being missedIII. The reason for missing the taskIV. Their expected date of return
For an assignment/project task over an extended period the Doctor’s Certificate would have to indicate a long-term illness over the majority of time given to complete the tasks.10. Students will be given warnings in writing if they are approaching failure to complete the 50% level of Assessment tasks in any subject.11. Marks on documents such as half-yearly and yearly reports are only indicators of achievement and may only partially contribute to the final assessment.12. MalpracticeIf a student is found guilty of an act of malpractice (for example taking prohibited materials such as notes, a programmable calculator etc. into an exam room) or of plagiarism* (See page 60) then the student will have imposed a penalty determined by the Head Teacher of that subject. Students may appeal against the decision to the Assessment Review Panel on a ‘Request for Consideration’ form (page 17).13. Students enrolling before June 30th will have their school assessment calculated from Bankstown Senior College. The sending school is to provide assessment marks for Preliminary courses for students who transfer after June 30th. The marks will be developed from assessment information collected during the students’ period at the school.
* Examples of plagiarism are: Copying, buying, stealing or borrowing someone else’s work in part or in whole and
presenting it as their own. Using material directly from books, journals, CD’s or the internet without acknowledging
the source. Submitting work that contains a large contribution from another person e.g. a parent or
subject coach that is not acknowledged. Paying someone to write or prepare material that is associated with a task.
9BANKSTOWN SENIOR COLLEGE – Prelim Assessment Handbook 2013NSW Department of Education & Communities – Schools CRICOS Provider Code
REVIEW PROCESS FOR INDIVIDUAL TASKSThe principal will select the members of the Assessment Review Panel. The panel will consist of at least three members: an Executive Officer (fixed position), the Head Teacher of the subject concerned and the Year Adviser. If the Executive officer is also the Head Teacher concerned then a reserve executive member will be selected.Any student has a right to appeal the decision of the Head Teacher by lodging a “Request for Consideration” form with that Head Teacher to be forwarded to the Assessment Review Panel.If the Review Panel accepts the legitimacy of the request then the Head Teacher of the subject will either.
Set an alternative task or Arrange for an estimate mark to be made for missed examination which will not be greater
than the average mark for all previous Assessment task of the other students in that examination
If the student has been absent for previous tasks and examinations then the estimate will reflect this situation
The Assessment Review panel will: Adjudicate on all ‘Request for Consideration’ forms submitted; Review appeals against final assessment marks and ranks; Review of assessment gradings will not involve reconsideration of the teacher’s
judgement of the worth of individual assessment tasks. It will only consider procedures for determining the final assessment mark.
REVIEW PROCESS OR “N” DETERMINATIONStudents may appeal in writing to the Principal against “N determination” decisions concerning aspects of the award of Record of Achievement.Procedures for students with non-completion of course determinationIf a student fails to complete any course work a formal “N” (non-completion) warning letter will be issued. Students who receive “N” warning letters will be sent a letter outlining the time for an appointment with the Assessment Panel. The Assessment Panel will consist of the Assessment Coordinator, the Year Advisor, and possibly a student (from the SRC) and the class teacher if she/he wishes to attend.Before the interview students must:
Complete the work indicated on your ‘program for improvement’ found on the “N” warning letter
Show the work to your class teacher and Head Teacher and get them to sign the ‘program for improvement’ slip.
At the interview students: Must bring the signed ‘program for improvement’ slip and acknowledgement of
receipt from each warning letter. Will discuss their progress and the most appropriate course of action determined May be given a further program for improvement/ letter warning or other action
as deemed appropriate by the Panel.Any student who does not comply with this process by:
Not participating in the interviews Not completing and submitting outstanding work Failing to negotiate with class teacher and/or Head Teacher
will be sent an official Warning of Expulsion letter for non-serious participation by post-compulsory age students.

Business Services is a Vocational Education and Training (VET) course and assessment is competency- based using South West Sydney region validated holistic assessment tasks (cluster assessments) reflecting the standard of relevant industries. Competency based assessment is largely activity based and practical. However competency also implies that an individual displays an understanding of the knowledge that underpins the practical performance of a task. Students must successfully attempt all units of competency and it is important to recognise that you cannot be accredited with units towards your Preliminary and HSC course completion without the successful completion of 70 hours of work-placement over 7 terms. The HSC examination is optional but can be used as part of an ATAR if only one VET course has been nominated for the HSC examinations.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK(240 HOURS)
Information Technology is a Vocational Education and Training (VET) course. Assessment is based on testing whether students have achieved the outcomes of each module. When they have achieved the outcomes of a module, they are deemed to be competent in that module. Once a student has proven their competency in every module of the 2-year course they will receive Certificate II Information Technology. A student may choose to sit for the HSC IT exam in which case the IT mark will contribute to the student’s ATAR.
