PRELIMINARY COURSE ASSESSMENT 2016

Information for Students and Parents

Introduction

Students undertaking study for the Higher School Certificate have to complete two components for each course - a Preliminary Course and a Higher School Certificate (HSC) Course. Satisfactory completion of the Preliminary course is a prerequisite for entry into an HSC Course. The New Higher School Certificate uses a standards-referenced approach for assessing and reporting student achievement. Teachers will provide more detailed information about the actual HSC examination for each subject as the course progresses. Half yearly and Trial Preliminary examinations will follow Board of Studies examination specifications. This booklet is designed to help you plan for the assessments in your PRELIMINARY. It informs you of all the tasks, the date they are due, the weighting of each task and the outcomes being assessed in each task.

Timing of Preliminary and HSC Courses

Preliminary courses will generally be studied by Year 11 students during Terms 1, 2 and 3. All Preliminary course work in a subject must be completed satisfactorily to be eligible for the award of the Year 11 Record of Achievement and / or HSC. The Board of Studies requires the school Principal to certify satisfactory completion. Assessment of HSC courses begins in Term 4 after Week 5.

The final date for students to change a Preliminary course is the end of Week 4, Term 4. Students must complete the subject change form in consultation with the year adviser. This form requires a parent signature and discussion with Head Teachers of the faculties involved. If subjects are changed, students must check that they remain eligible for the HSC and ATAR if seeking one.

Separate arrangements will be made in consultation with the Year Adviser and Deputy Principal, for students accumulating the HSC over several years.

Assessment of Preliminary courses Assessment is carried out by schools for the Board of Studies (BOSTES). It consists of assessment tasks in each subject. Assessment tasks are designed to give students credit for:

Aspects of their courses which may not be tested in formal examinations, e.g. practical skills, research skills, field studies and oral skills etc.

Achievement throughout the whole of the course rather than an isolated examination at the end of the course.

HSC Courses will begin in Term 4 for Year 11 students who have satisfactorily completed their Preliminary courses, and continue during Terms 1, 2 and 3 of Year 12.

Page | 4

Separate arrangements will be made for students on Pathway, accumulating the HSC over several years.

Requirements for the Award of the HSC To be eligible for the award of the HSC, students must have satisfactorily completed courses that meet the pattern of study required by the Board of Studies (BOSTES).

To qualify, students must satisfactorily complete the Preliminary pattern of study comprising at least 12 units and a HSC pattern of study comprising at least 10 units. Both the Preliminary course and the HSC course patterns must include:

at least 6 units from Board Developed Courses

at least 2 units of a Board Developed Course in English

at least three courses of 2 units value or greater (either Board Developed or Board Endorsed)

at least four subjects,

students may not include any more than 6 units of the following Science courses: Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Environmental Science, Physics & Senior Science in meeting the 12 Preliminary or 10 HSC units.

Senior Science may not be studied in combination with Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Earth & Environmental Science in Year 11, students have the opportunity to elect to pick up Senior Science in Year 12 without penalty.

Information processes and Technology and Computer Technology may not be studied in the same conjunction.

Students must also:

complete the practical, oral or project works required for specific courses

satisfactorily complete the internal assessment requirements for each course

sit for and made a serious attempt at the Higher School Certificate examinations.

Satisfactory Completion of a Course Principals are required to certify that students have satisfactorily completed Preliminary/HSC courses. The course completion criteria are as follows.

A 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.

Principals may determine that, as a result of absence, the course completion criteria have not been met. Students will receive early warning in writing if they are in danger of receiving an “N” (non-completion of course requirements) determination for any course. In accordance with Department of Education and Communities policy students over 17 can be expelled from a government school for unsatisfactory participation in learning based on a documented pattern of unsatisfactory completion and/or non-serious attempts to achieve course outcomes as specified by the Board of Studies (BOSTES)

Page | 5

Internal Assessment of Preliminary Courses

Students will complete an internal assessment program for each Preliminary course. All assessment tasks and requirements must be satisfactorily completed to be deemed eligible for entry into HSC courses.

Preliminary Course assessments do not contribute to HSC assessment. A separate booklet outlining internal assessment requirements and task schedules for each course will be provided for HSC course commencement at the beginning of Term 4.

At the end of the Preliminary course the school is required to provide the Board of Studies (BOSTES) with a grade (A-E) to represent the performance of the student in the internal assessment procedures applied throughout the year.

Assessment grades submitted by a school for each course are intended to measure students‟ achievements relative to set standards applied at the end of the Preliminary course. Assessment performance is based on achievements measured at points throughout the course. Measuring achievement at points during the course provides a better indication of student achievement than a single examination.

a. It increases the accuracy of the final assessment of each student‟s achievement by using multiple measures.

b. It caters for any knowledge and skills outcomes that are better assessed in specific settings or at specific times e.g. research or fieldwork skills, thus broadening the base of the assessment.

Formal Examinations and Reports

The school will report on student progress each semester in Year 11. There will be a formal examination for Year 11, late Term 1. Yearly Examinations for Year 11 will occur towards the end of Term 3. The weeks indicated in subject policies may vary slightly. The Assessment rank will be recorded as a cumulative rank on both reports issued in Year 11.

Notification of Assessment Tasks

Teachers will give at least two calendar weeks’ notice in writing of each assessment task. An agreed format will be used to notify all assessment task requirements. This information will include: date set, date due, relative value of this task (weighting) outcomes to be assessed, clear task description and details of marking schemes. Teachers will provide students with clear feedback based on the marking schemes and indicating their achievement of outcomes. Students must discuss any questions they have about the marks and grades awarded for an individual piece of work with their teacher at the time the work is handed back. No assessment tasks will be carried out or excursions held in the week prior to examinations. If the due date for a particular task has to be changed to an earlier date, two calendar weeks‟ notice in writing will still be given. Students who are absent on the day a task is set are responsible for finding out at the earliest opportunity what work was completed or set during their absence. An extension of time should not be expected, without adequate documentation.

Page | 6

Difficulties with Assessment Tasks

Students must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks. If students are having problems with an assessment task, or with work in general, they should discuss the matter with their teacher at the first opportunity. Parents with concerns regarding these matters are encouraged to contact the Faculty Head Teacher to arrange an interview with the relevant teacher.

Head Teachers, in consultation with the Deputy Principal, may consider a variation to the scheduled date of an assessment task if requested in advance in writing by parents or guardians. Such a request must provide an acceptable reason for the student‟s inability to complete the task by/on the due date.

Non-completion of Preliminary Course Assessment Tasks

Students must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks that, taken together, contribute in excess of 50% of the available assessment marks for the Preliminary course. If an attempt at a particular task scores zero, it is a matter for the teacher's professional judgement whether it is a genuine one. Completion of tasks that carry a total weight of exactly 50% is not sufficient; tasks with a total weight in excess of 50% must be attempted. If this is not the case, the Principal must indicate to the Board of Studies (BOSTES) that the course has not been satisfactorily completed,

Assessment tasks which are not completed on/by the due date will receive a zero mark for assessment purposes.

Exceptions to this policy are at the discretion of the Head Teacher in consultation with the Deputy Principal. Students must complete an Illness/Misadventure form (sample on page 14 in this document) and provide documentary evidence e.g. doctor‟s certificate before their case is considered. Students are expected to provide this documentation to their teacher, at the subject‟s first lesson after they return to school.

School assessment marks will not compensate for factors such as extended illness, misadventure or domestic problems. However on the basis of satisfactory documentary evidence, for example, a doctor‟s certificate, the Principal may allow a student to complete a substitute task or, in exceptional circumstances, allow the student to be given an estimate based on other evidence.

Non-completion of Preliminary Course Requirements (N Determination)

Students will be provided with written warning if their progress in a particular course is unsatisfactory, and their parents/caregivers informed of what is required for the student to satisfactorily complete the course. Students who have not completed course requirements by the end of Term 3 despite advice from teachers, Head Teachers and their Year Adviser, will be registered with the Board of Studies as having not completed Preliminary course requirements.

Students in this position will need to consider the following options, depending on how many Preliminary courses they have not satisfactorily completed:

a. Discontinue the subject, taking into account the minimum number of units to qualify for a HSC (10 units) pattern of study requirements.

b. Repeat the Preliminary course in the following year, while beginning HSC courses in other subjects, prior to undertaking the related HSC course in the third senior year. The student would need to check that this was possible, as the school timetable may not enable students to study the required Preliminary/HSC courses.

Page | 7

c. Repeat the Preliminary course only in the following year, then study the full number of approved HSC courses in the third senior year

d. Consider other options outside Kingswood High School. The Careers Adviser is available to assist with information regarding TAFE and other possibilities.

These options may extend students‟ time at school by at least a year. Students need to make the commitment to complete all Preliminary course requirements to avoid being in this position.

Right of Appeal against Non-completion of Course Requirements Determination

Students may appeal against a Preliminary Course non-completion of course requirement determination (N) by completing the official Board of Studies appeal form and lodging it with the Principal, who will review the case. The appeal process will be explained to any students in this position by the Principal and Deputy, at the end of Term 3, Year 11.

Students who change schools or repeat. Students who transfer to this school before the final date for the entry of grades for Preliminary courses in Year 11 will be assessed by the school based on the tasks completed at this school. Information from the student‟s previous school may also be taken into account. In the case of students who transfer to this school between the final dates for the entry of grades for Preliminary courses their previous school will provide their assessment. Students who transfer from interstate or overseas will be assessed on the tasks completed at this school, following a four-week settling in period. Students repeating a Preliminary Course will be given an assessment based on their repeat Preliminary Course only.

Malpractice in Completing an Assessment Task

Malpractice is any activity undertaken by a student that allows them to gain an unfair advantage over others.

Malpractice includes but is not limited to:

Copying someone else‟s work in part or in whole, and presenting it as your own

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

Using material directly from books, journals, CD‟s, the internet or any other source without reference to the source.

Building on ideas of another person without referring to the source.

Buying, stealing or borrowing another‟s work and presenting it as your own

Damaging or destroying another student‟s work

Paying or having someone else complete the task for you

Submitting work which another person such as a parent, tutor, subject expert or a sibling has contributed substantially

Breaking published school examination rules

Using non approved aides during an assessment task

Providing false explanations for work not handed in by the due date

Assisting another student to engage in malpractice.

Page | 8

Parents will be informed of any instances of malpractice and a zero penalty will be imposed for copying, plagiarism, having someone else do the work for you or any other action that is deemed by the school to give the student an unfair advantage over others.

Life Skills Stage 6 alternate study program for Preliminary and HSC Life Skills subjects cater for all students who require alternate patterns of study. To access this curriculum, students, parents and teachers need to recognise the students need and agree on the access of the Life Skills curriculum. Students may access Life Skills for one or more subjects based on individual need. To meet this commitment, the Board of Studies has developed Life Skills courses for Stage 6 in each broad area of learning. The courses are:

English Life Skills

Mathematics Life Skills

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education Life Skills

Human Society and It‟s Environment Life Skills a. Aboriginal Studies Life Skills b. Business and Economics Life Skills c. Citizenship and Legal Studies Life Skills d. Geography Life Skills e. History Life Skills f. Society and Culture Life Skills g. Studies of Religion I Life Skills (available from 2015) h. Studies of Religion II Life Skills

Science Life Skills

Creative Arts Life Skills course provides students with the opportunity to study outcomes and content drawn from any of the modules. The Creative Arts Life Skills course must not duplicate any of the outcomes and content being undertaken in any additional courses being studied.

a. Creative Arts Life Skills b. Visual Arts Life Skills c. Dance Life Skills d. Drama Life Skills e. Music Life Skills

Technology Life Skills a. Agriculture Life Skills b. Design and Technology Life Skills c. Food Technology Life Skills d. Industrial Technology Life Skills e. Information Processes and Technology Life Skills f. Textiles and Design Technology Life Skills

Work and the Community Life Skills These courses have Board Developed status and can be used along with other Board Developed courses to meet requirements for the award of the Higher School Certificate. Each Life Skills course comprises a 2 Unit Preliminary course and a 2 Unit HSC course. There will not be an external examination for Life Skills courses.

Page | 9

Vocational Courses Vocational courses have continuous assessment of competencies. The instructor at school, TAFE or the workplace may assess these formally or informally. Students may have formal examinations in particular courses. Students may also elect to do the optional external HSC examination A compulsory element of assessment is the satisfactory completion of work placement in a relevant industry.

Work Placement

Work placement is a mandatory requirement for every VET course. Failure to complete work placement in either the Preliminary or HSC year will render the student ineligible for the award of a Preliminary and HSC Credential. If a student exits the course at the end of the Preliminary year they must have completed a minimum of 35 hours work placement to satisfy Board of Studies requirements.

Accumulating the HSC (Pathways) While the current two year program of study is likely to remain the usual method of completing the HSC, it is possible for students to accumulate the HSC over up to five years, providing:

1. Preliminary courses are completed before the HSC courses which follow them;

2. On completion of the accumulation, all HSC pattern-of-study requirements have been met for both the Preliminary and HSC courses, i.e. at least 12 Units of Preliminary and 10 units of HSC courses are required.

Both patterns of study must include:

at least 6 units from Board Developed Courses

at least 2 units of a Board Developed Course in English

at least three courses of 2 units value or greater (either Board Developed or Board Endorsed)

at least four subjects

Page | 10

Student Responsibilities

Students are responsible for: • attending school and timetabled classes regularly; • showing that through genuine effort and achievement they have met all

the requirements of the courses they are studying; • participating actively and cooperatively in all lessons; • completing all homework satisfactorily; • checking with their teachers as soon as possible after an absence to find

out what work needs to be completed; • completing each assessment task to the best of their ability; • handing in all assessment tasks for marking on or by the due date; • reading the HSC Assessment Information Booklet carefully and keeping the

outlines for each subject studied in their folder.

REMEMBER

It isn‟t a case of good luck with the H.S.C. assessment.

Your H.S.C. assessment mark and your rank will be determined by the

amount of effort that you apply to your studies in each subject.

The subject assessment guidelines provide general

information about H.S.C. assessment in each subject.

Each subject will provide more specific information to

students.

Vocational Education and Training Courses – Assessment

VET courses are competency based. Students will be assessed as “competent” or “not yet competent” at appropriate times during the course. A student who is judged to be not yet competent at a particular time may be re-assessed as competent at a later time. Not all students will necessarily achieve the same or all competencies. All students are required to sit the school‟s Trial HSC examination, as it is necessary for the school to submit these marks to the Board of Studies. However, students may elect not to sit for the Higher School Certificate examination itself if they wish. As many students access their courses in another location as part of the VET cluster agreement, they will be provided with the appropriate Assessment Task information by the teacher delivering the course at the commencement of 2015.

Please see the following pages for a list of competencies to be assessed as part of VET courses being delivered at Kingswood High School.

Accreditation By undertaking study in a VET course, students have the opportunity to receive dual accreditation. Students are accredited for the course as part of their Higher School Certificate, and also receive industry-level accreditation under the Australian Qualifications Framework. Additionally, students who elect to sit for the Higher School Certificate Examination may have the marks awarded from their VET course contribute to their ATAR. It is important to note that both BOSTES and the Australian Qualifications Framework have different requirements for the achievement of

their respective credentials. It is possible for students to be accredited with one, without the other.
