Introduction

The award of the Record of School Achievement (RoSA) is made on the basis of a student’s performance in class and

through school-based assessment tasks. Assessment tasks are a part of the formal teaching and learning programs we

deliver to your child.

Each school has to develop an Assessment Program for every Year 10 course. In practical terms, this means that the

school is required to:

• inform students of assessment requirements in each course;

• set tasks that will measure student performance in each specified component of the course and focus on outcomes;

• specify the assessment weighting for each task;

• keep records of each student’s performance on each task and;

• provide students with information on their progress.

Schools are required to provide an Assessment Grade based on student achievement in each course studied in Year

10.The Assessment Grade will be based on achievement measured throughout the course and will encompass

performance in syllabus objectives and outcomes, except those relating to values and attitudes.

The Year 10 assessment program not only contributes to students’ rankings in courses they study, but also provides

students, potential employers and tertiary institutions with an idea of the relative ability of students and their capacity

to work over a period of time towards achievements in a wider range of objectives.

NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has set requirements for both schools and for students. This booklet

contains the Assessment Procedures and Course Assessment Schedules for students beginning their assessment

programs for the Year 10 2020 at Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School.

Students need to ensure that they have read and understood the requirements so that they are aware of their

responsibilities and those of the school with regard to assessment.

This handbook is a useful guide for all students – it can assist them to effectively plan ahead and take responsibility

for managing their own learning in 2020.

Maxwell Foord

Principal

Aspiring the heights

through care, opportunity

and success


To promote, and sustain, a school wide culture of

high expectations and shared responsibility for

student engagement, learning, wellbeing and success.

To foster an environment where students, staff and parents

work together towards the collective goal of engaging every student

in rich learning experiences that develop the skills

vital for flourishing now and into the future.


General requirements of students for Year 10 (ROSA)

The School’s Responsibilities

NESA requires that Nepean CAPA High School develops an assessment program for each subject course.

Schools are required to:

• Set tasks which will be used to measure student performance in each component of a course.

• Specify the mark value for each task.

• Inform students of the ROSA assessment requirements for each course.

• Keep records of each student’s performance in each task.

• Provide students with information on their progress.

The assessment guidelines provided in this handbook are prepared from NESA’s subject guidelines.

It is provided to give students an indication of the number and timing of assessment tasks in each subject.

Students will receive more specific information from their subject teachers concerning what will be

assessed, how it will be assessed and when it will be assessed.

Students may obtain advice regarding their ROSA assessments from their subject teacher, the subject Head

Teacher, from their Student Adviser or from the Careers Adviser.

Nepean CAPA High School reserves the right to make any changes considered necessary after this

handbook has been issued. Students will be advised of any relevant changes.

Reporting to Students and Parent/Carer(s)

Students will receive feedback on individual assessment tasks, as well as formal reports twice per year.

Feedback on individual assessment tasks will include the mark obtained and constructive comments to

assist the student.

Each report will provide an indication of the:

• Student’s cumulative grade, which is based on the assessment tasks completed during the reporting period.

• Student’s cumulative rank based on the cumulative assessment mark for that period.

Each student’s final school assessment marks are confidential as they are subject to moderation.


General requirements of students for Year 10 (ROSA)

Course Completion Requirements

To be determined to have met the requirements for completion of Year 10 ROSA Courses, students must

be able to provide evidence to the Principal that they have:

NESA Terminology from Assessment, Certification and Examination (ACE) Manual:

For Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School students this means:

“Followed the course developed or endorsed by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA)”

• Follow NESA syllabus

• Participate in all learning activities set by the teacher

“Applied him or herself with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the course by the school”

• Attend all timetabled classes

• Make a genuine attempt to complete the tasks set in class to the best of your ability

• Actively participating in the learning experiences provided

• Completing all mandatory practical activities.

“Achieved some or all of the course outcomes”

• Demonstrate in class that you have learnt concepts (as determined by your teacher in assessment tasks and other activities in the course)


Assessment

1. Assessment tasks

1.1 Each student is expected to complete and make a genuine attempt at all assessment tasks.

1.2 Assessment for the Year 10 Courses will begin Term 1 and finish Week 5,Term 4 in 2020.

1.3 Assessment tasks must be handed in personally to the class teacher or subject Head Teacher in their

staffroom. Unless otherwise specified, all assessment tasks must be submitted as hard (paper) copies.

1.4 Elite Representation- Assessment tasks take precedence over all other school activities, including

excursions, competitions and sporting events. Under special circumstances the Principal may grant

exemptions. Students who have a conflict between assessment due dates and elite representation

dates are to submit an “Application for Special Consideration for Elite Representative Students” at

least one week in advance of their assessment due date. Elite representative students may be: asked

to complete the assessment task by the existing due date; granted an extension; asked to complete

an alternative assessment task or; granted an estimate based on the student’s previous performance

in the course.

1.5 Feedback of Tasks- Teachers should return marked assessment tasks within 3 weeks of due date and

prior to the due date of any subsequent assessment task. Teachers will provide effective oral and

written feedback to students, either individually or in groups, to allow monitoring and improvement

of learning. Senior students will receive a mark for each component of the assessment task, a total

for the task, their rank in the cohort for that task and their overall cumulative rank within the cohort.

1.6 Invalidating Assessment Tasks- An assessment task may need to be declared invalid if it can be

clearly demonstrated that: either one or more students were given an unfair advantage; the task was

interrupted due to disruptions like an emergency evacuation or; the task produced results that are

significantly different to those expected to be produced by the cohort. Students or their parents who

feel that an assessment task meets the criteria to be considered an invalid assessment need to raise

the issue with their class teacher and the faculty Head Teacher. The faculty Head Teacher will

investigate the claim and in consultation with the Head Teacher Secondary Studies and Senior

Executive will make a final determination on the validity of the task. In the event an assessment task

is deemed invalid, all students affected will be issued a suitable replacement assessment task with a

minimum of two weeks’ notice for the new due date.

1.7 Misplaced or corruption of files- Sometimes, but very rarely, issues arise where a student’s

assessment task or digital copy of the task is lost or corrupted. Students will be asked to submit

another copy of their task in the appropriate format. On the rare occasion that a teacher loses an

assessment, another copy cannot be provided by the student and there is a clear record

demonstrating the task was submitted by due date, the student will receive an estimate for the task

based on their performance on their other assessment tasks. Students are reminded to keep back

up copies of their assessments until after the results for the task have been returned.


Assessment

2. Completion of Assessment tasks

2.1 Work submitted late will receive a zero mark unless accompanied by a doctor’s certificate or an

illness/misadventure application is made to the Principal.

2.2 Tasks Submitted Late- All tasks submitted after the stated time on the assessment task will be

deemed late. Late work will receive a zero mark unless a student has an approved

Illness/Misadventure Application. See Illness/Misadventure in this booklet. Students submitting late

work will receive an N Award Warning Letter notifying parents they have received a zero for that task

and a new deadline will be set for students to satisfactorily attempt and submit the task as per NESA

rules. Failure to submit the assessment task could lead to an N Determination being granted for the

course and ineligibility for the award of the ROSA certificate in the following year.

2.3 Absence from an In-class Assessment Task- If a student is absent from an in-class assessment task,

the student must complete an illness/misadventure form obtained from Head Teachers or the front

office, and a doctor’s certificate, as proof of illness must be submitted. Students will be expected to

complete the task on the first day of their return to school. The student has the responsibility of

reporting to the Head Teacher of the subject concerned on their arrival at school on the day they

return in order to arrange the task’s completion. Incidents of misadventure leading to absence from

an assessment task will be considered by the Year 10 Deputy Principal and the relevant Head Teacher.

2.4 Prior Knowledge of Assessment Task- If a student knows he or she will be absent on the day that an

assessment task is due, the student must submit the assessment task before the due date unless an

extension has been granted. This includes students who are involved in sporting events, excursions

or work placement and elite representation. Students may not be partially absent from school on

the day an assessment task is due.

2.5 Assistance with Assessment Tasks-If you are having trouble completing your assessment tasks, don’t

hesitate to ask for help! Talk to your teacher, the Head Teacher of the subject, the Learning and

Support Teachers, the Head Teacher Teaching and Learning or the teachers in Homework Centre. It

is our job to support you with understanding your assessment. If a student has a learning difficulty

or special need that we need to be aware of they are to talk to the Learning and Support Teachers or

the Head Teacher Teaching and Learning. We may be able to offer extra assistance in other ways

through Disability or Special Provisions.

2.6 Illness during an assessment task- If a student is ill during an assessment task they must inform the

supervising teacher immediately. The time of the student illness will be recorded and the student

may be offered a period equal to the time missed due to the illness. The student must provide a

doctor’s certificate for illness immediately upon their return to school and complete the

illness/misadventure form. If a student becomes ill during an assessment task the Head Teacher will

decide whether an estimate or a substitute task will be given.


Assessment

2. Completion of Assessment tasks continued

2.7 Attendance on the day of assessment tasks- Students must attend all classes on the day an

assessment task is due. Students are not permitted to miss classes on the day an assessment task is

due. Penalties will apply if students are deemed to have an unfair advantage.

2.8 Illness for Examination- In the event of illness for an examination, students are expected to see the

teacher or Head Teacher of the subject to arrange an alternative time to sit the examination. A

doctor’s certificate must be submitted with an illness/misadventure form. Students found truanting

classes to work on an assessment task will receive an automatic zero for the task. Students absent

for part of the day an assessment task is due must submit an Illness/Misadventure form justifying

their partial absence with a doctor’s certificate in the event of an illness or suitable evidence in the

event of a misadventure. Students suspended at the time an assessment task is due must submit

their assessment to the Front Office on the day the task is due and immediately leave the premises.

2.9 Appeals of misadventure for illness- Students are entitled to appeal decisions to award no marks by

submitting an appeal to the Principal no later than 5 days after the task was returned to the student.

The appeal should describe the student’s concern regarding the assessment task procedures.

2.10 Genuine attempt of assessment tasks- Students are expected to attempt all tasks set. The minimum

requirement is that the student must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks that contribute in

excess of 50% of available marks in the course.

2.11 Examinations- All students attending an examination at Nepean CAPA High School are subject to the

rules of the school. This includes assembling for, undertaking and leaving the examinations. Students

who do not comply with the school’s examination rules for a course may have their examination

paper for that course cancelled. This may render the student ineligible for the award of a the ROSA

certificate.


Assessment

3. Non-Completion of Assessment tasks

3.1 Non-Satisfactory Completion- Students awarded zero marks for assessment tasks totalling 50% or

more of the final course assessment marks will be certified as not having satisfactorily completed the

course. This means that the student will not receive an assessment mark or an examination mark for

that subject.

3.2 Zero Marks- Students and parents will be notified if a student receives a zero mark and opportunities

will be provided for the student to meet course outcomes. Parents and students should also be aware

of potential consequences of non-completion of course outcomes.

3.3 Non-Serious Attempts- Students who do not make a serious attempt at an assessment task may

receive a zero mark for the task concerned. This may render some student’s ineligible for an award

for the subject in the ROSA Certificate. Non-serious attempts include frivolous or objectionable

material. Students who provide answers to examination questions in a language other than English

(unless specifically instructed to do so) will have zero marks awarded. Non-attempts include those

where only multiple-choice questions are attempted. Any student identified as making a non-serious

attempt or a non-attempt will be asked by the school to justify why they should receive a result for

the task concerned.

3.4 Appeal Requests- A student who wishes to submit an appeal request can do so when you have sought

and been denied approval for an application for either an illness/Misadventure, an Extension for Elite

Representation, zero mark for a non-serious attempt or you have been issued with a UPL Program or

an N Determination Warning or Final N Determination Notice. Your appeal request must be made

with 48 hours of receiving a rejection from the relevant faculty Head Teacher or been issued an N

Determination Warning. Appeal requests should only be made in circumstances where you truly

believe the Head Teacher has not considered all the facts in your case. You are to complete an Appeal

request form and submit it to the Principal, with a copy of the Illness-Misadventure Request or

Extension for Elite Performance Request or Notification of Final N Determination Award. It is at the

Principal’s discretion whether to uphold your appeal to deny it after careful consideration of all the

circumstances surrounding your appeal request.

3.5 Formal Appeals- A student who wishes to appeal formally against a decision not to award marks

should submit the appeal to the Principal. The appeal must be written by the student and lodged no

later than FIVE school days after the student is informed of the decision not to award marks. All

relevant documentation must accompany the appeal when it is lodged. Relevant documentation may

include a copy of the assessment task sheet, a copy of the student’s response, a supporting letter

from parent or caregiver, a medical certificate and other documentation that may support the

appeal.


Assessment

4. Student Malpractice

4.1 Misbehaviour- Student malpractice includes misbehaviour during the conducting of assessment

tasks and breaching school examination rules. Students who have completely plagiarised their

assessment will receive a zero and an N Award Warning Letter (Years 9-12). Students must show

ethical scholarship by learning how to summarise and write in their own words. Students who

misbehave during assessment tasks, including exams, will be given an appropriate consequence for

their actions. Depending on the severity of the disruption, students may receive a zero for the task.

Students who are ejected from an assessment task will have their paper removed and the time they

left the assessment recorded on the top of their paper, including details of the disruption. The class

teacher will negotiate a suitable penalty with the course Head Teacher.

4.2 Penalty for Malpractice- Malpractice in assessment tasks and examinations will be referred to the

relevant KLA Head Teacher. This may result in the student’s assessment task being cancelled and

receiving no marks. Claims of malpractice including plagiarism and cheating must be proven before

mark reduction can occur. Students may only receive marks on their own work and the teacher will

only mark the sections that have not been plagiarised and will mark according to the marking criteria.

4.3 Appeals for Malpractice- Students may appeal the decision not to award marks on the grounds of

malpractice to the relevant KLA Head Teacher. If the student remains dissatisfied, a formal process

may be initiated. The student lodges a formal appeal in writing to the principal clearly stating their

grounds for appeal within five days from the date the assessment task was returned to the student.

Appeal submissions will be recorded by the school. The principal will convene an appeals panel. The

principal may convene an assessment review panel to consider the appeal. The panel may request

the attendance of the student and teacher(s) to assist in its deliberations. If the student’s appeal is

rejected, the student’s parent/caregiver will be informed of the assessment review panel’s decision

in writing. The decision of an assessment review panel is final.


Assessment

5. N Awards

Students can receive an N Award Notification for one of three reasons:

• Lack of Diligence and Sustained Effort: examples include, extensive unexplained absences below 85% therefore extensive non-completion of class work, practicals and homework.

• Unsatisfactory Completion of Assessment Tasks: examples include non-completion of an assessment task, plagiarism, non-serious attempts at tasks, continued/deliberate avoidance of examinations and tasks.

• Non-Completion of Work Placement: examples: non-attendance or poor performance, or non-serious attempt at mandatory 35 hours of work placement in either the Preliminary or HSC course of accelerated subjects.

The N Award Notification letter will clearly outline: the number of times a parent has been notified of an

outstanding assessment task; the details of the outstanding assessment task, class work or work placement;

the weighting of the task or proportion of the course the work contributes to; the original due date and the

new due date for the outstanding work. Students will be given two additional weeks to complete this

outstanding work.

Each time a student receives an N Award Notification, the student’s parents will be contacted by the class

teacher via telephone and a formal notification letter will be issued.

Once a student has failed to complete more than 50% of assessment, missed their work placement or have

completed less than 85% of course work, they will be required to meet with the Deputy Principal to

commence the UPL and N Determination processes.

N Determination

Students studying a ROSA course must complete and make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks (including

examinations) which contribute in excess of 50% of the total marks for the course and satisfactorily complete

in excess of 85% of the course work for each subject.

Students who do not meet the minimum assessment and course work requirements of a subject will receive

a Final N Determination Warning for the course, which is their last chance to meet course requirements.

Failure to meet the deadline of the N Determination Warning, will result in the issue of a Final N

Determination Notification letter to the student and their parent, advising the consequences of this process

and the student’s right to a school based assessment appeal review and the appeal process with NESA.

An N Determination in any subject may make a student ineligible to graduate or receive their ROSA

depending on their chosen pattern of study.


Important Information to Read

When will assessment begin?

Nepean CAPA High School Assessment program commences at the beginning of Term 1 and concludes at

Term 4 (2020).

How much notice will be given of each task?

You will be notified in writing at least 14 calendar days prior to the due date of Assessment Tasks. The due

date and information for all Assessment Tasks will be given to you on our Assessment Task Notice Cover

Sheet (see Appendix 1) which will be issued when you are notified of the task. Any variation to the published

Assessment schedule must be made at least 14 days prior to the due date of the original task. Students are

to sign a register kept by the teacher on receipt of the task notification and on submission of the task.

What do I do when I am absent when an assessment is issued?

It is a student’s responsibility to find out what work has been missed whilst they were absent and to catch

up on that work. The same condition applies if a student is absent when an Assessment Task is issued. You

may not be entitled to any automatic extension of time for the task, if you were absent on the day a task

was issued. If you have a prolonged absence, you may submit to the Principal an application for

Consideration/Extension.

What happens if I am ill or unable to complete a task for some reason?

In cases of severe illness or other exceptional circumstances, an extension to the due date of an assessment

task may be possible by completing either an Elite Representation Application or an Illness-Misadventure

application ONE week before the due date of an Assessment Task. The completed application must be signed

by your class teacher and given to the Head Teacher of the faculty who will submit it to the Principal or

Deputy Principal for approval. A medical certificate will be required in cases of illness. Students cannot

assume their request will be granted, so they are encouraged to commence work on their assessment tasks

upon receipt of them. If an extension is not granted, you must submit the task by the due date. Unless

prior application for an extension has been approved by the Principal, the late submission of a task will result

in zero marks being awarded for that task.

What if I know in advance that I will be absent?

If a student knows he or she will be absent on the day that an assessment task is due, the student must

submit the assessment task before the due date unless an extension has been granted. This includes

students who are involved in sporting events, excursions or work placement and elite representation.


Important Information to Read

What if I have been absent from school?

Occasionally there are special circumstances where a student cannot hand an assessment task in by the set

time due to unexpected illness or for an exceptional circumstance. Parents must notify the course Head

Teacher in the morning of the student’s absence. If illness is offered as a reason for late submission, a

Doctor’s Certificate must be provided to cover the dates of the absence including the day the assessment

task was due. If misadventure is offered as a reason for late submission, suitable evidence must be provided

to verify the reason

What happens if I hand in Assessment Tasks late?

Students submitting late work will receive an N Award Warning Letter notifying parents they have received

a zero for that task and a new deadline will be set for students to satisfactorily attempt and submit the task

as per NESA rules.

What about students who get outside help or copy other people’s work?

A zero mark may be imposed for copying, plagiarism, cheating or disturbance in an examination. See the

section on malpractice.

What if I do not make a serious attempt?

If you do not make a serious attempt in an assessment task, or produce irrelevant or offensive material, you

may receive no marks. Each case will be considered by the teacher in consultation with the Head Teacher.

What about students who change schools or repeat?

NESA will be notified as soon as possible of all ROSA student movements both in and out of the school. For

students who transfer between the commencement of assessments in a particular course and before 30th

June in an ROSA year, the receiving school is to prepare the final assessment based upon those tasks which

the students complete at the receiving school. Any information from the student’s previous school may also

be taken into account. For students who transfer schools after 30th June, their previous school is to provide

the assessments results to NESA.


Tips for Being a Successful Student

Be Organised

The first step towards success at school is to be organised. This means that you know where you keep your

books and equipment, know when school work is due, and being able to find things when you need them.

If you have your own room, make sure that all your books and equipment are in one place.

Check your timetable each evening before going to bed. Then use this information to pack your school bag.

If you have a system like this, you will never forget your books or equipment.

Your school diary is a very useful resource that can help you get organised. Your diary has a calendar and a

weekly planner where you can write when homework, assignments or other school work is due. Develop a

habit of regularly writing in your diary and looking up the things you write.

Your weekly planner not only tells you when school work is due, but it can also help you plan your time by

allowing you to calculate, at a glance, how much time you have left before something is due.

Your weekly planner should be updated every week to reflect the amount of time you need to spend on

different tasks.

You should have separate exercise books for all subjects. You should use headings and subheadings for things

you write and you should always date your work so it's easier to sequence.

Prioritise Your Time and Work To prioritise means to make a decision on what is important and what needs to be done first. To help you

prioritise you should have clear and manageable learning goals and know what you have to do to achieve

those goals.

Being organised, knowing when work is due and knowing how much time you have to do it, will help you set

priorities and find time to do things that are urgent and important.

Make a short list of the most urgent or most important things you have to do. This list should not be too long

- five or so items at a time - and you should always complete the item at the top of the list first.

Your “To Do List” will help you always feel in control and it will give you a sense of achievement. Your list

should have all your urgent tasks on it to help you to remember that they have to be done. The most urgent

tasks should be at the top of your list.

Important things are not always urgent, but they have to be done - and you must find the time to do them.

There is a range of important things, and these things are not just school work. However, by prioritising you

will be able to find a balance between everything that is important to you.


Tips for being a successful student continued

It is important to have learning goals. Learning goals should be realistic and manageable. For example, think

about your learning goals a year from now, but also think about all the small steps that will allow you to get

there. Plan on doing the small steps first, and then gradually build up. Knowing where you want to go makes

getting there a lot easier. If you are not sure about your goals, talk to someone who can help you work out

where you want to be and how to get there.

School work is very important, but so are the other things you do after school. The trick is to find a balance

between the different things you do after school. Use your weekly planner to help you in this process. Work

out all the things you have to do that week (prioritise), then see how much time is left for other things.

Finding the right balance will reduce stress and help you stay on task.

Get Things Done Getting things done can be time-consuming and challenging, but if you are organised and you have your

priorities right, it will make your workload easier.

Bigger tasks should be broken down into smaller parts. Each assignment or project should be broken down

into smaller, manageable components, and then time should be allocated to each component in your weekly

planner. This makes big jobs easier to do and it reduces stress.

When breaking things down, make sure that you understand all the steps that have to be completed, and

then work on the first step until it is done. Only when you have completed the first step should you move on

to the next step. Your study schedule should help you work out how much time you have to complete each

step.

Going over your class notes and linking them to key skills and concepts should be something you do at home

during the time set aside to do homework. Even if your teacher does not set this activity explicitly for

homework, you should be doing this regularly at home.

Making study notes is the process of linking content learned in class to key skills and processes. Once you

have your study notes you will find it is much easier to do assessment tasks and prepare for tests and

examinations as these always ask you to link knowledge to key skills.

You should ask for feedback from your teacher on your progress to see that you are doing the right thing

and that you are on the right track. If you give yourself enough time to complete your work, you should be

able to show your teacher a fairly complete draft at least several days before the work is due. This will give

your teacher time to get back to you and give you time to act on the feedback you get.


NESA Directive Verbs

HSC subject syllabuses, school internal assessment tasks and examination questions have key words that

state what students are expected to be able to do in examinations and assessment tasks. It is important to

note that examination questions for the HSC will continue to use self-explanatory terms such as 'how', or

'why' or 'to what extent'. While key words have a purpose, they will not set limits on legitimate subject-

based questions in examination papers.

A Learning and Responding Matrix

The ALARM model has been created to support you to respond to your assessment task questions. Basically the matrix

is a layer of thinking skills you will need to demonstrate in your assessment tasks across all subjects.

The skills overlap to help you develop your answers. Identify or name questions are simple questions that require a

one word or short answer where as an evaluate question requires you to make a complex assessment of impact.

Every student should be able to do identify or describe or explain questions. Most students should be able to do

analyse questions, and some should be able to effectively respond to evaluate questions. By using the images over

the next few pages, you should be able to improve your ability to respond to all types of these questions.

Easiest Average Hard Hardest Easy

Degree of question difficulty

Well-designed assessment tasks should have

access points for all learners, including

learners with special needs and gifted and

talented learners.

All students should be able to achieve at least

50% on every assessment task, if they apply

themselves.

Students who are not meeting this minimum

standard will be in danger of not meeting

course requirements and may be ineligible for

the award of Higher School Certificate.
