SHOALHAVEN HIGH SCHOOL
HSC ASSESSMENT POLICY 2018-2019
In order to participate in the HSC course provided by the school, students have to complete the Preliminary HSC course and receive a satisfactory Preliminary Record of Achievement. Assessment for HSC Courses Your HSC will show two marks that indicate your achievements. Examination Mark - the mark awarded for your performance in the HSC exams in October/November
2019 Assessment Mark - the mark awarded for your school based assessment tasks. Your mark will be
derived from your performance in the school based assessment tasks set in each course.
The Assessment Program determines your expected positioning relevant to all students in your course at Shoalhaven High School. This assists the examiners in distributing final marks in the HSC examinations. The School’s Responsibilities The school has developed an assessment program for each course. This means the school: sets tasks that will be used to measure performance in each component of a course specifies the relative value of each task informs you via the assessment booklet of the components and their weightings; when assessment tasks
will take place; the mark value of each task; the nature of each assessment task; the administrative details associated with each task (absence, late submission etc)
provides adequate notice of the timing of each assessment task keeps records of your performance provides feedback on your performance
Your Responsibility Your responsibility as HSC students: be aware of the requirements of your courses, making reference to your assessment booklet attend all classes and complete all course requirements including both formal and in-class course work complete all tasks that are part of the assessment program all work presented in an assessment must be your own, cheating or plagiarism could lead to a zero mark
being given must complete the required documentation for each assessment task, eg: signing receipt of assessment
notices and submission of assessment tasks, etc
In 2018 each student is expected to have a Learning Partner (LP) in each subject. Your LP is your friend - someone with whom you share a common purpose, ie maximizing learning. Most importantly, you assist each other to maintain focus. In the best circumstances you will be part of a Learning Circle in each subject, 3-5 people with whom you will strive to achieve excellence. Reading each other's essays before completion, testing, brainstorming, taking notes and hand-outs during absences are just some of the strategies that Learning Circles can implement. Completing a Personal Assessment Planner assists in organising your time and study (an example is included in this book). Adherence to School Rules: Senior students have to sign a contract if they are to gain privileges. To attend school, each student must comply with rules. A Student Code of Conduct will be signed by each student. Serious infractions of these rules will lead to the implementation of the processes of Declaring a Student's Place Vacant, as set down by the Department of Education.
2
Assessment Tasks: All assessment tasks are compulsory and thus should be regarded as a major priority at school. Where an unforeseen event such as a representative sporting event cuts across a set assessment task, changes can be negotiated by the student affected.
Attendance at our Homework and Tutorial Centre is strongly recommended - Mondays and Wednesdays 2.45pm - 5.00pm in the School Library. One-to-one and small group support can be negotiated with Mrs Jennings.
The student who seeks to re-arrange the timing of a task must take the initiative. If a student thinks that she/he has been disadvantaged by any circumstance she/he should see the Deputy Principal. The Rules: The Assessment system has a major impact on final HSC results. The rules are:
sign for your copy of the HSC Course Assessment Policy Booklet
make sure you understand your rights and your responsibilities
if in doubt, see your teacher and if necessary the Deputy Principal
Failure to Undertake Course Work: Successful completion of a course does not depend solely on the assessment program. Where a student has clearly failed to reveal the acquisition of skills or knowledge - by not attending lessons or not doing set work, in class or outside it - the teacher can require supplementary work that shows the student has made up the ground. It is only when a student has made an attempt to reach the outcomes of a course to the best of his/her ability that a course co-ordinator or teacher will certify that the student has completed the course. This helps maintain the integrity of the Higher School Certificate. Schedule of Assessments for Each Subject: The Assessment Task Schedules for each course are set down in this booklet. These should be transferred to your diary; planning the orderly completion of all tasks is a key challenge of being an HSC student. If you have not already established a systematic approach to doing assessment tasks, you MUST do so now (refer to sample planner). Suggestions: get organized find a good place to study use a study planner understand your tasks and assessments break it down into manageable chunks do one thing at a time use To Do Lists prepare revision and summary notes try to stick to your study plan take a break and reward yourself
Notice of Assessment Tasks: Students will be given adequate notice of the specific nature of an impending task, usually two (2) weeks. On receipt of an assessment task, you are required to sign and date acknowledging you have been issued the task and supporting documentation.
3
Submission of Assessment Tasks: You are required to sign and date documentation indicating the submission of your assessment.
Special Circumstances and Adjustments: An extension of time for submission of a task normally will not be granted, because it may be giving an advantage to one student over others. Where an extension is granted, it is only done on the assumption that all students have similar opportunities to do the task. The only clear circumstances in which a student will be excused from handing in or doing an assessment at the specified time involves illness that is testified to by a Doctor's Certificate. General ill health is unfortunate and deserves sympathy, but it normally does not provide grounds for extensions or special privileges.
Students who feel that they cannot give their best, for serious reasons outside their control should seek help and advice. This is more likely to allow some adjustment to the assessment process if it is sought in advance. Similarly, a student who anticipates that a planned assessment task coincides with a school representation at Regional or State level at sport, must inform the appropriate course co-ordinator as soon as possible. Attending a Driver's Licence appointment is not a reasonable excuse! All extensions must be negotiated with the Deputy Principal, Mr Rees in discussion with the course teacher. Application proformas are in the back of this book. Failure to Complete Assessment Tasks and Class Work Students must fulfill Board of Studies requirements that the student attends all classes. The student who does not attend or does not attempt work runs the risk of being deemed to have not satisfactorily completed the course. If a student attempting a course does not make an honest attempt at a set task, an "N" Award warning letter will be issued. Second and subsequent warnings will be issued to parents. If the combined value of missed assessment tasks exceeds 50% of the marks set down for the course, then that student will be deemed not to have satisfactorily completed the course; ie will be issued with an “ N” Award. NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority) affords the school no discretion in this regard. Recording and Reporting Accurate records of student marks and rankings for each task, both raw scores and statistically adjusted scores, are kept by the Course Coordinators. Students may only query marks before they are formally recorded. The best time is when tasks [and marks] are returned.
Students are given as much information as possible throughout the assessment program. You will not be told the "final" assessment mark; since the Board of Studies forbids the release of this final mark [the reason is that the mark is subject to so much statistical adjustment that in its "raw" state it is misleading]. Exactly how much you will be told officially depends on the subject area's reporting system and the school's reporting system. At the very least you will be given up to date assessment rankings at the Semester Reports.
'N' Award Warnings are given: once a student is falling behind in attendance or application
if a student misses an Assessment Task, or makes a non-serious attempt
to inform students specifically what needs to be done to redeem themselves
The Board may refuse to grant a HSC to a student whose attendance or application at school has been of an unsatisfactory nature that the award of the certificate would not, in the opinion of the Board, be justified. Malpractice in Assessment Tasks and/or Formal Examinations: Students are subject to the normal rules of the school during the undertaking of Assessment Tasks and examinations.
4
In an Assessment or Examination, no student may:
• Speak to anyone other than a teacher
• Behave in a way that may disturb another
• Copy another student's work
• Attend while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Break any applicable school rule
• Leave the location of the task without permission
• Bring into the location information in any set down form / cheat
• Have a mobile phone in the examination room
Appeals: Formal appeals may be made to the Senior Board of Review over general matters and decisions. Students are advised to try to solve such problems through negotiation and personal dealings before recourse to appeal. Reviews or appeals over grades or marks may be applied for, only on the grounds that:
• The marks awarded for the assessment tasks are not consistent with those published in the school's HSC Course Assessment Policy
• There has been a clerical error
There is an opportunity for a final formal appeal after the Board of Studies returns the recorded assessment position. Such an appeal must be heard by a properly constituted Review Panel, consisting of the Principal, the Course Co-ordinator and a teacher not involved with the subject. Appeal forms are included in the back of the book.
Your teachers will try to ensure that you meet your assessment obligations. Ultimately your success or failure, both in meeting the requirements of the course and
achieving your aims, will depend on you.
If you have any questions or concerns about assessments please contact Mr Rees the Deputy Principal for the HSC Year.

A: The Education Act 1990 provides for the Higher School Certificate to be awarded by the Board of Studies to students who have:
gained a School Certificate (or other qualifications considered satisfactory by the Board)
attended a government school (or registered and accredited non-government school)
participated, to the Board's satisfaction, in courses of study which have been determined to be appropriate
completed those courses to the Board's satisfaction
undertaken the requisite examinations or other forms of assessment
complied with any requirements prescribed by the Regulations or any requirements imposed by the Minister or Board.
The Board may refuse to grant a Higher School Certificate to a student whose attendance or application at school has been of such an unsatisfactory character that the award of the certificate would not, in the opinion of the Board, be justified. B: The curriculum during Year 11 and Year 12 for students who are candidates for the Higher
School Certificate must meet the following requirements:
(a) courses of study of a general description determined by the Minister on the recommendation of the Board are to be provided for each student in each year
(b) those courses of study are to include a course of study in English
(c) those courses of study are to comply with a pattern of study determined by the Minister on the recommendation of the Board
(d) those courses of study are to be taught in accordance with a syllabus developed or endorsed by the Board and approved by the Minister
These requirements are articulated in Attachment 2
