Assessment Booklet
Nyngan High School
A quality school in which all students, staff, parents and community can take pride
Nyngan High School Stage 5 Assessment Schedule 2015 Page 2
Record of School Achievement (ROSA)
Students choosing to leave school before the completion of their HSC will receive the NSW Record of School Achievement (ROSA).
The ROSA:
• is a record of achievement for students who leave school prior to receiving their HSC
• reports results of moderated, schoolbased assessment
• is available when a student leaves school any time after they complete Year 10
• is cumulative and recognise a student’s achievements until the point they leave school
• shows a result for all courses completed in Year 10 and Year 11
• reliably compares students across NSW
• give students the option to take online literacy and numeracy tests
• offers the ability to record a student’s extracurricular achievements.
To qualify for the award of a Record of School Achievement, a student must have:
attended a government school, an accredited nongovernment school or recognised school outside NSW
undertaken and completed courses of study that satisfy the Board’s curriculum and assessment requirements for the Record
of School Achievement
complied with any other regulations or requirements (such as attendance) imposed by the Minister or the Board and
completed Year 10
Time of issue
It is proposed that the NSW Record of School Achievement not be a ‘one point in time’ document, but rather, a record of a student’s
achievements up until the time they choose to leave school.
Reporting on literacy and numeracy
Online literacy and numeracy tests are available to school leavers.
Students who leave school prior to the HSC have the option to take online literacy and numeracy tests two times during the year.
Nyngan High School Stage 5 Assessment Schedule 2015 Page 3
The Record of Achievement may look like the sample below:
Nyngan High School Stage 5 Assessment Schedule 2015 Page 4
A Common Grade Scale will be used for all subjects studied.
Grading Board Endorsed and Content Endorsed Courses
The Common Grade Scale is to be used to assign ROSA grades for students in Stage 5 courses that do not have subject-specific
course performance descriptors. These include Board Endorsed Courses and Content Endorsed Courses such as Physical Activity or
task & Sports Studies and Marine & Aquaculture Technology.
The Common Grade Scale describes performance at each of five grade levels.
A The student has an extensive knowledge and understanding of the content and can readily apply this knowledge. In addition, the
student has achieved a very high level of competence in the processes and skills and can apply these skills to new situations.
B The student has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the content and a high level of competence in the processes and skills.
In addition, the student is able to apply this knowledge and these skills to most situations.
C The student has a sound knowledge and understanding of the main areas of content and has achieved an adequate level of
competence in the processes and skills.
D The student has a basic knowledge and understanding of the content and has achieved a limited level of competence in the
processes and skills.
E The student has an elementary knowledge and understanding in few areas of the content and has achieved very limited competence
in some of the processes and skills.

STAGE 5 ASSESSMENT POLICY
Each faculty has its own assessment policy developed within the guidelines as detailed in the specific Performance Descriptors for
each subject. The subject assessment policy will be one which measures a student’s level of achievement in syllabus outcomes at a
particular time.
The level of achievement of the Performance Descriptors will be measured through a range of instruments best suited to a particular
subject eg, class tests, examinations, research assignments, oral/aural exercises, fieldwork, library projects etc.
Assessment policies for all faculties in Nyngan High School have the following common principles:
There are a number of scheduled assessment tasks but all work completed in class will contribute to the final level of
achievement
Students will be advised of the nature, relative importance and timing of each assessment task ( see individual subject
schedules)
All assessment tasks will be constructed to assess the knowledge and skills outcomes of the syllabus
Students will be given feedback on each assessment task and the marks awarded for the task
Students are assessed in all subjects over Years 9-10. The final grade will be determined as late as possible in Year 10 and
will reflect a student’s level of achievement at that time
Students who study 100hr courses during either Year 9 and Year 10 will have the grades attained recorded on their Record of
School Achievement
Submission of hand in assessment tasks must be made during the class period on the due date to the class teacher, where the
staff member will acknowledge receipt by initialling the class list
Students are required to complete all scheduled assessment tasks. If a student is unable to complete a task, he/she should
notify the school as soon as possible and alternative arrangements will be made
For an unexpected absence on the day of an assessment task, the student’s parents/caregivers must contact the school on the
morning of and prior to the task taking place. On return to school the student must report to the subject Head Teacher or their
class teacher to discuss requirements regarding the missed assessment task.
Students who fail to complete assessment tasks will be sent a Non-completion (N) warning letter
Nyngan High School Stage 5 Assessment Schedule 2015 Page 6
STUDENTS WHO SUBMIT TASKS LATE
Students who submit tasks after the due date without excuse will lose 20% of the total marks for that task per school day.
One day late - 20% of total task marks deducted
Two days late - 40% of total task marks deducted
Three days late - 60% of total task marks deducted
Four days late - 80% of total task marks deducted
Five days late - 100% of total task marks deducted (but task must be completed)
eg – If you submit your task 3 days after the date due with no acceptable excuse then if the task is allocated 10 marks you will have 6
marks deducted from your score for that task.
