Part 1: Assessment Policy 1.1 Rationale
Assessment is a system using standards referenced frameworks. It involves tasks designed to produce an image of what students have achieved at a particular point in the teaching and learning process relative to the outcomes for the course. Assessment provides a link between the syllabus and performance standards.
This assessment policy is developed from specific advice relating to Assessment in individual courses in subject handbooks and circulars published by the Board of Studies.
It is designed with: (i) a focus on the outcomes (ii) a range of task types (iii) students knowing and understanding the outcomes to be assessed (iv) marking schemes based on the outcomes to be assessed.
Assessment is a process of identifying, gathering and interpreting information about students' learning. It is intended to provide a clear sense of the syllabus standards through its aims, objectives, outcomes and content.
Assessment tasks can be either of a formative; assessment for learning or of a summative nature; assessment of learning.
Areas of assessment should be observable and measurable demonstrating knowledge and skills objectives and outcomes from the syllabus.
The outcomes being assessed are those outcomes included in the teaching/learning programs.
Assessing student achievement is an integral part of teaching any course as it provides feedback to teachers, parents and students.
Assessment can also set the direction for ongoing teaching and learning strategies.
HSC Assessment Book – 2018 Page 2
Part 2: Assessment Procedures
2.1 Overview
Where there are two or more classes in a particular subject, who follow a particular course, assessment must be such that students are ranked across the entire course.
The following methods may assist with comparability:
(i) Common units of work throughout a year group.
(ii) Use of common tasks, in which case there could be one marker per task of agreed marking procedures.
(iii) Sharing of marking tasks so that one marker marks all of one section.
The cumulative assessment marks are never made available to students/parents.
Students' cumulative RANK ORDER must be given after each HSC task. The privacy of other students must be respected.
Changes to the Assessment Calendar are only permitted with the approval of the Leader of Curriculum and with APPROPRIATE notice to students.
This Assessment Booklet is the first notice of the task. Subject teachers will give further details prior to the task.
For assessment tasks that are handed in, the teacher will endeavour to provide the task criteria at least two weeks before the task is due.
For tests and examinations, the assessment booklet details the outcomes to be assessed. Separate notification is not required.
It is the responsibility of the teachers setting an assessment task to
(i) publish the full details of the task at least two weeks before the assessment is due.
(ii) incorporate the details onto the Student Assessment Calendar at the beginning of each term.
Each task will have a criterion sheet for the task based on the outcomes of the course.
HSC Assessment will commence concurrently with the HSC courses in Term 4 and will conclude prior to the date stipulated by BOSTES.
When a student changes schools before 30th June in the year of the HSC Examination, they will be assessed on the basis of work completed at this COLLEGE. After the 30th June the previous school is responsible for all assessment and moderating procedures.
2.2 Policy for Late Assessment
Assessment Tasks are to be given to the relevant subject teacher in the class on the due date.
Assessment tasks are due on the date of notification. They are to be handed to the class teacher during class time. Students do not have permission to continue working on tasks after the timetabled class.
HSC Assessment Book – 2018 Page 3
Students who do not hand in an assessment on the due date or fail to come to an assessment task scheduled on that due date without a counsellor’s report, doctor's certificate, police report or notification of funeral, may be awarded zero.
At 9 a.m. on their return to school after the missed task, the student must report to the Leader of Curriculum’s Office and arrange to complete the task. A student failing to report on the first day after a missed task will receive a zero for the task unless the student has negotiated an extension date for the task.
The teacher will issue a warning letter for any unexplained missed task.
Parents will be notified by an official warning letter in compliance with the Board of Studies. The student must comply with the requests of the letter. An 'N' Award will result if students do not meet their responsibilities.
The teacher will report the failure to complete the task to the Leader of Curriculum who places them on the BOS malpractice register.
Computer failure, USB error and printer malfunction are not excuses for late assessment. In the event of computer failure, drafts of the assessment task and USB must be submitted on the due date of the task.
2.3 Procedure When a Student is Absent for an Assessment Task
It is the student’s responsibility to notify the College if they will be absent for a task. They can phone the College on 66262600 and leave a message for the Leader of Learning or Leader of Curriculum.
Students who are absent the day of a task MUST obtain the relevant documentation explaining this absence, e.g. doctor’s certificate, police report, notification of a funeral etc.
Students who have supplied the College with a doctor's certificate, police report, notification of funeral, counsellor report or newspaper clippings, must submit the assessment task or sit for the task on their return at a time negotiated with the Leader of Curriculum.
If the nature of the task does not allow for this then an estimate may be given at the discretion of the Leader of Learning in consultation with the class teacher.
In the case of the student being isolated from school due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances the student needs to contact the College Leader of Curriculum as soon as possible. The student will then submit the task on their return to the College.
2.3a Procedure when a student is absent the day before an assessment task
This policy inclusion is to minimise students gaining an advantage over others.
All students must be present for the entire day before an assessment task.
It is the student’s responsibility to notify the College if they will be absent the day before an assessment task. This includes being absent on a Friday for a Monday assessment. They can phone the College on 66262600 and leave a message for the Leader of Learning or the Leader of Curriculum. Alternatively, they can email the Leader of Curriculum at [email protected]
If a student knows in advance that they will be away the day before an assessment task, they must speak with Mrs Connolly and/or obtain school approved leave for their absence.
Students who are away the day before an assessment task (even for a partial absence) must supply the College with a counsellor’s report, doctor’s certificate, police report or other documentation as discussed with the Leader of Curriculum.
HSC Assessment Book – 2018 Page 4
Students who do not obtain permission, talk to the Leader of Curriculum or present documentation for their absence will be issued with an N Warning Letter.
The academic penalty for this absence may be zero for the assessment task.
2.4 Procedure for Submitting an Assessment Task
Tasks are handed to the teacher in the timetabled lesson on the due date.
If the class is cancelled all assessments must be submitted to Student Services’ Office. It is the responsibility of the student to attain a dated, signed receipt. (see sample)
All assessments must be submitted as hard copy unless otherwise arranged.
2.5 Procedure for Asking for an Extension for an Assessment Task
A student is to apply for the extension of a task ideally one week before the due date. The Leader of Learning has the discretion to grant an extension.
Process:
(i) The student is to collect an extension request form from the Leader of Curriculum (See sample at the back of the booklet).
(ii) The student is to complete the form and have it signed by the relevant class teacher and Leader of Learning.
(iii) The class teacher will set a new date for the task if the extension is granted.
2.6 Students on Leave for Examinations and Assessment Tasks
Students who will be away on non-school business on assessment or examination dates need to apply for school leave.
If leave is approved, extensions can be granted for assessment tasks and examination dates can be changed. Students need to see the Leader of Curriculum for these.
If leave is classified as unjustified, students need to hand assessments in before they leave and examinations cannot be changed.
If a student is on unjustified leave on the date of an examination, they will receive zero for this examination.
2.7 Special Consideration
Special consideration is a process used by BOSTES and schools that allows pastoral considerations for students in the area of exams and assessments.
This process is predominantly used during exam periods but can also be extended depending on the circumstance.
This process allows the school to take into consideration, when marking, external circumstances which may have impacted on a student’s performance. There are few specific criteria because the process is supposed to be as open ended as possible to allow for diverse situations.
If you believe that you have been adversely affected for some reason during exams or on a particular assessment, please contact the Leader of Curriculum and further discussion around this issue will ensue. (See sample form at the back of the booklet.)
HSC Assessment Book – 2018 Page 5
2.8 Appeals Arising Over Assessment Tasks
If a dispute arises over marks awarded in any one task, then in the first instance an attempt at resolution is made by the concerned student and teacher in consultation with the Leader of Learning. If resolution is not made then the matter should be referred to the Leader of Curriculum. (See sample appeal form at the back of the booklet.)
Process for an appeal
(i) Appeals need to be lodged in writing within one (1) week of the date the determination was received.
(ii) The school will provide support in preparing an appeal if approached.
(iii) Appeals meeting these conditions will be reviewed within two (2) weeks of being received.
(iv) The review will focus on whether the determination conforms to school policy.
(v) Provided the review panel is satisfied these conditions have been met, no change to the determination will be made.
(vi) The panel will provide the appellant with written notification of the result of the review within one (1) week of the review.
(vii) The panel will consist of the Leader of Curriculum and the Leader of Learning.
Responsibilities
(i) Appellant
To lodge an appeal in writing with the relevant Leader of Learning within one (1) week of having initial appeal rejected by the class teacher, stating all reasons to be considered by the review panel.
(ii) Leader of Learning
To inform the Leader of Curriculum of the appeal on the day it is received to provide the Leader of Curriculum with copies of the appeal and the original written notice of the determination together with any other relevant documentation at the time of notification.
(iii) Leader of Curriculum
To form the review panel
To ensure the panel meets within two (2) weeks of the receipt of the appeal in the school.
To notify the appellant and the relevant Leader of Learning of the result of the review in writing within one week of the review.
2.9 Higher School Certificate Assessment Ranking Appeals
Students who feel that their HSC Assessment Ranking is inaccurate in any course are able to seek a school review of their assessment ranking. If the appeal is declined at school level they may subsequently appeal to the BOSTES. Appeals should be made in writing to the Leader of Curriculum or directly to the Principal.
A school review will ascertain whether:
The weightings for course components in the school assessment program conform with the Board’s requirements as detailed in the syllabus;
The school’s procedures for determining assessments conform with its stated assessment program;
HSC Assessment Book – 2018 Page 6
There are no clerical or computational errors in the determination of the assessment mark.
Once the review has been undertaken the Principal or Leader of Curriculum will respond in writing to the student indicating that a change to the assessment ranking will be made.
The school will return to the Board of Studies on Assessment Review Schedule detailing all reviews sought by students.
Students may appeal to the Board of Studies in writing if the Appeal is not upheld at the school level.
Appeal to the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards
Where possible, all reviews will be resolved within the school. However, provision exists for subsequent appeals to the Board. There is no provision for appeals against the marks awarded for individual assessment tasks. The Board will consider only whether:
(a) the school review process was adequate for determining that:
the weightings for course components in the school assessment program conform with the Board’s requirements as detailed in the syllabus;
the school’s procedures for determining the final assessment mark conform with its stated assessment program – in particular the weightings used for the various assessment tasks should be consistent with those specified in the assessment program;
there are no computational or other clerical errors in the determination of the assessment mark.
(b) the conduct of the school review was proper in all respects.
If the appeal is upheld, the Board will refer the matter back to the school for a further review. The results of that review may affect the assessment of the student making the appeal and/or the assessments of other students. This may then be reflected in the moderated assessment marks for all students so affected.
The Board will not consider further appeals from other students whose assessment ranking may be affected by reviews or appeals. Although initiated by individual students, the reviews and appeals related to the assessment process and are designed to correct any errors affecting the assessment for the entire school group.
Appeals should be submitted through the school on the official forms which can be found on Schools Online under ‘Memos and Documents’.
2.10 Plagiarism What is plagiarism? The use of another person’s words or ideas without stating where they came from is a
form of theft called PLAGIARISM.
Why be concerned?
it is dishonest
it is unfair to you and to others
it is illegal under the Copyright Act 1968
Deliberate plagiarism
buying or stealing an essay or response
hiring someone to write your report or assignment
copying from any source without citing it
HSC Assessment Book – 2018 Page 7
Accidental plagiarism
using someone’s ideas without reference to that person
using ‘notes’ which are actually ‘quotes’
To avoid plagiarism, the following sources must always be cited:
internet: websites
CD ROMS
Magazines/newspapers, pamphlets, books, letters, advertisements
Music, TV programs/movies
Personal interviews. Teachers/lecturers
Maps, quotations, paraphrases, summaries
Other students’ work, others’ ideas
There is no need to cite:
own experiences
when using common knowledge
own experimental results
Note taking tips to avoid plagiarism:
always write new information in point form
identify your source immediately after every point or phrase
add each new source to a list which will become a bibliography
ensure all details are kept of each source – eg. author, title, publication details, website
use your own phrases – don’t rely on exact phrases from the source
put quotation marks around each direct quote (text, table, statistics, logo, image, graph, map etc or anything that is not your own work) – record the source and page number of the quote and write this next to the quote or as a footnote.
(Taken from Plagiarism Posters 1 to 4, Syba Signs 2002)
For further reminders of these issues, the posters are on display in the Library.
2.11 Malpractice / Plagiarism / Cheating
Students need to be made aware of the rules associated with plagiarised work.
The teacher who suspects malpractice is to report the offence to the Leader of Learning.
Students who are suspected of plagiarism will be interviewed by the Leader of Learning and asked to provide evidence of research in note or draft form.
Students who are suspected of cheating will be interviewed by the Leader of Learning who places them on the discipline level system.
Students who are found to have plagiarised or cheated will receive zero for the task.
Parents will be notified by letter or phone by the Leader of Learning.
In these cases the student is given one week to complete the task or similar task.
In relation to the study of Modern Languages, students are reminded that the use of online translation websites (like Google Translate or similar sites) and/or apps are considered a form of plagiarism. Suspected use of such sites or apps will be investigated by the class teacher and may result in the awarding of a zero mark.
2.12 Use of the Internet / Computers
We encourage students to use the Internet and other information sources in the development of their assignments.
HSC Assessment Book – 2018 Page 8
Students must acknowledge sources, the web site address and the date accessed is the appropriate method to acknowledge internet sites.
Students are to keep evidence of their research process including notes, plans etc in case of computer failure.
2.13 Referencing
What is referencing? Referencing is a standardised way of acknowledging the sources of information and ideas that you have used in your assignments. This allows the sources to be identified.
Why reference? Referencing is important to avoid plagiarism, to verify quotations and to enable readers to identify and follow up to works to which you have referred. A System of Reference Systems of reference refer to the way students cite the material that they have used in their assessments and how they create a reference list or bibliography to acknowledge all of the sources they have used in their research. It is important to remember that not all systems of reference are the same and that different disciplines may have different methods of referencing that they would like you to use. Which referencing style should I use?
There is no standard style used at Woodlawn
In some cases there is a standard style used by a particular discipline, but even
in those cases it is still possible that a particular teacher or subject may require
a different style
Students should check with their teacher before they begin their assessment
Two popular styles of referencing include the Harvard System and the APA System,
both of which are very similar.
For more information on the wide range of referencing styles, please refer to the
following link
https://www.library.uq.edu.au/help/referencing-style-guides
What is the difference between a Bibliography and a reference list? A reference list includes just the books, articles, and web pages etc that are cited in
the text of the document. A bibliography includes all sources consulted for background reading. The student planner contains further information of referencing, bibliographies and reference lists.
HSC Assessment Book – 2018 Page 9
Part 3: Student Responsibilities
3.1 Board of Studies Requirements
The Board of Studies gives the following criteria for the completion of a course. "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." If a student is in danger of not satisfactorily completing the course a warning letter will be sent home in time for them to address the issue.
3.2 Student Responsibilities Beyond Assessment Tasks Satisfactory application to "in-class" tasks other than "School Assessment Tasks" is
necessary in order to complete the overall requirements of a course. Students are required to have a satisfactory attendance and conduct record.
3.3 Satisfactory Completion of a Course For courses where assessments are submitted, students must make a genuine
attempt at all tasks. It is emphasised that completion of assessment tasks worth exactly 50% is not sufficient; tasks work in excess of 50% must be attempted. It is worth noting that students may be requested to resubmit any work which is deemed a non-genuine attempt, especially if they have received an official warning.
3.4 Attendance The school expects students to be present for all scheduled classes and school
functions. If you are absent you must provide written support detailing reasons for your absence. Any prolonged absence needs to first be approved by the Principal.
3.4 Changes of Course Any student wishing to change a course must complete a change of course application
located in the Leader of Curriculum’s office. The application needs to be signed by the Course Teacher, Leader of Learning, Leader of Curriculum and parents. An interview may be requested, to determine the best possible progression for each application/student.
Changes to courses will be closed four weeks prior to an examination period.
All changes need to be made in consultation with the Leader of Curriculum.

Assessment
ALL assessment in Vocational Education courses are based on competency based assessment.
Competency based assessment The purpose of assessment is to judge competence on the basis of performance against the performance criteria set out under each element of competency. A participant is judged either competent or not yet competent. Competency based assessment incorporates all aspects of skill performance, including problem solving and the capacity to apply skills and knowledge in both familiar and new situations. Assessment of competence involves the assessment of skills and knowledge combined. Competency based assessment must meet the four principles of validity, reliability, fairness and flexibility. Competency assessment is the process where evidence is gathered and a decision or judgement is made based on that evidence against nationally endorsed competency standards. Therefore, to be deemed competent a student must demonstrate to a nationally qualified assessor that they can effectively carry out the various tasks and combination of tasks listed to the national industry standard required. There is NO mark awarded in competency based assessment. A mark or grade will not appear for these subjects on school reports. Students are assessed as either Competent, Not yet competent, or Ongoing assessment. A student needs to be deemed competent in all areas of competency in order to receive the relevant Certificate for that course. A Statement of Attainment will be awarded for students who are not deemed competent in all competencies. An accurate record of all students learning is kept via the teachers competency register. This means that student performance is judged against a prescribed standard, not against the performance of other students. It also means a student is judged either competent or not yet competent in relation to the prescribed learning outcomes. These courses will be listed on the Preliminary and/or HSC Records of Achievement, together with the unit value of the course. A MANDATORY requirement for all VET courses is that students participate in an Industry Work Placement. This is an important part of their assessment and must be satisfactorily completed in order to receive a Certificate of Attainment.

Glossary of key words
A major goal for the New Higher School Certificate was that students should understand more clearly what they are expected to do to reach high standards.
These key words also appear frequently in outcomes statements and performance descriptions across HSC courses.
Purpose
The purpose behind the glossary was to help students to prepare better for the HSC by showing them that certain key words were used similarly in exam questions across the different subjects they were studying.
It is important to note that exam questions for the HSC will also 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 exam papers.
Key words and levels of response
Along with the mark value and space provided in exam booklets, the key words can help a student to judge how much an answer needs to cover.
The table below provides a general guide to the kind of response required by each of the key words. The table is not intended to be prescriptive, and you will notice that some key words appear in more than one row.
Groupings of syllabus knowledge, skills and understanding
Groupings of key words
Skills in analysis and critical thinking
Analyse, distinguish, examine, explain, extract, investigate
Skills in application and performance

Skills in problem solving Apply, calculate, clarify, compare, contrast, construct, deduce, demonstrate, investigate, predict, propose, recommend
Skills in synthesis and creative thinking

The left-hand column in the table is a grouping of the knowledge, skills and understanding typically found in Stage 6 syllabuses.
The key words from the glossary are grouped in the right hand column alongside the groupings of knowledge, skills and understanding.
The terms in the right-hand column such as ‘describe’, ‘identify’ and ‘outline’ are typically used in questions requiring recall of knowledge. Questions using these terms generally require less depth and are worth fewer marks than questions using terms such as ‘assess’, ‘evaluate’ and ‘justify’ which call for higher-order thinking. The latter generally require an answer of greater depth and usually attract higher marks.
Other terms such as ‘explain’ and ‘discuss’ can vary considerably in the mark value and depth of response required.

HOW TO REQUEST AN APPEAL OF YOUR RESULTS
Appeals have to be lodged NO LATER than one week after your results have been released. Before lodging an appeal, please check that you have done the following:
I have spoken with my teacher and/or the Leader of Learning for this subject to and have sought an explanation as to how my mark was calculated and why I have received the mark I was awarded.
Results for a task can be appealed on the following grounds only:
You have grounds to believe that the process resulting in your mark has been unfair; in which case, you have to attach a clear statement explaining your concerns, eg. The results were not calculated based on the marking criteria. You believe there has been an error in the process.
Why an appeal might not be considered:
Dissatisfaction with your grade is not considered grounds for appeal. You appealed the result outside the given timeframe. If a student is away for a longer period of time and the absence is not school approved leave or covered by a Doctor’s certificate, your appeal will not be heard.
