REQUIREMENTS FOR AWARD OF THE NSW RECORD
OF SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT The NSW Record of School Achievement (ROSA) is generally awarded to eligible students after four
years of secondary school. In Years 7 to 10, students study a variety of courses to qualify for the
award of the NSW Record of School Achievement. As well as taking the necessary combination of
courses, they are also required to apply themselves satisfactorily to their studies.
Eligibility requirements
To be eligible for the award of the NSW ROSA, you are required to attend a government School or
an accredited non-government school. This is usually for a period of four years between the ages of
11 and 16 years. You must follow and complete the pattern of courses required by NESA.
To complete a course of study for the NSW Record of School Achievement, you must have a
satisfactory record of application (effort).
While formal ROSA credentials are only for school leavers, all Year 10 students will be able to
access their results electronically and print a transcript of their results.
Only students who leave school and who satisfy eligibility requirements for the ROSA will receive
the formal credential.
Students who leave school and who are not eligible for the ROSA will be able to receive a
Transcript of Study at their time of departure. The Transcript of Study will contain the same
information as the ROSA for courses satisfactorily completed.
All students will also have access to a record of their grades through Students Online.
Students who receive their HSC will be able to receive a ROSA at the same time as their HSC,
detailing their achievement in their earlier years of study.
Course requirements
Over the four years leading up to the ROSA, you need to have studied the following courses:
English - studied substantially in each of Years 7-10 with 400 hours to be completed by the end of
Year 10.
Mathematics - studied substantially in each of Years 7-10 with 400 hours to be completed by the end
of Year 10.
Science - studied substantially in each of Years 7-10 with 400 hours to be completed by the end of
Year 10.
Human Society and Its Environment- studied substantially in each of Years 7-10 with 400 hours
to be completed by the end of Year 10. Included in this requirement is at least 100 hours of Australian
History and 100 hours of Australian Geography.
Creative Arts - studied for 200 hours and comprising the 100-hour courses in each of Visual Arts
and Music.
Technological and Applied Studies - studied for 200 hours and consisting of the Technology
Mandatory course. At least 50 hours of the course must be devoted to learning about and using
2018 NSW Record of School Achievement Assessment Procedures
6
computers.
Personal Development, Health and Physical Education - studied in each of Years 7-10 with 300
hours to be completed by the end of Year 10.
Languages - studied for at least 100 hours, to be completed in one language over one continuous 13
month period between Years 7 and 10 but preferably in Years 7-8.
N.B. 100 hours is roughly equivalent to 4 periods per week over 40 weeks.
Absence during the year
Principals may grant students leave for legitimate reasons such as illness, physical injury or holidays.
If leave has been granted during the year there will be no effect on course completion requirements
provided that you have completed compensatory assignments during the period of absence or have
been able to catch up on missed work on your return to school.
If absence is prolonged and work is not possible during the period, the principal may judge that it is
not feasible to make up the work during the year.
Any extensive period of unapproved absence may result in non completion of a course(s) and may
impact on your eligibility for the award of the ROSA.
Final date for attendance
It is a requirement for the ROSA, that Year 10 students attend School until the final day of Year 10
as determined by the School system or principal, unless an exemption has been granted by the
principal.
Satisfactory completion requirements
For the satisfactory completion of a course, it is your responsibility to:
i. complete all assigned work including each assessment task to the best of your ability;
ii. ensure that any questions about marks, grades or comments awarded for an individual piece
of work are resolved at the time the work is handed back by the teacher and
iii. demonstrate that through effort and achievement you have met the requirements of the course.
The 'N' determination
You will receive an 'N' determination in a course if you do not:
follow the course developed or endorsed by NESA; and
(a) apply yourself with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in
the course by the school; and
(b) achieve some or all of the course outcomes.
Satisfactory completion of courses is judged, among other things, by your attendance and level of
involvement in class, the proportion of assignments, homework, etc completed and your level of
achievement.
If the principal determines that you are in danger of not completing a course satisfactorily, you will
be warned in writing in time for you to correct the problem and satisfactorily complete the course.
If you are deemed not to have completed a course, you will receive an ‘N’ beside the course on your
Record of Achievement.
2018 NSW Record of School Achievement Assessment Procedures

Technology If a student completes an assessment task using technology 1, then it is the student’s responsibility to:
i. take the required steps to learn and be able to use such technology,
ii. ascertain the compatibility of the technology2 for such a purpose,
iii. plan for the availability and supply of such things as USBs, disks, paper and toner for the
printer,
iv. take steps to back up their own files and data.
Students can NOT use the failure or incompatibility of technology to justify the failure to submit an
assessment task.
It is a student’s responsibility to plan for all eventualities including the non-availability of school
computers, printers, scanners, cameras or other supplies, and make their own provisions to safeguard,
protect3 and backup their own data and files.
Students must also submit hard copies of digital work. This means students are to negotiate with their
teachers or follow the faculty policies with regards to printing work that exists as web pages or as
presentations. It is unreasonable to expect that students will print huge numbers of pages, where a
sample could suffice. Teachers and faculties have the right to restrict the amount of printing carried
out on the school’s printers. Teachers also have the right to specify how the work is to be presented.
Students are not to take for granted that teachers can or will mark their work from Moodle, thumb
drives, web sites or emails. Teachers cannot be expected to be responsible for work presented
electronically when it is well known that technology does fail, USBs may not open and web servers
can go down. Teachers are not to be expected to print student's work, when it is the student’s
responsibility. If students plan their work accordingly, then teachers may be willing to accommodate
their needs.
School Certificate entry procedures Your school will complete a ROSA entry for you and send it to NESA in Term 1.
In turn you will receive a Confirmation of Entry Notice. Please check it to ensure all details are
correct, including the spelling of your name and the courses for which you are entered.
Any changes to your entry must be notified to your school immediately so that the school can inform
NESA.
You will be required to sign the Confirmation of Entry when it is correct.
Reporting methods
Your achievements will be reported by two separate methods at the end of Year 10.
The school will award you grades from A-E for all 200-hour courses studied in Stage 5, and for all
100 hour courses studied in Stage 5, provided that a 200-hour course has been recorded in a Key
Learning Area other than English, Mathematics and Science. These grades will take into account your
performance in school-based assessment tasks and will be based on performance descriptors issued
by NESA.
1 e.g. computers, scanners, digital cameras, 2 e.g. hardware, software, interface, disk drives, thumb drives 3 e.g. virus attack, hard disk crash, operating system failure, computer failure
2018 NSW Record of School Achievement Assessment Procedures

Grading NESA has developed a set of General Performance Descriptors that describe five levels of
achievement, A-E. The table below gives an indication of how these levels help to assess your
performance.
For each course, a set of Course Performance Descriptors has been developed based on the General
Performance Descriptors. Each descriptor is a positive statement about achievement related to the
knowledge and skills relevant to the course.
Teachers will collect assessment information about your achievements in a course and relate it to the
Course Performance Descriptors. This information will assist the school in making the final judgment
of the grade to award you at the end of the Preliminary Course.
No grades will be awarded for Life Skills courses. These are reported through the achievement of
outcomes on the Student Profile.
Grade General Performance Descriptors
A Indicates excellent achievement in the course. The student has an extensive
knowledge and understanding of the course content and can readily apply this
knowledge. In addition, the student has achieved a high level of competence in
the processes and skills of the course and can apply these skills to new
situations.
B Indicates high achievement in the course. The student has a thorough
knowledge and understanding of the course content and competence in the
processes and skills of the course. In addition, the student is able to apply the
knowledge and skills to most recent situations.
C Indicates substantial achievement in the course. The student has demonstrated
attainment of the main knowledge and skills objectives of the subject and has
achieved a sound level of competence in the processes and skills of the course.
D Indicates satisfactory achievement in the course. The student has demonstrated
an acceptable level of knowledge and understanding of the course content and
has achieved a basic level of competence in the processes and skills of the
course.
E Indicates elementary achievement in the course. The student has an
elementary knowledge and understanding of the course content and has
achieved limited competence in some of the processes and skills of the course.

Assessment Schedules At Westfields Sports each faculty has prepared an Assessment Schedule for its ROSA course(s) which
outlines the tasks which will assist teachers in determining the Grade to be awarded to students. These
tasks may be physical, written, oral, aural, graphic or numerical in nature. The number and type of
tasks will vary from subject to subject so included in the assessment schedules in this booklet is an
outline of the type/ number of tasks, the relative value of the task, if applicable, and usually a
predicted time of when the task will take place. Students will receive more specific details about each
subject’s assessment tasks from their class teacher. They will also be informed well in advance, and
in writing, of any change to assessment schedules.
Non Assessable Tasks There are only a limited number of tasks in each assessment schedule. In order for students to gain
competence in the skills required for these tasks, it is important to realise that there will be other tasks
required from students. These other tasks allow students practice in the particular skills, permit
feedback from teachers and may also form the basis on which school based reporting and certification
of having satisfactorily completed the particular course of study is made.
Presenting an Assessable Task Assessable tasks should be submitted on or before the date due. Students are advised to hand tasks
directly to the teacher concerned. A school Assessable Task Submission Slip is available with a tear
off section to keep as a record of having submitted the task. Students are encouraged to use this
system. As an added security measure, students are advised to keep a copy of the task where possible.
Failure to Submit an Assessment Task In order to have studied a course satisfactorily, a candidate is expected to have attempted all
assessment tasks. If a student fails to submit an assessment task and the school recognises a valid
reason (Illness / Approved Leave), then a substitute task may be given by the teacher. Absence from
an Assessment Task — Illness/Misadventure.
Misadventure is any unforeseen event which prevents the candidate from attending a scheduled task.
It is the responsibility of the candidate to inform the Deputy Principal of the absence, and its reason,
as soon as possible after it is apparent the candidate will be unable to attend. Any application for
special consideration should be submitted on the special form provided, on or preferably, before the
due date. These forms are available from the Deputy Principal.
A medical certificate or similar, relevant, appropriate certificate will be required to show valid
reason for absence, on any grounds, from an Assessment Task.
The presentation of a certificate will be deemed to be an application to undertake a substitute task.
In cases where the absence is accepted as valid, the Head Teacher will direct the preparation of a
substitute task from which an equivalent task will be determined.
The date of the administration of the substitute task will be decided having regard to all other relevant
factors at a time most convenient to the school and the student.
Where grounds for accident/illness/misadventure exist, then the following provisions will apply.
An Extension of time may be granted by the Head Teacher.
A Substitute Task (and a time limit) may be given by the Head Teacher.
An Estimate may be given by the Head Teacher, but this will only be used in exceptional
circumstances. I.e. where the completion of a substitute task is not feasible, is unreasonable, or where
the missed task is difficult to duplicate. The Head Teacher may authorise the use of an estimate based
on other appropriate evidence.
A "Z" score based on marks gained in previous Assessment Tasks may be calculated by the Head
Teacher.

Malpractice It is expected that any assessable task submitted will be the students own work. In the event of
malpractice (cheating) being detected, the task in question will be awarded a zero and the assessable
task regarded as a non-attempt. Students who willingly share whole or part of an assessable task with
others also run the risk of having their task designated as a non-attempt.

ABSENCE FROM AN ASSESSABLE TASK Senior assessment tasks are a compulsory and necessary component of the School Certificate and
Higher School Certificate. Absence from an assessable task could be an indication of a student's non-
serious attempt, placing at risk the award of the School Certificate or the Higher School Certificate.
It is the responsibility of a student who fails to submit an assessable task to make proper application for consideration
under the published rules of the Assessment Procedures.

Plagiarism Plagiarism means presenting the ideas and words of others as if they were your own. Creating your
own work and using the work of others which you have acknowledged is not plagiarism.
What you must do to avoid plagiarism:
1. you must give a reference if you take a fact or idea directly from someone else
2. if you use the exact words of your source (if you quote), then you must enclose the whole quotation in inverted
commas. If you don't use quotation marks, you can be accused of plagiarism
3. use your own words if you take information from other sources
The school reserves the right to award a zero mark to work that contains any plagiarism at all.
Referencing Referencing, or making a citation, is a way of acknowledging the work of others which you have used in your task or
assignment. Some people refer to this is a bibliography.
The order for documenting references for books, journals and periodicals is as follows:
author's surname and initials
year of publication
title of publication in italics with maximal capitalisation
title of series, volume number, edition, if applicable
editor, reviser, compiler or translator, if other than the author
publisher
place of publication
page number or numbers, if applicable
For example
Popper, K.R. 1961, The Poverty of Historicism, Routledge & Kegan Paul, London.
Online (electronic) material:
for electronic media (World Wide Web) the order for references is as follows:
author’s surname and initials
date of publication
date of revision in parentheses in day-month-year format
date accessed in parentheses in day-month-year format
title of article in single quotation marks with minimal capitalisation
title of work in italics with maximal capitalisation
address of site, written on a separate line if necessary to avoid hyphenation, which can cause confusion
For example, a World Wide Web site may be quoted like this:
