PRINCIPAL’S INTRODUCTION
This booklet will assist Year 7 students and their parents/carers to stay up‐to‐date with assessment requirements in 2019. Outlined in this booklet is the school’s assessment policy and information about the responsibilities of the school, faculties and students when completing course assessment.
We encourage students and parents to read this booklet carefully to ensure they are aware of procedures for:
- Missing an assessment task due to illness or personal circumstances. - Submitting an assessment task late (i.e. after the duedate) - Not making a serious attempt during an assessment task - Copying someone else’s work and submitting it as your own
We encourage all students to complete work by the due date, including homework tasks issued by their classroom teachers. This will help students to develop skills in organisation and prepare them for the later years of high school.
If a student is experiencing difficulty completing a task, they are encouraged to talk to their classroom teacher before the due date to seek assistance. Alternatively, parents/carers are also able to contact the school and speak with teachers.
Students will receive a copy of this booklet at the start of Term 1, when staff will also explain how to use the booklet. A copy of this booklet is also available on the school’s website, should the paper copy be misplaced.
If additional questions arise or support for a student is required throughout the year, we encourage parents/carers to contact the school on 9824‐7777:

STAGE 4 ASSESSMENT POLICY
Purpose of Assessment
Year 7 students will complete assessment tasks as part of their studies in each subject. Assessment allows students to show their knowledge and understanding in a variety of ways, and reflects both their achievement and improvement over time.
Students' marks are to be tallied at the end of each semester or rotation, and a final mark for each course out of 100 is determined for reporting purposes each semester. This mark is then used to assign grades on student reports using the following grade distribution table as a guide.
A 85‐100
B 70‐84
C 45‐69
D 30‐44
E 0‐29
School Responsibilities:
1. Each faculty will set a maximum number of four assessment tasks for their subject that are outlined to students at the start of the year in the Year 7 Assessment Booklet. Written notification of each specific task is provided to students by teachers at least a fortnight before the task.
2. Class work may also be used for assessment purposes and could include informal
class tasks, homework tasks, bookwork, exercises and collaborative/group work. It should not include: marks for neatness of bookwork, marks based on student attendance and observation/participation marks.
3. Assessment tasks will be returned to students with marks and feedback, once a task has been completed. This is will be within a two week period and could include marker’s notes, oral feedback and individual written feedback.
4. For speaking, performance and presentation tasks, individuals/groups will be
5
selected at random to set the order of presentation. All students should be prepared to present on the first day of the task to ensure fairness.
5. If a student is concerned about a mark they have received, they should speak to the teacher who marked the task. If there is still concern, the Head Teacher of the subject should be approached to resolve the issue. If the issue cannot be resolved, the student can appeal to the Assessment and Reporting team for review.
6. Parents/carers will be informed in writing by the school if their child receives a zero mark in an assessment task or exam, clearly explaining the reasons for the mark of zero. Letters of concern may also be sent if a student is not submitting work or is causing concern in the classroom.
Faculty Responsibilities:
1. Provide students with an assessment task outline at least two weeks before the task due date, using the school‐wide assessment task proforma. This will include details such as task description, weighting, outcomes assessed, a marking rubric and a due date. It should clearly explain what students are required to do to demonstrate their learning.
2. All students should sign for receipt of assessment tasks on the Assessment Task record sheet. A hard copy should be retained by each faculty.
3. If a due date is changed, faculties will inform students in writing.
4. Notify parents of zero marks or other concerns with a student’s assessment task
within two weeks of the task. e.g. copying another student’s work, disruption of an task.
5. Ensure consistency and fairness in the assessment task process. Teachers are not to arrange for students to complete tasks early due to vacation/holiday leave or estimate marks in these situations.
6. Retain a student sample (low/mid/high) for each formal assessment task:
Common/Year Tasks ‐ 3 samples of each range
Class/Small Cohort Tasks – 1 sample of each range
6
7. It is the Head Teacher’s responsibility to ensure task dates are set in Term 1 and added to the School calendar on Sentral. Failure to submit tasks dates may result in tasks being unable to run on preferred date due to calendar clashes.
8. All tasks should be based on the skills and content that has been explicitly taught and developed in class. All tasks should have clear links to course outcomes that are also reflected in faculty teaching programs and registers.
9. It is the Head Teachers’ responsibility to oversee the review of assessment tasks each
year to ensure their academic rigor and currency with NESA requirements.
Student Responsibilities:
1. Students absent from assessment tasks completed in class on a due date will receive zero marks unless they have a medical illness or an extenuating personal circumstance. If a student misses a task, they should complete the forms provided in this booklet and submit them to the Head Teacher of the subject the next day at School.
2. If a student misses an assessment task, they should be prepared to sit the task on the day they return to School. If a student's reason for absence is accepted, then the Head Teacher may set the same task (provided that this does not disadvantage other students) or set an alternate task. In exceptional circumstances, the Principal or Deputy Principal may direct that an estimate be given.
3. If an assessment task involves handing in an assignment/task, students must hand this on the due date at the start of the timetabled period. If a student submits a task late, without an request for special consideration, they will lose marks:
1 day late 25% mark deduction 2 days late 50% mark deduction
After 2 days A mark of zero is awarded
4. Students who anticipate that they will be absent on the date of a task (e.g. when involved in representative sport, religious holiday, festival etc.) must notify their teacher at least three days in advance, in writing, countersigned by a parent or guardian. If the student misses a task because of a participation in a school program or medical reason, a request for special consideration must be submitted.
7
5. Students absent for long periods due to illness for exams or assessment tasks should ring the school, and then submit a completed request for special consideration with a medical certificate to the Front Office.
6. In exceptional circumstances of medical or family emergencies, and where documentation is provided, a student may apply for an extension through the ‘Request for Special Consideration’ form.
7. Vacation leave is not considered exempt leave by the Department of Education, Students who are absent from an in‐class task will receive zero marks. Any assignments must be submitted before the student leaves or a mark of zero will also beawarded.
8. Students must ensure work submitted is their own, original work. If working in a group this must be the group’s original work. No student should copy another student’s work, ask another student to complete a task for them or present work they obtain from external sources as their own e.g. tutor’s work, internet, past student work. Students who do so will receive a mark of zero. If this occurs, parents will be notified via a letter of concern.
9. Students must behave appropriately during assessment tasks and exams, and follow teacher instructions. Using mobile phones, disrupting others and cheating will be referred to the Head Teacher who may award a mark of zero.
10. Students must make a serious attempt at all tasks. This means: - attempting the majority of questions and sections of an exam paper/task - avoiding inappropriate, off task comments and/or drawings.
11. Teachers will inform absent students of assessment information, but students who are absent when assessment information is handed out are responsible for finding out that information.
