1. Introduction
This document provides information relating to the internal assessment of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) courses at Kiama High School. The purpose of internal assessment is to:
• assist student learning • evaluate and improve teaching and learning programs • assess student achievement in the course • provide evidence of satisfactory completion of the course
At the end of Term 3, 2016, the school will submit an internal assessment mark and rank for each student to the Board of Studies, Teaching & Educational Standards NSW (BOSTES). The mark is intended to indicate the student’s achievements at the end of the HSC course. Assessment marks are based on:
x a wider range of syllabus outcomes than can be measured by the external examination x multiple measures and observations made throughout the HSC course, rather than a single
assessment event. Measuring achievement at several points during the course can provide a better indication of student achievement than a single, final assessment event. This also caters for knowledge and skills outcomes that are better assessed in specific settings or times, such as fieldwork and practical skills.
2. The Assessment Program
The 2016 HSC Assessment Program begins during Term 4, 2015 and will continue up to the end of the Trial HSC Examinations in Term 3, 2016 - (Exploring Early Childhood, History Extension and Textiles & Design excepted). This booklet outlines the:
x Number of tasks x Weightings for each task x Scheduling of tasks – Terms and weeks. There is, generally, two weeks’ notice for the specific
task throughout the assessment period. x General nature of tasks x KHS policies with respect to student absences for tasks, late submission of tasks, illness and
misadventure processes, addressing malpractice, and student appeals. While the schedule is provided as a guide, unforeseen circumstances may result in a change of date for an assessment task. Generally, students should expect at least two weeks’ notice in writing if a change is necessary. 3. Assessment Marks and Rankings
Students will be provided with an assessment mark (and rank where appropriate) for each assessment task completed. If necessary, students should appeal against an individual assessment mark or ranking at the time the mark and ranking are received. In addition, students will be supplied with a course ranking for each reporting period and a final overall ranking, supplied after the completion of the Higher School Certificate Examinations at Kiama High School.

4. Assessment for Vocational Education & Training Courses
Students studying Vocational Education and Training Courses will follow a different assessment program. Ongoing assessment is carried out within both the classroom and the workplace to achieve units of competency. For those students who choose to sit the external HSC Examination in their VET course, an estimated examination mark is submitted to BOSTES. This mark reflects the student’s performance in formal examinations (half-yearly and Trial HSC, where applicable) and is used ONLY if a student applies for consideration under the Illness/Misadventure processes of BOSTES. This mark is NOT reported on a student’s HSC, unless the Illness/Misadventure appeal has been upheld. During 2016, VET students will be offered the opportunity to elect to sit the optional external HSC written examination, allowing for the VET course to be included in an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) calculation. During Year 12, 35 hours of work placement must be completed. This is a BOSTES requirement. 5. Satisfactory Completion of Courses
BOSTES has stipulated that 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. Students must make a genuine attempt to complete course requirements and it is a matter for the teacher’s professional judgement to determine whether a student has made a genuine attempt to complete the requirements. Further, for courses where internal assessment marks are submitted, a student must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks that contribute in excess of 50% of the available marks. It is emphasised that completion of assessment tasks worth exactly 50% is not sufficient. Students must also fulfil the course completion criteria, above. In the case of competency-based courses, where a student has not successfully completed any units of competency, it is a matter for the teacher’s professional judgement to determine whether the attempts made by the student to complete the course are genuine. Where students are studying a HSC course that includes a requisite examination, students must sit for and make a genuine attempt at the examination. Students studying VET Industry Curriculum Framework courses must complete the mandatory work placement hours in order to be deemed satisfactory. Until a student presenting for a Higher School Certificate has satisfactorily completed courses totalling
4
at least 12 units of Preliminary courses and 10 units of HSC courses that satisfy the Board’s pattern of study requirements, the student will not be eligible to receive the award of a Higher School Certificate. Students who have not complied with the above requirements cannot be regarded as having satisfactorily completed the course. The Principal will then apply the "N" determination. If, at any time, it appears that a student is at risk of being given an "N" (non-completion of course requirements) determination in any course, the Principal must warn the student as soon as possible and advise the parent or guardian - in writing, if the student is under 18 years of age. Students are expected to complete all tasks required – both assessable and non-assessable – in all courses they are studying. 6. ‘N’ Determinations
If, at any time, it appears that a student is at risk of receiving an ‘N’ Determination (non-completion of course requirements) in any course, the Principal must:
x Advise the student of the tasks or actions to be undertaken in time for the problem to be corrected and alert the student to the possible consequences of an ‘N’ Determination;
x Advise the parent or guardian, in writing, if the student is under the age of 18; x Request from the student/parent/guardian a written acknowledgement of the warning; x Issue at least one follow-up warning letter, if the first letter is not effective.
7. Attendance
Principals may determine that, as the result of absence, the course completion criteria might not be met. Students whose attendance is called into question will be required to prove, to the Principal's satisfaction, that they are meeting the course criteria. At Kiama High School, students who are absent for more than 8 days per term may have their performance reviewed. In individual subjects, students who are absent for 8 periods in a subject per term may also have their performance reviewed. 8. Student Responsibilities
Students must: • ensure they have a copy of the Assessment Schedule for each course studied; • ask their class teacher, after absences, whether any assessment notification has been given; • present work according to the schedule of dates for assessment tasks; • be aware of the penalties for late or non-submission of assessment tasks; • be aware of the procedure to be followed if absent when a task is to be submitted, or
completed in class; • satisfactorily explain all full and partial absences; • submit Illness/Misadventure Applications, with supporting documentation, within three days
of return to school after an absence, when necessary.
5
When submitting work, students must: • present their own work; • submit work in an appropriate format; • submit assessment tasks BEFORE 8.55am on the due date, unless they are to be completed as
a discrete task in a scheduled lesson on the prescribed day; • not interfere with the efforts of others.
9. Teacher Responsibilities
The Deputy Principal/Head Teacher - Secondary Studies must ensure that students have a copy of the Assessment Schedule. Class teachers must:
• follow the Assessment Schedule for their course; • provide students at least two-weeks’ written notice of the date of an assessment task,
following BOSTES protocol for HSC internal assessment; • ensure that absent students receive the information the next time the student attends the
class; • schedule tasks, as best as possible, such that they do not conflict with other assessment tasks; • negotiate a suitable date with students concerned, in the event that an assessment task
needs to be rescheduled. Generally, at least two-weeks’ written notice should be given. • ensure that no assessment tasks are scheduled after the Trial HSC, with the exception of
History Extension and Exploring Early Childhood, both of which require the submission of ongoing major tasks.
10. Illness/Misadventure Appeals
As has been mentioned, it is a student’s responsibility to ensure that they are present for scheduled Assessment Tasks. If, however, a student becomes ill or suffers an accident that prevents the student from attending school, completing a scheduled task or submitting an Assessment Task by the due date, the student should submit an Illness/Misadventure application form. These are available from the Head Teacher – Secondary Studies in E1. Completed Illness/Misadventure Applications, together with supporting documentation, must be returned to the Head Teacher – Secondary Studies within three days of a student’s return to school, after an absence, or within three days of the assessment task date, if there was no absence from school. A sample of the Illness/Misadventure Application is available at the back of this booklet. Further information about Grounds for Appeal under Illness/Misadventure may be found at the BOSTES website: http://ace.bos.nsw.edu.au/ace-11004. BOSTES notes that the following are NOT grounds for appeal under the Illness/Misadventure process:
x attendance at a sporting or cultural event, or family holiday x alleged inadequacies of teaching or long-term matters relating to loss of preparation time,
loss of study time or facilities x disabilities for which the Board has already granted disability provisions, unless an
unforeseen episode occurs during the examination/assessment task.
6
Students should not plan absences during term time, unless there are exceptional circumstances (eg, a medical operation). In general, the taking of holidays will not be considered to be exceptional circumstances. Any requests for special consideration should be discussed with the Principal well before the date in question. If a student has an illness or misadventure that may impact the outcome of a BOSTES HSC Examination, they must complete a BOSTES Illness/Misadventure form, available from the BOSTES website, the BOSTES Residing Officer at the time of the examination, the Principal or the Head Teacher – Secondary Studies. 11. Reasonable Requests for Extension
If a student knows in advance that they are to be absent on the day of completion of an Assessment Task, they must complete a Request for Extension. There are two types:
x School Business – where a student is attending a school-based excursion, sporting event, cultural or performing arts event, or representing the school in some way. Students will see the organising teacher and request a Request For Extension – School Business form. The organising teacher will verify that the student is participating in a school-based event and the student will provide the signed form to their classroom teacher, who will re-schedule the task for that student.
x Non-School Business – where a student is attending an appointment (medical, dental, etc) or a family, religious or cultural event. The student will obtain a Request for Extension – Other form from the Head Teacher – Secondary Studies (E1), and return it with supporting documentation PRIOR to the date of the Assessment Task.
NB: Requests for Extensions may not be granted if the student has not made arrangements and completed the necessary process PRIOR TO TWO FULL SCHOOL DAYS of the scheduled date of the Assessment Task. Samples of these forms are available at the back of this booklet.
