ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING IN THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

Standard-Referenced Approach

The Higher School Certificate will use a standards-referenced approach to assessment and reporting. In a standards-referenced approach, the achievements of a student are assessed and reported against specified standards of performance that are established for each course. Once established these standards remain constant. Students will benefit from the introduction of a standards-referenced approach to the HSC as: the marks students gain in a subject will be aligned with descriptions of what they

know, understand and can do, marks will reflect the standards actually achieved by students rather than just

indicating a position in a predetermined distribution, there will be more meaningful and detailed reports with clear descriptions of the

different standards of performance, students who meet or exceed the minimum standard of performance expected

will receive a mark of 50 or more in a 2 unit course. Standards-Referenced Approach and Internal Assessment

The HSC will continue to have both internal and external assessment for Board Developed Courses. At the end of the HSC course, schools will provide the Board with a mark only. This mark will be calculated in accordance with the Board's requirements. Schools will not be required to submit descriptions of student performance or indicate a performance band. The marks submitted will reflect the rank order and relative differences between student achievements. With the change to a standards-referenced approach, it is the differing achievement of the standards that provides the comparisons between students. Internal and External Mark - HSC The internal assessment and the external examination will carry an equal weighting in the determination of the student's HSC performance in the course.

The internal assessment marks and the marks on the external examination will be treated as follows: the course assessment marks submitted by the school will be moderated by the

examination performance of the school group, the moderated assessment and the examination mark will be averaged to provide

a composite mark, experienced markers will follow a structured procedure employing professional

judgment to determine what composite marks will correspond to the borderline

- 1-

Internal and External Mark - HSC (Continued) each student's moderated assessment mark and examination mark are then

separately aligned to the performance scale, the average of a student's assessment mark and examination mark, after

alignment to the performance scale, is then reported as the student's HSC mark.

Reporting the HSC

Student achievement in a course will be reported on a performance scale consisting of: a scale of marks from 0-100 accompanied by 6 bands or levels of achievement, specific descriptions of typical student performance in each of the different

bands. The scales report the performance standards for each course by describing: the range of achievement of the outcomes, typical performance demonstrated by students in each band, the difference in performance from band to band. a minimum standard expected.

- 2 -

between each performance band. This step provides a set of 'mapping points' that enable student marks to be aligned with the performance scale,

ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW

Assessment (internal and external assessment)

Internal Assessment (school based)

Students undertake HSC assessment tasks that are set by the school based on : syllabus outcomes and content assessment components and weightings.

Internal marking

Processing and recording marks

Assessment Mark

Moderation by Board of Studies - statistical procedures of aligning internal assessment marks so that students' results across the state can be compared accurately and fairly.

Moderated assessment mark

External assessment (statewide examination)

Students present for external examinations that are set by the Board and based on syllabus outcomes and content. External assessment includes: * written examinations * projects * major works * performances

External Marking - standards-referenced marking guidelines are used to mark student responses.

Processing and recording marks

Examination Mark

Both marks are aligned to the performance scale and their average is reported as the HSC mark.

ASSESSMENT FOR PRELIMINARY HSC

The assessment submitted for a particular course will be a measure of student achievement relative to the other students by the end of the course in Year 11. The assessment will be based on achievements measured during the course.

The assessment program for each course will involve a number of tasks including both formal test situations and less formal, but nonetheless, systematic observation of student performance. e.g. * Written, practical and/or aural/oral tests. * Class and/or home assignments, including essays and practical tasks. * Projects. * Oral presentation. * Observations of the participation in individual and group activites relating to the courses, including class discussions and fieldwork.

In each course a mark will be determined for each student. This mark is derived by combining weighted marks for various components, e.g. 25% practical, 50% writing, 10% speaking, 15% assignments. The weights for each course are determined by the Board and are mandatory. They cannot be altered. However, the weights for any possible sub-components in a course are determined by the school. In the example above, 50% of total assessed mark derives from writing, but the writing tasks will not necessarily have equal value.

Not every task given to students will be used in the assessment scheme for the course. Students will receive a schedule for assessment tasks for all subjects. All other tasks are required to be completed as part of the normal course requirements. If a student is absent from school, he/she should check with his/her teachers what work has been missed and if any assessment information has been given out. No student is to complete more than three (3) assessment tasks in any one week. Work set for submission at a later date will not be regarded as an assessment task in the week it is submitted. Students must receive no less than fourteen (14) days notice of the day (date) and period for which the task is scheduled for completion. This must include a detailed handout which informs each student of:

Date of issue. Date for submission. Weightings involved in the task. Outcomes to be assessed as stated in the syllabus. Assessment criteria to be used for the task. The task description. Students are expected to work steadily towards future submission dates. No assessment tasks will be scheduled for the two weeks prior to the Semester 1 examination and the Final Preliminary HSC examinations. However students working on practical projects or activities which are assessment tasks can be required to work on these or submit the task during the two week period prior to the exams. Any changes to this schedule due to exceptional circumstances must be negotiated with the students involved and ratified by the Principal.

- 4 -

It is permissable for a Head Teacher to vary the outcomes previously assigned to a task only under exceptional circumstances. Students must be informed within fourteen (14) days of the submission of the task. Where an internal assessment task is labelled an exam task, all students must receive, within fourteen (14) days prior to the commencement of the exam period, printed notification of: Weightings involved in each question. Outcomes to be assessed in each question. General assessment criteria to be used for each question. Features which are part of a test answer. Where a subject appears on two (2) separate curriculum lines, and assessment tasks are scheduled at different times, all students in both classes must be given an assessment timeline clearly outlining this. The timeline is to be distributed to both classes within a three (3) school day time frame. The time allocated for the completion of assessment tasks must be equitable. Classes on more than one curriculum line may be given different tasks to complete at different times, however, the outcomes, weightings and time for completion must be the same. Furthermore the genre selected for the task must be the same, however, the question may be different but equitable. Provisions for Illness and Misadventure

No compensation will be made for factors such as extended illness, misadventure or domestic problems affecting the preparation or performance of a student throughout the course. However, where the result of an assessment task was affected for a valid reason by absence or other misadventure preventing presentation of part or all of the task for assessment, the school may use a mark based on a substitute task or, in exceptional circumstances, an estimate based on other evidence. Invalid reasons for absence should result in a mark of zero for that task. Misadventure and submission of assessment task If a student requests consideration for misadventure, it is the responsibility of the class teacher to collect all relevant documentation associated with the task(s) and forward it to the Head Teacher for decision.

Right of Appeal After each assessment task and after the last HSC examination, students will be informed of their mark and order of merit (rank - not a mark) respectively in the assessment within each course. Students can appeal, i.e. request a review of their assessment mark and/or ranking if they feel that their mark and/or rank is not consistent with their expectations on the basis of their performance on assessment tasks. If a student requests a review of either or both of the above, it is the responsibility of the class teacher to collect all relevant documentation associated with the task(s) and forward it to the Head Teacher for decision.

- 5 -

Right of Appeal (Cont'd) If the request remains unresolved the Head Teacher submits all documentation to the Principal or their delegated officer for decision.

In reviewing the procedures for determining assessments, the school must have: conformed to the weightings detailed in the Subject Guides, conformed with the procedures in the stated School Assessment Program, made no computational or clerical errors.

If the school has fulfilled the above three conditions, no change to the assessment will be made. If the review made by the school does not comply with the Board's requirements, the student may appeal to the Board. The review process must be completed before the end of the school year. Non-Completion of Assessment Tasks In order to have studied a Preliminary HSC course satisfactorily, the school expects each candidate to have completed all assessment tasks.

The satisfactory completion of a course requires Principals to have sufficient evidence that the student has: followed the course developed or endorsed by the Board, applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences

provided in the course by the school, achieved some or all of the course outcomes. Tasks which are incomplete or not submitted on time will be awarded a zero mark unless the student's explanation is accepted by the Principal as valid. A doctor's certificate may be requested by the Principal in cases of illness. The student may be required to attempt an alternate task or, in exceptional circumstances, may be assessed on the basis of other evidence. It is the student's responsibility to approach the teacher to make arrangements to undertake the task as soon as possible.

Students must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks which contribute in excess of 50% of available marks. Completion of tasks worth exactly 50% is not sufficient; tasks worth in excess of 50% must be completed.

In the case of competency-based courses, it is a matter for the Principal to determine whether the attempts made by the student to complete the course are genuine.

Where students are studying for a course which includes an examination, students must sit for and make a genuine attempt at such examinations.

Whilst the Board of Studies does not determine attendance requirements, Principals may determine that, as a result of absence, the course completion criteria, as detailed above have not been met. All such warnings must relate the absences to specific unsatisfactory completion of course requirements

Parents will be advised in writing when a zero mark is awarded. If a student fails to complete assessment tasks worth 20% of the total mark for any subject the parents will be invited to discuss the matter with the school. A similar discussion would be scheduled if 40% of the total mark was not reached.

- 6 -

Non-Completion of Assessment Tasks (Continued) When zero marks for non-attempts are awarded for 50% worth of the total assessment mark, the Principal cannot certify that the course has been satisfactorily studied. If a student fails to satisfactorily complete a Preliminary HSC course in spite of receiving three written warnings outlining specific areas of concern, then an 'N' determination will be given. This determination will mean that the student will not receive a result in this course and it may affect their eligibility to progress to the HSC in that subject. Malpractice During Assessment Tasks and Non-Serious Attempts

Students are subject to normal school rules during assessment tasks. During assessment tasks being completed at school, students are not permitted to: smoke, eat, or drink. Exceptions in the case of food and drink will only be made on

medical grounds. speak to any person other than the supervisor, behave in any way likely to disturb the work of any other student or upset the

conduct of the assessment task attend a task whilst under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, use any notes, books or aids not specified as allowable by the supervisor, remove from a room in which a task has been held all or any part of an answer (any

answer or part of an answer removed is not to be considered for assessment), cheat in any way, commit any illegal act. Breaches of the aforementioned, in proven cases, will result in the student being awarded a zero mark. All such cases will be reported to parents and the student will be disciplined under existing school procedures. Where an illegality has taken place, the police may be informed. For tasks completed in the students own time, where allegations of dishonesty are made, the Principal will conduct an enquiry. Students not making a serious attempt at an assessment task will also be awarded a zero mark. The parents will be advised in writing and receipt of such correspondence obtained.

- 7 -

Student Responsibilities

Know when assessment tasks are due. If absent when you return check which tasks have been set.

Be present for and hand in all assessment tasks on the due date or provide a valid excuse the next day you attend school as per the rules outlined in the booklet. Failure to do so will see a mark of zero being awarded.

Where possible, notify your teacher of any problems with an assessment task in advance.

Ensure that you hand tasks directly to your teacher, if a task is lost and there is no record of it being handed in a mark of zero will be awarded.

Check the marking of tasks and assessment rankings immediately these are given to you.

Attend all timetabled lessons on the day of assessment tasks otherwise a medical certificate or other suitable explanation will be required, no student should gain an unfair advantage over other students.

Make a serious attempt at every HSC assessment task. If a student presents non- original work or is caught cheating a mark of zero will be awarded. The parents of students found guilty of any malpractice will be notified and further action will be at the discretion of the subject Head Teacher in consultation with the Principal.

Complete 50% of the available marks in a subject otherwise an Unsatisfactory completion will be submitted for that subject.

Students should: - allocate time to prepare for very test and assignment even though they may not count towards their final assessment, - realise that all work done contributes to their skills and knowledge of the course which will help in assessment tasks, - realise that good assessments may indicate to a prospective employer that they are a reliable and/or conscientious student.

Advice

Parents who would like more advice or information on Higher School Certificate assessment are invited to contact the school for an appointment to meet with the most appropriate teacher. Perhaps the Careers Adviser or the Year Adviser or the Head Teacher of a subject may be of assistance. Courses and Details

On pages 11 to 26 you will find assessment details for the courses taken at Bomaderry High School by students in Year 11 (2012). These details do not constitute a comprehensive assessment program, but are rather, the mandatory basis from which each course program is planned. Details of the program of assessment for each course will be given to students as the course progresses.

- 8 -

Vet Courses Vet courses are based on competencies Students will received a number of opportunities throughout their course to achieve competencies. The teacher will indicate to the student if a competency is in jeopardy of not being achieved. Evidence of competence Evidence of competence will be gathered on an on-going basis which may include assessment tasks, projects, assignments, written and practical tests or examinations, role plays and simulations. Failure to complete these may result in not achieving a competency. Planned Assessment All VET students must complete assessment tasks as outlined in the relevant subject and must follow the guidelines detailed in this booklet. HSC Examination Students who opt not to sit the HSC Examination, may still qualify for the relevant Certificate I or II in that course if they achieve competency in all units. All competencies must be completed by the Friday prior to the first HSC examination. Students will receive sufficient notification of competency tests and those competencies not achieved. If all competencies are not achieved, their relevant qualification will not be obtained. Internal Examinations All VET students will be required to sit for Semester 1 and Semester 2 examinations in the Preliminary year and HSC year as well as a Trial HSC Examination. These examinations may contribute to their competency based assessment programs. Competency Record i.e. Log Books Students have access to their Log Books, which will be stored in a secure place in the school. Log Books will be given to students at the end of the course. Work Placement All students must complete 35 hours of work placement to satisfactorily complete a VET course in Year 11 and 35 hours of work placement to satisfactorily complete a VET course in Year 12. Students are required to complete these hours as a 70 hour block (2 weeks) unless changed/altered by prior arrangement with their teacher. Work placement times are published at the beginning of the year in the school calendar and are not negotiable unless in an emergency situation. Work placement must be completed to satisfactorily study the course, allowing the student to enter into their HSC year. Attendance in VET courses Students must stay in a VET course until the end of the school year in Year 11 to complete the required hours. Students not attending class will be dealt with as per the Bomaderry High School Assessment Guidelines. Contact person: Mrs Butfield (VET Coordinator)
