Introduction This handbook is designed to provide a summary of the Higher School Certificate assessment procedures which are followed by students studying courses at Warren Central School.

How Your HSC WorksThe Board of Studies provides a large amount on information related to studying for your HSC and the requirements you must meet as a student to achieve the award of the HSC. The link below will take you a new section that details aspects related to internal assessment carried out during your course and expectations for practical and written HSC exams.

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/yourhsc/

There are other online resources that detail important information related to your HSC. These are - Advice to students, parents and teachers – HSC Assessments and Submitted Works, and

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/manuals/#advice - NSW HSC On-Line http://hsc.csu.edu.au/

These sites provides parents and students with up to date information on the expectations of assessment and also provide rich resources for students to access to gauge their progress and see benchmark HSC assessments and responses in their chosen subjects.

HSC Assessment: A Standards-Referenced ApproachIn the context of the Higher School Certificate a major requirement of the internal assessment program is to provide a summative measure of a student's achievement in each course based on:

- a wider range of syllabus outcomes than may be measured by external examination alone - multiple measures and observations made throughout the HSC course rather than a single assessment event.

It is a requirement of the HSC school assessment program that for each course they teach, schools must establish a program of assessment tasks. These tasks are conducted throughout Year11 and 12 and each has a weighting determined by the school within guidelines provided by the Board of Studies. School-based assessment tasks are linked to standards because the tasks focus on outcomes, they are valid instruments for what they are designed to assess, and where appropriate, the marking guidelines are related to the wording of the outcomes and the performance standards.

Each task enables teachers to collect information about the students' achievement in relation to several outcomes, to award marks in accordance with marking guidelines, and to provide constructive feedback to students on their performances highlighting their strengths and where they could make improvements. The marks awarded for each task should be commensurate with the quality of the response.

Assessment Procedures and Assessment Schedules1. Assessment for all Preliminary Courses will commence in Term I, 2016. The Preliminary Course assessment

tasks do NOT count towards the award of Higher School Certificate but are used to ensure that students have experience with assessment tasks and complete the requirements for Preliminary Courses. They DO have an effect on the determination on whether or not a Preliminary Course has been satisfactorily completed.

2. Assessment for Higher School Certificate courses will commence in Term IV, 2016. The last assessment task for most subjects is the Trial Higher School Certificate during Term III, 2017. The only exceptions will be major works in subjects such as Industrial Technology and Visual Arts.

While every attempt has been made to make the scheduling and nature of tasks as detailed as possible, students should note that the teaching program in each of the courses may require minor changes to aspects of some of the set assessment tasks. This will be done in consultation with the Head Teachers and the Principal.

Students will be notified, in writing, of any alterations to the scheduling or nature of assessment tasks, or of any other changes to assessment procedures of policy with the agreement of the Principal.When students receive an Assessment Task Notification it must be signed and dated by each student. Students must read all information provided and seek clarification of any issues before they sign the Notification Form.

Assessment Task NotificationStudents will be informed, in writing, of the set dates, requirements and marking criteria of each assessment task, at least two weeks prior to the task being due.

Where the assessment tasks involve substantial out of school preparation, no more than two tasks will be set for completion on any one day.

When a student returns to school from any absence, it is the student's responsibility to enquire about any work set during the absence. If this set work includes assessment task information, the student must approach the teacher concerned, to ensure that the correct information is received, and to discuss any necessary re-arrangements to the scheduling of each task with the teacher. Extensions can only be granted by the Principal and are not provided for unauthorised leave from school.

Honesty in HSC Assessment –the StandardThis standard sets out the Board of Studies NSW requirements concerning students submitting their own work in HSC assessment. Candidates for the Higher School Certificate, as well as their teachers and others, who may guide them, are required to comply with the standard.

The honesty of students in completing assessment tasks, examinations and submitted works, and of teachers and others in guiding students, underpins the integrity of the Higher School Certificate. Throughout the assessment process, the highest level of honesty is required.

Each student’s mark will be determined by the quality of the work produced by the student only. To demonstrate honesty, any component of a student’s work that has been written, created or developed by others must be acknowledged in accordance with the Board’s subject specific documentation. Use or inclusion of material from other sources such as books, journals and electronic sources, including the internet, must be acknowledged. General teaching and learning do not require formal acknowledgement.

Dishonest behaviour carried out for the purpose of gaining unfair advantage in the assessment process constitutes malpractice, or cheating. Malpractice in any form, including plagiarism, is unacceptable. The Board of Studies NSW treats allegations of malpractice very seriously and detected malpractice will limit a student’s marks and jeopardise their HSC. Should malpractice be suspected, students will be required to demonstrate that all unacknowledged work is entirely their own. Serious and deliberate acts of malpractice amount to corrupt conduct and, where appropriate, the Board of Studies NSW will report matters to the Independent Commission Against Corruption. These requirements should be read in conjunction with Board syllabuses and policies in related areas such as malpractice and satisfactory completion of a course. They include:

Rules and Procedures for Higher School Certificate Candidates Assessment Certification and Examination Manual HSC Assessments and Submitted Works-Advice to Students HSC Assessments and Submitted Works-Advice to Parents HSC Assessments and Submitted Works-Advice to Teachers HSC: All My Own Work HSC assessment in a standards-referenced framework - A Guide to Best Practice.

Higher School Certificate assessment tasks such as independent research projects and major works are likely to be the most challenging learning you will undertake during your time at school. HSC - All My Own Work is a short guide to help you complete your assessment tasks honestly and with confidence.

The HSC: All My Own Work program is designed to help Higher School Certificate students to follow the principles and practices of good scholarship. This includes understanding and valuing ethical practices when locating and using information as part of their HSC studies.

Scholarship Principles and Practices Acknowledging Sources Plagiarism Copyright Working with others

Students discovered to have cheated in any way in the carrying out of their assessments will be reported to the Review Committee. If a student is caught cheating a mark of zero will be awarded, unless in exceptional circumstances, the Review Committee decides otherwise.

Any non-serious attempts at an assessment task will be dealt with in the same way as cheating. Non-serious attempts include cases where the student’s material contains frivolous or objectionable matter, obscene language and/or derogatory remarks. It also includes attempts so poor as to be considered non-serious.

Submission of Assessment TasksEach assessment schedule shows the week that the completed assessment is due to the teacher.

It is the responsibility of the student to make sure that any work completed for the task reaches the relevant teacher by the final date. Students are encouraged to have frequent contact with their teacher throughout the assessment time.

Extensions are only granted in extreme circumstances, by written application to the Principal. Illness during an out-of-class assessment, that is not fully verified, does not qualify for any extension. Acceptable verification includes original Doctor’s Certificates or in the event a doctor is not available, then a hospital attendance letter would suffice.

Tasks may be submitted in advance of the final date.

Failure to submit an assessment task by the final date will result in a zero mark being recorded, indicating a non-attempt and an “N” warning letter being sent to your parents/caregivers. The assessment task must still be completed to meet the requirements of the course, but no marks will be awarded.

Even if a task has not been fully completed by the final date, the student should hand in any partly completed work for assessment. This will probably earn some marks, and will avoid the task being indicated as a non-attempt. Where a task has not been completed or handed in on the due day, students do still need to complete that task and submit it, so that their progress in the course is not jeopardised. Teachers must be informed of any issues that could cause you to miss a due date for an assessment.

A non-serious attempt at an assessment task will be regarded as a non-attempt and will be awarded a zero mark. A non-serious attempt is noted as being:

No assessment deliverables provided on the due date, An exam assessment not being sat on the required date. (Unless approval is given) Assessment handed in does not meet basic marking criteria.

When students hand in due tasks, they need to be handed to the teacher responsible for that task. If the relevant teacher is unavailable, the task must be handed to the Head Teacher or Principal. Tasks must be submitted by the due date.

If a student is absent from school without proper cause or without appropriate documentation, no extension will be provided.

Steps to be followed in cases of illness and misadventure:

In the case of illness or misadventure the school should be notified by 9.00am of the day of the assessment task (the school phone number is 68474438). A message should be left with the office for the teacher of the subject involved. When the student returns to school an appropriate note should be provided to the Head Teacher. For illness a medical certificate is required and for misadventure an explanatory note from the parent or guardian is required.

When an absence is deemed as acceptable, the task or a substitute task will be authorised by the relevant Head Teacher.

In the event of a prolonged and justified absence, consultation shall take place between the student and the appropriate Head Teacher to determine an acceptable assessment strategy.

Extensions of time may only be granted in exceptional circumstances. If a student wishes to obtain an extension of time, then a request (with appropriate evidence eg a Doctor’s certificate) must be submitted in writing to the Principal before the due date.

In the event that bias has been proven to exist in an assessment once it has been started, then an extension may be provided to all students enrolled in that course.

Time Allocations for Assessment TasksWarren Central School students require a minimum of two weeks official notice prior to an assessment event. In practice, this is not necessarily the amount of time students are required to complete the assignment. With the hectic schedule of senior schooling, the focus should be one of fewer significant assessments that are supported by minor assessments.

The following are suggested working timeframes for some assessment types Formal Examination / tests 2 Weeks (notice only) Project based / Assignments 4 – 6 Weeks Group Work / First Hand Investigations 4 – 8 Weeks Small Practical Projects 6 – 10 Weeks Large Practical Projects 8 – 20 Weeks

When assessments run over schools holiday times, the holidays are included in the time allocation for the assessment. In the case of assessments being due in the first two weeks of the following term, they must be notified no later than one week before the school holiday scheduled start date. This allows for students to discuss and clarify assessment requirements with their teachers.

Feedback to StudentsAfter each task is completed and marked, students will be informed of their mark, grade and position within the group. Feedback provided will be in writing and will provide students with positive aspects of their assessment and areas to be developed further.

During early November of the HSC year, the principal will make available, on request, an Order of Merit sheet showing the students’ rank order within each course based on their school assessment. That rank order is based on their class group. Students will not have access to their final HSC Internal Assessment mark as provided to the Board of Studies.

Appeal ProceduresMarks awarded for each assessment task can only be queried at the time the task is returned to the students. Any student who wishes to appeal against the conditions, administration or marking of a task, must do so at the time of the task, or when the task is returned to that student. The student needs to discuss the concern with the teacher that will then refer the matter to be considered by a review panel formed by the Principal. The student will be informed in writing of the result of their appeal.

The Review Committee Panel consists of:

The Principal Head Teacher of the Faculty concerned. A teacher from another subject department nominated by the Principal.

The Review Committee does have the power to order the remarking of any piece of work or review results in individual tasks. This could result in a lower mark being awarded. If this is the case, the remark will be the final mark awarded to the student.

It is important to understand that the Board of Studies has specifically stated that a teacher's judgement of the worth of individual assessment tasks, as reflected in the mark or grade awarded, will not be subject to review as part of this process.

Students are able to appeal an assessment decision based on a Misadventure. Details for this can be found in Section 11 of the Assessment Certification and Examination Manual.

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/manuals/pdf_doc/ace_manual.pdf

In the event of any appeal, the Board of Studies requires the school to ascertain that:

the weightings specified by the assessment policies of each course conform with the Board's requirements; the procedures used by the school for determining the final assessment mark conform with its stated policy: there are no computational or computer errors in the determination of the assessment mark.

Provided that the school has fulfilled these conditions, no changes will be made to the assessment mark.

The student may make a subsequent appeal to the Board, but only on the grounds that the review made by the school did not comply with the Board's requirements. The Board will not change the school assessment marks but, if some changes are considered necessary, may request the school to conduct a further review using amended procedures.

The review process is to be completed before the end of the school year.

N Warning ProceduresNon-completion of internal assessment tasks: Failure to submit internal assessment tasks If a student fails to complete a task specified in the assessment program and the teacher considers the student has a valid reason (eg illness or endorsed leave), the Principal may decide that, in accordance with the school’s assessment policy, an extension of time may be granted or a mark may be awarded based on a substitute task.

In exceptional circumstances (eg where undertaking a substitute task is not feasible or reasonable, or where the missed task is difficult to duplicate) the Principal should authorise the use of an estimate based on other appropriate evidence. Where there is no valid reason for not completing an assessment task, a zero mark must be recorded for that task.

If a student’s attempt at a particular task scores zero, the question of whether the attempt was a genuine one is a matter for the teacher’s professional judgement.

Requirement for Principals to warn Students If it appears that a student is at risk of not meeting the internal assessment requirements in a course, a warning must be given. The principal must:

(a) advise the student in writing, in time for the problem to be corrected, specifying details of action required by the student and alerting the student to the possible consequences of an ‘N’ determination;

(b) advise the parent or guardian in writing if the student is under 18; (c) request from the student and/or parent a written acknowledgement of the warning; (d) issue at least one follow-up warning letter (if the student is still at risk of not meeting requirements); (e) retain a copy of the warning notice and other relevant documentation.

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/manuals/pdf_doc/ace_manual.pdf

‘N’ determination If a student is to be given an ‘N’ determination because of failure to complete tasks which contribute in excess of 50 percent of the final assessment marks in that course, the principal must: (a) submit the ‘N’ determination via Schools Online; (b) advise the student of the determination, its consequences and the student’s right to a school review and

subsequent appeal to the Board using the form supplied by the Board.

The Principal should calculate an assessment mark incorporating the marks for those tasks submitted and a zero for each task not submitted. This information will be required in the case of an appeal to the Board.

Review of ‘N’ determination The procedures for a school review of an ‘N’ determination will follow those laid down by the Board of Studies reviews of assessments as follows: • A student seeking a review of an ‘N’ determination must apply to the Principal by the date listed in the Higher

School Certificate Events Timetable. • If the school upholds the appeal, the school advises the Office of the Board of Studies by the date stipulated in

the Higher School Certificate Events Timetable. • If the appeal is declined, the student may appeal to the Board. The Board’s review will focus on whether the

school review properly and correctly considered the matters before it. • Appeals must reach the Office of the Board by the date stipulated in the Higher School Certificate Events

Timetable. The Board will advise students and principals of the outcome of any appeal as soon as possible after the Higher School Certificate examinations.

Further AdviceStudents should make use of the expertise of all their teachers in seeking advice about such things as assessments, tertiary entrance requirements and courses of study. In particular, the Head Teachers and Careers Adviser may be of assistance with any problems.
