HSC 2017 Assessment Booklet Page 2 HSC ASSESSMENT MANUAL 2016- 2017 INTRODUCTION This booklet contains information about Assessment for the Higher School Certificate, 2016/2017. Section 1 details the school's Assessment Policy for Board Courses. Students should read this section carefully so that they understand and are fully aware of their rights and responsibilities. Section 2 contains the Assessment details for each course. This includes the course components and weightings as set down by the Board of Studies Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) and the Assessment schedule for each course. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference. Do not hesitate to call the school to discuss any aspect of the School Policy or the individual course assessment programs with the Deputy Principal in Charge, Mrs. Brunt.

SECTION 1

Advice to Students and Parents - HSC Assessments

WHAT IS AN HSC ASSESSMENT? It is a mark (e.g. out of 50 for 1 unit, 100 for 2 units, etc.) which measures the achievements of each candidate relative to the other candidates doing the same course at this school. It will be reported on the Higher School Certificate as a mark out of 100 or out of 50 separate from the examination mark. The total assessment mark will be used at the school to give a ranking (position) in each course. To get an assessment in any course, students must complete assessment tasks worth more than 50% of the total assessment.

HOW ARE HSC ASSESSMENTS CALCULATED? a) Assessment components are set for each course by BOSTES. b) The school conducts a number of assessment tasks to test these components. c) The mark for each task forms part of the total assessment mark. Each task is given a weighting, which shows how much it contributes to the total mark. d) Components, tasks and weightings are different for different courses. Assessment details for each course are given later in this book. e) The school is only permitted to tell students their assessment rank, not their final assessment mark.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING Where a student can demonstrate she has significant learnings which satisfy course requirements, she may apply for recognition of prior learning. This may result in her accelerating or undertaking extension work in a course.

Paid employment in areas related to vocational education courses may be recognised as prior learnings as a result of which, a student may be exempted from some work placement hours or these may be undertaken at her place of employment. Any student who would like to discuss recognition of prior learning should see her class teacher or Mrs Brunt (Deputy Principal).

HSC 2017 Assessment Booklet Page 3 STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES Students are responsible for the assessment tasks in a number of ways. If a student acts irresponsibly she may not receive any marks. IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO: i) be familiar with the assessment policies set out in this book. ii) attend school, be aware of due dates for assessment tasks and complete tasks on time. If absent for any reason, the student must on returning to school, check with her teachers to see if any assessment tasks have been set. Absence is not an acceptable reason for not knowing about a task. iii) be on time to all assessment tasks as she will not be given an extension of time if she is late to any task held in school time. A task will only be accepted late if the Deputy Principal in Charge or the Principal has verified that there is a legitimate reason for being late and is prepared to give her a note to that effect. iv) be present to attempt all in-school assessment tasks. This means being present all day that a task is due or that a task is set as an examination. Absence for part of the day will require acceptable documentation. If the student is present on the day of a task she must sit the task. If she is present on the day a homework task is due, she must submit it. v) hand in any homework assessment task on time and check that the teacher has signed it in. If she does not get a task signed in, she has no evidence that it was submitted. vi) if absent for an assessment test or on the day a task is due, bring a medical certificate or appropriate documentation justifying the student’s absence on her first day back at school. Refer to section on Documentation of Absences. vii) notify her teacher of any assessment problems in advance, if possible. viii) ensure that all work submitted is her own work and that all sources of information are correctly acknowledged ix) check the marking of each task when it is returned to her. x) check her assessment rank when it is given to her from time to time xi) bring ALL required equipment for every assessment task. Borrowing of equipment during an assessment task is NOT permitted.

SCHOOL ASSESSMENT POLICY a) Advance Notice of Assessment Tasks Students will usually be given 2 weeks’ notice of any assessment task particularly for those which require preparation or home study. b) Submission of Assessment Tasks Students must hand in assessment tasks at the beginning of the lesson for the course in which the task is set. Failure to comply will result in its being considered a late submission and a mark of zero will be recorded. Unless otherwise stipulated by the teacher, printed copies of word- processed assignments are required. Work on disk will only be accepted if that is the task requirement. Students must ensure the teacher signs in the task as evidence of submission. c) Submission of HSC Major Projects Students must hand in major projects before 9.00am on the date notified for submission of the project. If an alternate time has been set, they must be in class for all scheduled lessons on the day of submission.

HSC 2017 Assessment Booklet Page 4 d) Absence on Day of a Test or In-School Assessment Task It is the student's responsibility to see the teacher to arrange to complete a task missed, on the first day of returning from an absence. (In most cases, a substitute test or alternative means of assessment will be arranged). The task must be completed on the day of return OR the first available time during examination periods. A medical certificate or other suitable documentary evidence to provide a sound reason for the absence will be essential and must be submitted on day of return to school. (See Form A and the Documentation of Absences) An invalid reason for absence (or failure to see the Deputy Principal in charge of Year 12) will result in a zero mark being awarded for the task. Absence from examinations is only allowed for illness, bereavement or, in some cases representing the school. Going on holidays is not an acceptable reason for absence from an assessment task or examination. If in doubt, ask Deputy Principal in charge of Year 12 well in advance of the examination period. e) Absence on Day a Homework Assessment Task is Due If a student is unable to attend school on the day a task is due, a parent or friend should submit the required task, or it should be submitted on the day prior to completion date. If this is not possible it is the student's responsibility to see the teacher on the first day of returning from an absence in order to submit the task. A medical certificate or other suitable documentary evidence to provide a sound reason for the absence will be essential, (See Form A and the Documentation of Absences) An invalid reason for absence (or failure to see the teacher) will result in a zero mark being awarded for that task. Students going on prearranged work placements must either submit the task prior to work placement OR arrange to have it submitted on the due date. Work placement is not an acceptable reason for requesting an extension of time on a task. f) Documentation of Absences Where a student is absent from a task or unable to submit a task through illness or extenuating circumstances, adequate documentation must be provided on the first day the student returns to school. Absences due to illness must be supported by a valid Doctor’s Certificate. Suitable documentation for other absences could include such things as Death or Funeral Notices or Court lists. Absences to attend employment, medical, dental appointments or driving tests are not acceptable reasons to miss an assessment task. Please ring the Deputy Principal in Charge of Year 12 to notify the school that the student will be absent from the task. On the day of return to school, the student must bring a copy of Form A together with the documentation to the Deputy Principal in Charge of Year 12 who will notify the Head Teacher. The student is strongly advised to keep a copy of the letter and documentation. Doctor’s Certificates which are not attached to a copy of Form A will not be considered nor will certificates not submitted on the day of return to school. The Assessment Committee reserves the right to question the validity of all doctors' certificates submitted by students and may in some circumstances disallow a doctor's certificate as an excuse for absence due to sickness, lateness of tasks, requests for extensions and so forth. In this instance the student will receive a zero mark for the task. g) Attendance Students must maintain a satisfactory pattern of attendance so they can progress and achieve outcomes. BOSTES now puts the onus of proof of meeting course outcomes on the student. Where, in the Principal's judgement, their pattern of attendance suggests that they could not have met course requirements or achieved course outcomes, students will be required to prove to the satisfaction of the Principal that they have met the course outcomes and satisfied course requirements. In circumstances where overall attendance is unsatisfactory, the student will be required to demonstrate why she should be allowed to continue her enrolment at the school. If unsuccessful, no Record of Achievement or Higher School Certificate or Result Notice will be issued.

HSC 2017 Assessment Booklet Page 5 h) Prolonged Absences Prolonged absence during school terms should, if at all possible, be avoided. The Principal has the authority to approve or refuse absences. Prolonged absences cannot be approved and could lead to a student not meeting outcomes. No allowance is made by this school for assessment tasks missed while a student is on holidays. Absences through illness and/or injury may be allowed if in the Principal’s judgement the absence is legitimate. In the case of prolonged or recurring illness or injury, a medical certificate will need to be supplied as evidence. In many instances, school work may be undertaken while at home or in hospital. In this way, the Principal may be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence for determining that a student has met course requirements and achieved the main outcomes of the course. In cases of prolonged absence and where work is not possible during the period of absence, the Principal may judge that catching up is not possible and determine that attendance is unsatisfactory. As far as possible, warning of the consequences of such a prolonged absence will be given. i) Request for an Extension of Time for Assessment Tasks If there is a valid reason why a student is unable to hand in an assignment on time, prior arrangements (e.g. application for extension of time) must be made with the Deputy Principal in Charge at least one week before the task is due (See Form B). Where valid reason is given the parent and student will be notified of the new date for the task. Where insufficient time or invalid reason is given, the parent and student will be notified and the task will have to be completed by the original specified date. If the task is not handed in on the due date a zero mark will be awarded for that task. In general, an extension will not be given for tasks which had many weeks’ preparation and research time. j) Marking of Assessment Tasks It is the student's responsibility to check the marking of any assessment task when it is returned. The marks for any task will be taken as final seven days after the task is returned, so a student must indicate any error in marking before this. A complaint about marking is not grounds for a later appeal against an assessment rank. k) Unsubmitted/Incomplete Assessment Items Students studying an HSC course must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks which contribute in excess of 50 percent of the available marks. If a student's attempt at a particular task scores zero, it is a matter for the teacher's professional judgement whether the attempt is a genuine one. It is emphasised that completion of tasks worth exactly 50 percent is not sufficient. Tasks worth in excess of 50 per cent must be genuinely attempted. If this is not the case the Principal will be required to inform BOSTES and the course concerned may not appear on the HSC Result Notice or Certificate. Where a student is registered as having failed to complete one or more assessment tasks, parents/carers will be notified by a warning notice. N.B. Task components such as orals and practical work are compulsory in some courses. Non-completion of a compulsory task may result in non-completion of the course and an N award. l) Computer Failure Computer or printer failure or malfunction cannot be taken as an acceptable reason for failure to submit an assessment task on time. It is the student’s responsibility to save the work regularly and back it up to both hard drive and disk and print work regularly. If a failure occurs, the student must submit her last printed hard copy as evidence of work completed. If the assignment required it to be submitted on disk, the last saved copy is to be submitted.

HSC 2017 Assessment Booklet Page 6 m) Invalid tasks/non discriminating tasks Should a task not discriminate or be declared invalid due to administrative or other difficulties then an additional task may be scheduled. Students will be advised of the time of the new task but two weeks’ notice is not required as students will already have done their preparation. The weight of the invalid/non discriminating task will be reduced accordingly to allow for the additional task. In extreme cases, some invalid tasks will need to be discarded. This will be done at the Principal’s discretion after consultation with the appropriate Head Teacher/Teacher and Deputy Principal. If a situation arises where a student (s) has seen an examination paper or question prior to the task being sat, the task will be declared invalid and the task will be re-set and re-sat at the first feasible opportunity. Two weeks’ notice will not be given for the replacement task. n) Malpractice

Malpractice is any attempt to gain an unfair advantage over other students.

 All assessment tasks must be the student’s own original work. Any task or examination submitted must be the original work of the student submitting the task. Any student found cheating in a task or examination will receive a mark of zero. No two students can submit identical tasks as each must submit her original interpretation of the task, even where a component of the task involved group work. Failure to comply with this will lead to the award of a zero mark. Where doubt exists, the student(s) concerned may be set a task to verify their knowledge, skills and/or understandings assessed in the task. Notice need not be given as the student will have already prepared for the original task.

 The Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) has decided to implement a Register of Malpractice in HSC Assessment Tasks. Implementation will begin in Term 4 with the 2016 HSC cohort. Any proven incidences of malpractice in school based assessment tasks and examinations will be recorded in this register. What types of proven malpractice will be recorded? Types of malpractice in HSC assessment tasks may include, but are not limited to: • Being in possession of unauthorised notes or electronic devices during a test or examination • Using the words, ideas, designs or workmanship of others without acknowledgement • Copying from another student • Paying someone to write or prepare an assessment task.

 Is the late submission of a task or a non-serious attempt considered malpractice? Late submission of assessment tasks may be malpractice where it is proven to be a deliberate mechanism to gain advantage over other students. Students may submit overdue assessment work for a variety of other reasons not considered malpractice, such as illness or misadventure. Submitted work may be classified as a non-serious attempt where it is frivolous or offensive. Where the school applies a penalty for a frivolous or offensive response, the issue will be recorded on the Malpractice Register.  Tasks must be completed by the student in the current assessment period in that course. A student may not hand in a task or part of a task completed for another assignment in this or previous years or work substantially prepared for another course. Students found to have committed this form of malpractice will be awarded a zero mark. In situations where it is established that the student has copied from another student or misrepresented work copied from a source or committed any other type of malpractice then a zero mark will be given for the task. The Head Teacher in

HSC 2017 Assessment Booklet Page 7 consultation with the Class Teacher will establish that malpractice has occurred. Parents will be advised in writing. If a student can produce conclusive evidence that malpractice could not have occurred, a written appeal may be lodged, with the Deputy Principal in charge, within 7 days. An interview with the student will follow and a final decision will be made. If malpractice has occurred, no substitute task will be given. o) Plagiarism Plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft. It is the taking of another person’s intellectual property, their ideas, writing, music etc. and using them without acknowledging where they came from. To avoid plagiarism students must ensure that they read and summarise work from reference material and then write it entirely in their own words. They must also correctly reference all sources of information, including websites visited, when submitting their work. Copying sentences from other sources and changing a few words or sentences is still classified as plagiarism. Plagiarism for all or part of a task will result in a mark of zero for the whole task. The task will need to be redone to meet course outcomes but the mark will not be changed. As all students must complete the “All My Own Work” program from BOSTES prior to the beginning of Year 11, NO allowance will be made for students claiming not to have realised that they have been involved in plagiarism if deemed by the school to have plagiarised work. p) Mobile Phones and Data Storage Devices No student may take a mobile phone or any item capable of storing information into an examination or assessment task. Having one in the room will automatically be taken as malpractice and a mark of zero awarded. Phones which must be brought to school may be left at the Office, or at the front of the examination room or gym during large examinations, with name attached. q) Notification of Assessment Rank The school will periodically inform students of their current assessment rank. Students will receive their final assessment ranking on their Year 12 Yearly Report. r) Appeals, Complaints and Grievances Any complaint about any issue should be made in the first place to the Class Teacher. Further appeals may be made to the Head Teacher of the appropriate faculty, and then to the Deputy Principal in Charge. Students have a right to appeal if they do not believe the granting of competencies, work placement issues or assessments have been carried out fairly and equitably. Appeals cannot be made directly to the Deputy Principal in charge without having discussed the issue with to the Class Teacher and/or Head Teacher first. Appeals are made regarding process but cannot be made about a mark/result. s) Review of Final Assessment Rank If the position assigned by the school and indicated by the final assessment rank differs significantly from a student's perception of what her rank should be, the student may seek an assessment review in that course. A request for an assessment review must be lodged with the Principal within four working days of receiving notification of the ranking. The school will complete their review and notify the student of the outcome. In conducting the review of Assessments, schools do not review the marking of individual tasks. The school must establish whether: * the weightings used are those specified by BOSTES in the course guides * the marks awarded are consistent with the school's Assessment policy * any computational or clerical errors occurred. When completed, schools are required to provide the Board with a schedule of reviews indicating the outcome. A student who is dissatisfied with the school's review procedures may appeal to BOSTES to pursue the appeal. Students must notify the Principal and must have the

HSC 2017 Assessment Booklet Page 8 documentation sent into BOSTES. Spare copies of the Forms are available from the Deputy Principal in charge.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) COURSES Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are offered as part of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or Record of School Achievement (RoSA). VET courses are designed to deliver workplace- specific skills and knowledge and cover a wide range of careers and industries. VET courses for secondary students are developed by the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) and are based on national training packages. VET courses allow students to gain both HSC or RoSA qualifications and a qualification recognised throughout Australian as part of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). These qualifications are widely recognised by industry, employers and tertiary training providers e.g. TAFENSW and Universities and will assist students to move easily between various education and training sectors and employment. Public Schools NSW, Ultimo is accredited as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to deliver and assess VET qualifications to secondary students. Board Developed VET courses are classified as Category B subjects and ONLY ONE may contribute to the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). These courses have an optional HSC examination. Students wishing to include a VET course in the ATAR calculation must sit the HSC examination. Board Developed VET courses have specified workplace requirement and include industry specific mandatory work placement (70 hours) or occasionally simulated workplace hours at school. Board Endorsed VET Courses do count towards the HSC or RoSA but do not have HSC examinations therefore can’t count in the calculations of the ATAR. Board Endorsed VET Courses have either mandatory or recommended industry specific work placement. Assessment in all VET courses is competency based. The student is assessed on what they can do (the skills) and what they know (the knowledge) that will equip them in the workplace. Students who have successfully achieved competency will have the skills and knowledge they need to complete workplace activities in a range of different situations and environments, to an industry standard of performance that is expected in the workplace. Competency-based assessment materials are designed to ensure that each learner has achieved all the outcomes (skills and knowledge). Competency-based training is based on performance standards that have been set by industry. Students will receive documentation showing the competencies achieved for the VET course undertaken.
