2019 PRELIMINARY HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES

Summary of General Considerations The 2019 Preliminary Higher School Certificate assesses if you are satisfactory in each NESA developed course or NESA Endorsed Course studied. As well as assessing whether you are satisfactory, VET courses assess your competency towards a Level II Certificate. The assessment will be based on tasks set by the school during Terms 1 to 3, 2019. The assessment procedure is devised to: (i) Provide teachers and students with an indication of individual performances. (ii) Give an indication of likely success in the HSC in 2020. (iii) Rank students against one another which will be reported in the yearly exam. Your Preliminary Higher School Certificate will only record those courses in which you satisfy course requirements. You MAY NOT study a course for the 2020 Higher School Certificate if you are not satisfactory in its Preliminary course. The Assessments

1. Assessments will be compiled progressively. They are intended to provide an indication of a student’s

attainments based upon:

(a) a wider range of syllabus outcomes than can be measured by a single exam; and (b) measures and observations obtained throughout the course, rather than from a single exam.

2. Final assessment marks will reflect a variety of components depending upon the requirements of each

course. These assessment components are usually the skills and knowledge which students are expected to acquire. The student’s success in mastering the components is measured by his/her performance in the assessment tasks set. An assessment task may be designed to test a single component or a number of components in combination.

3. The assessment components will not all necessarily have the same importance or weighting. (See the

individual subject schedules).

4. Assessment tasks will have different marking schemes. Course Assessment Schedules Each faculty has prepared an assessment schedule for each of the courses it offers. With the exception of VET courses, these schedules provide the following information: a. the outcomes to be assessed; the components which are to be assessed (knowledge, skills etc); b. the weighting of the components; c. the specific tasks which make up the assessment schedule; d. the times at which the tasks will be administered; and e. the number of tasks for each subject – there are three compulsory assessment tasks for each subject.

Some subjects may include one non-assessable task in the schedule which will be reported on. Details for VET course Assessment schedules are described elsewhere.

5 of 46

Timing of assessment tasks

Subject Assessment Schedules set out the approximate timing for each task; your class teacher will advise you of the precise timing at least two weeks before the task is to be completed, and will, at the same time, inform you of the nature of the task and the topic areas to be assessed. In addition, there will be a “task-free” period of one week before the Preliminary examinations in Term 3.

It is the student’s responsibility to be alert to the notification of tasks. In case of absences from school, students will need to check with their teachers upon their return if they have missed any notifications of upcoming tasks. All tasks, excluding examinations, will be issued on gold paper. Completion of tasks The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) hopes that, through the process of continuing assessment, it will be able to reward sustained effort on the part of senior students and sample a wider (and, therefore, more accurate) range of student attainments. Sound performances in assessment tasks also helps to prepare students for the actual HSC which will modify their school assessment. It should be realised that the assessment program places a responsibility upon students to complete the assessment tasks. At Freshwater Senior Campus, the following policies towards missed tasks have been determined.

1. Students who complete all aspects of the assessment task and submit it on or before the due date are

eligible for the full mark allocated for the task.

2. Students who attend an assessment task which is to be completed at school are eligible for the full mark allocated for the task.

3. Students who fail to submit an assessment task by the due date must be given zero if they have no valid

reason.

4. Students who fail to attend an assessment task which is to be completed at school must be given zero if they have no valid reason.

5. Students who fail to submit an assessment task by the due date, but who have a valid reason (such as

sickness or approved leave validated by appropriate documentation) will be allocated an extension of time. These students are eligible for the full mark allocated to the task if they complete the task by the new date. Please note: You must submit the task on the day you return to school.

6. Students who fail to attend an assessment task which is to be completed at school, but who have a valid

reason (e.g. sickness) must be given an opportunity to do the task or an equivalent task at a later date. In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary to give a mark based on the student’s other assessment tasks. These students are eligible for the full mark allocated to the task.

7. Students who submit an incomplete task on or before the due date are to be allocated a mark. This mark

is to be based on the proportion of the task completed. The task does not automatically receive a zero mark. As an example, if the task had six equally weighted components and a student attempted only three of these, that student would be eligible for up to 50% of the mark allocated to the task.

8. If you believe factors beyond your control, e.g. sickness, family misfortune, have affected your ability to

do your best on a task, you may apply for an extension by seeing the appropriate Head Teacher at least 24 hours before the due date. NO EXTENSION WILL BE GRANTED TO APPLICATIONS RECEIVED ON THE DAY A TASK IS DUE.

6 of 46

9. If a student submits a task which is deemed to be a non-serious attempt, then a zero mark will be awarded. 10. During examination sessions, mobile phones or electronic devices are not permitted and only NESA

approved equipment, such as calculators, should be used. 11. Hard copy (not computer files) of written task responses are to be submitted unless the task stipulates

otherwise.

Where a student is going to be absent, the student or parent/guardian should contact the Head Teacher or class teacher before the task takes place. If unexpectedly absent on the day of the task the student should phone the school and inform the Deputy Principal, or the Head Teacher of the subject. Work Placement is not a valid reason to submit work late. All students on Work Placement must make arrangements to submit the work by the due date.

Students who are absent from examinations, classroom tasks, field studies, the day a task is due to hand in to the classroom teacher, etc MUST submit a written explanation for the absence by filling in an Illness/Misadventure form obtained from the Office, supported with a doctor’s certificate, for the consideration of the Head Teacher or to the Deputy Principal if the Head Teacher is not available. This explanation must be handed in on the MORNING of the student’s return to school, otherwise a zero mark will be recorded for the task. If the Head Teacher decides that the student should do the original or a substitute task, the student can be required to sit for the task IMMEDIATELY.

Assessment tasks must be handed to the class teacher by 3.05pm on the due date, unless the teacher has specified a different time on the assessment task notification sheet.

Completed Assessment tasks will not be accepted on the date due, if the student has been absent from school or missed periods on the due date without a valid reason. This is because it is unfair for a student to truant a class or come late to a class in order to complete a task due that day. This also applies to in-class tests. A student may not miss classes on a day he/she has an examination task without appropriate documentation.

Appeals Where students are dissatisfied with any aspect of the assessment procedure, they should, in the first instance approach the Head Teacher of the subject concerned. If the problem cannot be resolved at the faculty level, it may be referred to the co-ordinating Deputy Principal, who will, if necessary, convene a committee (another Head Teacher and the Year Adviser) to consider the particular case. Queries about the marks awarded for a task CAN ONLY be considered if made when the task is handed back to the class.

7 of 46

Legitimate absences We wish to assure students and parents/guardians that students who are absent because of genuine ill-health or misadventure will not be disadvantaged by the procedures indicated on Page 6. Each case will be treated on its merits. The policies outlined are designed to prevent any student gaining an unfair advantage over others by late submission of work; they are not intended to penalize cases of genuine difficulty. Illness may be acceptable on occasions as a reason for late completion of an assessment task; however, it cannot be used as the reason for non-completion of tasks.

Unsatisfactory assessment record NESA regulations state that a student who fails to complete assessment tasks which contribute more than 50% of the available marks in any course will be deemed unsatisfactory in that course, even if the final examination is attempted. While a task submitted after the due date may not score its full value in marks, it may be essential that the student submits the task in order to avoid falling below the level required by this regulation.

Malpractice Students who cheat in any way, including plagiarism, copy another student’s task, make a non-serious attempt, or truant for an assessment task will score ZERO for the task. In addition, the task will be recorded as a non-attempt in terms of the requirement that student’s complete tasks which must total more than 50% of available marks.

Advice to Students and Parents Students and parents/guardians are advised to consult the co-ordinating Deputy Principal, Year Adviser, or Head Teacher of the subject concerned if they are in doubt about any aspect of the assessment procedures. It is particularly important that parents or students contact the school immediately in cases of sickness, misadventure or hardship leading to non-completion or late completion of an assessment task. Extensions will only be granted if a legitimate written application for an extension of time is submitted by the student, (with parent's signature) at least 3 days prior to the due date of the assessment task. This is to be done on an Illness/Misadventure form obtained from the front office. Malfunction of computers or printers is not an acceptable reason for consideration when tasks are not completed satisfactorily by due date. If the task is not handed in on the due date due to computer/printer issues, a ZERO mark may be recorded. Presentation of School Assessment & Review Process Students will be able to request a review of their assessment ranking if they consider that their position in the order of merit is not consistent with their expectations. Such reviews will not involve a reconsideration of a teacher’s judgement of the worth of an individual assessment task such as a test, assignment or project, but may involve checking that the correct addition and/or scaling procedures have been followed. Once the students have received their rankings any requests for review should be made to the Principal with reasons clearly stated. If an appeal is made, the School will inform the student of the outcome of the review of their assessment and advise them of the provision for a subsequent appeal to the NESA.

VET ASSESSMENT POLICY

Vocational Education Training (VET) Courses are dual accredited courses. Students have the opportunity to be awarded with:

Units towards Preliminary and HSC qualification

Competencies which can lead to a Statement of Attainment, Certificate 1, 2 or 3 which are awarded under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Students will be assessed in both areas during each VET Course. 1. AQF Assessment All Industry Curriculum Framework Courses are assessed under national Competency standards that have been determined by industry for inclusion in the framework training packages. Competency based assessment means that students work to develop the competencies, skills and knowledge described in each Unit of Competency to be assessed as competent. A student must demonstrate to a qualified assessor that they can effectively carry out various tasks and combinations of tasks listed, to the standard required in the appropriate industry. There is no mark awarded in competency based assessment. Students are assessed as either competent or not yet competent. Demonstrating competence means that you can perform the task or show an understanding to the level required by the industry standards. The units of competency achieved will be recognised on a vocational qualification. Students will be involved in a variety of assessment tasks ranging from practical tasks to written tasks. If students are deemed not competent at that time, they will be given at least one further opportunity at an agreed time to be re-assessed. There are a number of competencies that may only be offered once during the course due to their:

WHS requirement

Cost

Time frame

Supervision required

Resource availability Specific information about these competencies will be issued to students at the beginning of the course. 2. Higher School Certificate (HSC) Students will be awarded units towards their Preliminary and HSC by studying a VET Course. Some VET courses, e.g. Curriculum Framework Courses will allow students to include a mark from the written HSC examination which can be used in the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). As with all HSC courses, NESA procedures apply to all VET courses. This booklet explains the NESA procedures. VET courses will be listed on the HSC Certificate Record of Achievement. No mark will be listed for the achievement of competency. AQF qualification will be assessed by NESA separately. For students who have undertaken the HSC examination, a scaled examination mark will be recorded on the HSC Certificate. No school based assessment mark will be recorded.

9 of 46

No Assessment mark for VET courses is required by the NESA. An estimated examination mark for students entered for the HSC written examination must be submitted. This mark will be used only in the case of an illness/disadvantage appeal. The estimate mark will reflect each student’s achievement on one or more written tasks, similar in nature to the HSC examination. A trial HSC examination mark would be a suitable task. 3. Workplacement Workplacement is a mandatory HSC requirement of curriculum framework VET courses. Appropriate hours are as follows:

120 hour course - a minimum of 35 hours in a workplace

240 hour course - a minimum of 70 hours in a workplace Failure to comply with HSC mandatory workplace hours will mean that students have not fulfilled the NESA course requirements. Learning in the workplace will enable students to:

progress towards the achievement of industry competencies

develop appropriate attitude towards work

learn a range of behaviours appropriate to the industry

practise skills acquired off the job in a classroom or workshop

develop additional skills and knowledge, including key competencies 4. Assessment Schedule Information regarding mandatory assessment tasks will be set out in an assessment schedule. These tasks will be used as evidence of competency. Refer to individual pages in this booklet for details for various courses. 5. Appeals Procedure Normal school assessment appeals procedures will apply for VET courses. These procedures are explained on page 6 in the booklet.

Note:

Entertainment Industry course – it is permissible for up to 50% of work placement to be undertaken in other entertainment production environments intended for public performance, including school productions. Evidence must be documented and authorised by school.
