ST IVES HIGH SCHOOL YEAR 11 PRELIMINARY COURSE ASSESSMENT POLICIES

Introduction This booklet outlines the assessment schedules for the cohort of students at SIHS undertaking Preliminary courses in 2018. Dates included for each course are correct at the time of printing, however unforeseen circumstances may result in changes over the year. Students will be notified in advance if a change is required. These schedules indicate, the number of assessment tasks for each course, the nature of the tasks, the weighting of the tasks, the areas of content each task will assess and when the tasks will be conducted. School-based Assessment School-based assessment is the process of identifying, gathering and interpreting information about student achievement. Assessment tasks measure performance in a wider range of course outcomes than can be tested in an external examination. These may include tests, written or oral assignments, practical activities, fieldwork, folios and projects. School-based assessment is also used to:

• assist student learning by providing quality feedback • evaluate and improve teaching and learning programs • provide information on student learning and progress in relation to syllabus outcomes • provide evidence of satisfactory completion of a course • report on the achievement by each student at the end of a course

At the end of each Preliminary course the school will submit a grade to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), for every student in every course.

N-Warning Letters Students who have not worked with sustained effort or sufficient diligence in a course may be issued with an N-Warning letter. This letter will explain what the student must do to meet the requirements of the course and the date by which the required work is to be submitted. Students who receive a second N-Warning letter in a course may receive an N-Determination. Students who receive an N-Warning letter should do the required work commensurate with their ability and submit it by the due date. Parents are invited to contact the school to discuss the issue with the Head Teacher of that course. N-Determination Students who receive TWO or more N-Warning letters may be N-Determined for a course. If this happens the student will be told near the end of Term 3 of their Year 11 year that they will not be given credit for completing that course (or courses). It is recommended that a student with an N-Determination in a course sit the yearly examination in that course especially if the N-Determination decision is being appealed. Review of N-Determination Students will be notified in writing of an N-Determination decision. SIHS will follow the NESA procedures for N-Determinations including the NESA’s appeals process. Appeal forms will be issued to students when notified of an N-Determination. An N-Determination that is not successfully appealed will lead to the student not achieving that course and may result in the student being ineligible for the Preliminary Certificate in that year. This may have implications on the courses of study they can select in Year 12. School Review of Assessments Students are not entitled to seek a review of a teacher’s judgement of the worth of an individual performance in an assessment task. Students, who consider that their final grade for any course is not correct, on the basis of feedback on their performance during the course from their teacher, have a right to appeal and may seek a school review. The School Assessment Appeals Process Students who wish to make an appeal should firstly discuss the concern with the Head Teacher KLA of the subject. If not resolved a written request with details should be given to either the Principal or the Deputy Principal (Year 11) within 3 days of the student becoming aware of the issue. A panel consisting of the Principal, Deputy Principal (Year 11) and KLA Head Teacher will determine the outcome and provide reasons for decisions made. Record of School Achievement (RoSA) Students who complete Year 10 but leave school before starting Year 11 will receive a RoSA with Year 10 Grades recorded. Students who begin Year 11 but leave before grades are completed will receive a RoSA with Year 10 grades plus Year 11 courses listed. Students who complete Year 11 but leave school before completing the HSC will receive a RoSA with Year 10 and Year 11 Grades recorded. Students should request this from the Deputy Principal (Year 11).

ADVICE FOR MAJOR EXAMINATION PERIODS Students are responsible for ensuring they attend all of their scheduled exams and for the following:

• carefully check their exam timetable and the venue of their exams • organise themselves to arrive on time for the start of each exam • have the correct, approved equipment for each exam • wear full school uniform • behave in a manner that does not interfere with the performance of others • remain for the full time allotted for each exam • carry all exam equipment in a clear plastic bag • leave mobile phones out of the exam room and switched to silent if in the proximity of the exam room • leave any electronic or digital device out of the exam room unless approved • refrain from eating in the exam room (unless approved eg for students with diabetes). Water in a clear container

is allowed. If absent from major exams a “SIHS Medical Certificate” and “Explanation of Absence” form should be completed and

given to the Deputy Principal (Year 11). Efforts will be made to reschedule the exams missed within the major exam weeks or an alternative task provided.

Students who cheat in an exam will be given a zero mark and other consequences. Disability (Special) provisions will be provided to eligible students if they have successfully applied to the Learning

and Support Teacher and provided the required evidence. Unsatisfactory Progress and Attendance Poor attendance and unsatisfactory progress are closely linked. When progress is not commensurate with ability N-Warning letters may be issued and/or an Improvement Program may be initiated. Continued unsatisfactory progress or attendance may lead to the student being withdrawn from a course or from the school. SIHS Responsibilities In relation to school-based assessment, SIHS staff will:

• inform students of the assessment requirements for each course • provide students with two weeks’ notice of the nature, weighting and timing of assessment tasks • provide meaningful feedback on students' performance in all assessment tasks • maintain records of marks awarded to each student for all assessment tasks and provide an overall assessment

rank position on school reports for each course • address issues relating to illness, misadventure and malpractice in assessment tasks • address issues relating to late submission and non-completion of assessment tasks • design assessment tasks that provide all students in the course similar conditions to ensure fairness • advise students in writing when they are not meeting sufficient outcomes in a course and indicate what is

necessary to meet the requirements satisfactorily using N-Warning letters • inform students about their entitlements to school reviews and appeals to the NESA • conduct school reviews of assessments when requested by students • notify parents if an assessment task is not completed and penalties are imposed.

NOTE:

I. St Ives High School reserves the right to change the date or conditions of an assessment task if necessary to be fair to all students or because of unforeseen circumstances.

II. The School reserves the right to set a substitute task if for any reason the initial task fails to discriminate or is found to be invalid.

III. If a problem occurs during the performance of an assessment task, the student should complete the task and notify the Deputy Principal (Year 11) who will determine its validity in consultation with the Assessment Review Team.

Student Responsibilities

• Complete “All My Own Work”. This is a mandatory online unit delivered by NESA. Students cannot be

entered for Year 11 courses with the NESA until this course is completed.

• Students are expected to be aware of when assessment tasks are scheduled. They are expected to perform all tasks related to their courses scheduled during the school assessment period. Tasks should be completed commensurate with each student’s ability.

• Make a reasonable attempt at more than 50% of assessments in each course: This “greater than 50% of

the assessments” cannot include any estimates. Failure to sit for more than 50% of the assessments will result in the student being withdrawn from the course. This is a NESA rule.

Absence from an assessment task:

Page 5: YEAR 11 PRELIMINARY CERTIFICATE ASSESSMENT POLICY ... · PRELIMINARY CERTIFICATE ASSESSMENT POLICY & SCHEDULE . 2018 . ST IVES HIGH SCHOOL . 2018 Year 11 Assessment Policy & Schedule

2018 Year 11 Assessment Policy & Schedule – Page v

• “At school” Assessment Tasks: If ill, bring a “SIHS Medical Certificate” or other evidence acceptable to the

KLA Head Teacher on the day they return to school. A copy should also be provided to the school office so the necessary documents can be placed on file. The date on the medical certificate indicating when the consultation took place must be the date of the assessment task or an earlier date with coverage given for the day of the assessment. Medical Certificates that show the consultation took place after the date of the assessment may not be accepted. Students absent from an Assessment Task without an acceptable reason will be awarded a zero. Students should approach their class teacher on the day they return to school to make arrangements for the missed task or an alternative task to be completed. Failure to do so will result in a zero mark.

• “At home” Assessment Tasks: Students may be awarded a zero mark for tasks, which have not been

submitted on time, unless there is an illness (Medical Certificate supplied) or exceptional circumstances, as determined by the Principal and/or KLA Head Teacher. Computer failure may not be accepted as exceptional circumstance when work is not handed in on time. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure backups of work are made. Absent students should arrange for the task (completed or incomplete) to be emailed, faxed or delivered to the teacher on the due date. Assessment tasks must be handed in to the class teacher before or during the subject period on the due date unless otherwise stated by the teacher. Tasks submitted after the period may not be accepted. The decision to accept the task after the designated time will be at the discretion of the Assessment Review Team.

• If absent on the day an Assessment Task is due and if unable to deliver the task to the teacher you must

present it at the start of the day of return accompanied by an “Explanation of Absence from an Assessment Task” form and a “SIHS Medical Certificate”, indicating illness on the day the assessment task was held, or other evidence as approved by the Principal and/or KLA Head Teacher.

• Must not seek an unfair advantage and must attend all scheduled lessons on the day tasks are due:

Students are not permitted to be absent from school for any lesson on the day before an assessment task is due and are not permitted to miss lessons prior to an assessment task (on the day of the task). If this occurs for reasons beyond the control of the student a medical certificate or other documentation acceptable to the Principal must be provided. Students may receive a reduced mark or zero for the assessment task if this rule is violated.

• Anticipated Absences: Students must inform their teachers if they have reason to expect that they might be

absent for an assessment task. Such notice should be given as soon as possible. Vacations taken outside normal school holidays will not be accepted as a valid reason for absence from assessment tasks, unless granted written permission from the Principal. In these circumstances, the task/s should be handed in before the due date.

Non-Attempts and Non-Serious Attempts at Tasks A non-attempt is given a zero mark. An attempt considered as non-serious may be regarded as a non-completed task, and a zero mark may be given. This may also result in an N-warning letter.

NOTE: Only in exceptional circumstances (eg: the completion of a substitute task is not feasible, would be unreasonable, or when a task is too difficult to duplicate) the Principal may authorise an estimate for a task that has not been completed by the student. In all other cases, when a candidate fails to complete an assessment task by the due date, a zero may be recorded for that task. Suspension Unless forbidden by the Principal a suspended student is required to attend school during the time in which the Assessment Task is being conducted. If the Assessment Task is in the form of a written submission, the student must arrange for it to be emailed, faxed or handed to the class teacher or relevant KLA Head Teacher and recorded by the due time on the due date. Failure to comply with the above will result in a zero (0) mark being awarded for the task. Malpractice Any 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 NESA treats allegations of malpractice very seriously and detected malpractice will limit a student’s marks and jeopardise their HSC. Examples of malpractice include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Speaking to any person other than a supervisor during an examination/assessment task

Page 6: YEAR 11 PRELIMINARY CERTIFICATE ASSESSMENT POLICY ... · PRELIMINARY CERTIFICATE ASSESSMENT POLICY & SCHEDULE . 2018 . ST IVES HIGH SCHOOL . 2018 Year 11 Assessment Policy & Schedule

2018 Year 11 Assessment Policy & Schedule – Page vi

• Behaving in any way likely to disturb the work of any other candidate or upset the conducting of an examination / assessment task

• Attending an examination / assessment task while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs • Taking into an examination room any books, notes, the examination timetable, any paper, or any equipment

other than the aids specified in the Course Requirements. A list of specific aids will be issued before each examination / assessment task

• Taking mobile phones, electronic dictionaries or other electronic devices, except an approved calculator into the examination room

• ‘Plagiarism is when a candidate submits in whole or part work that someone else originated. It is cheating, it is dishonest, and it could jeopardise your HSC exam results.’ (NESA)

Proven malpractice and/or dishonesty will result in the AWARD OF ZERO for that task, and subject to the Principal’s recommendation could jeopardise the student being awarded a RoSA Certificate. If in the opinion of the Principal a student has attempted to gain an unfair advantage over other students by not completing or performing an assessment task at the due time and date then a zero will be awarded irrespective of the excuse or the submission of a Doctor’s Certificate.

Rights of Appeal Please note the grounds for appeal against school assessments. The reviews are limited to ensuring that:

(i) The weightings of the school assessment programs conform to those in the syllabus of each course (ii) The school’s procedures for determining assessments conform to its program (iii) There are no clerical or computational errors (iv) The assessment task was fair for all students in the course.

Any appeal is therefore directed at the assessment process. There will be no attempt to look into the quality of work, or to question the judgement of any teacher in arriving at marks for assessment tasks. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Absent on the day of notification of an assessment task Following all absences from school the onus is on the student to find out what work and what notifications they missed. Late arrival on the day of an assessment task School records must show that a student attended all lessons prior to the task on the day the assessment task is due. This is to ensure that no student is trying to get an unfair advantage. Failure to attend classes on the day of an assessment task prior to the task may result in a zero being awarded. Late arrival to a task Students who arrive late to a task will not be given additional time. It is the responsibility of students to ensure they get to the assessment task on time. This may mean catching earlier transport to avoid delays. Handing in “At Home” tasks Unless otherwise stated by the teacher, “At-Home” tasks must be handed in at the start of the lesson for that course on the due date. Absence on the day of an In-class assessment task due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances Provide the “Explanation of Absence” form and other documentation (such as “SIHS Medical Certificate”) to the KLA Head Teacher of the subject at the beginning of the first day of return to school. Students should arrive at school prepared to sit the missed task or alternative task (if the reason for absence is accepted). Illness / Misadventure on the day of an assessment task If a student feels well enough to sit a task but believes that their performance will be diminished by very recent illness/misadventure the student should notify the KLA Head Teacher prior to the task and complete an “Illness/Misadventure” form immediately after the task (to be handed to the KLA Head Teacher). Requesting leave of absence on the day of an in-class assessment task Use the “Explanation of Absence” form. Should special circumstances arise where a student is aware they will be absent on the day of an assessment task, they must request leave from the Principal and if granted, must notify the KLA Head Teacher as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made for the task or an alternative task to be done. Under exceptional circumstances the Principal may authorise the use of an estimated mark.

2018 Year 11 Assessment Policy & Schedule – Page vii

Absence on the day of a Hand-In Assessment Task Use the “Explanation of Absence” form If a student is away from school on the day of a hand-in task, it is their responsibility to arrange for someone to fax, email or deliver their work to the school. Their work should be accompanied with the completed “Explanation of Absence” Form. A student who misses an assessment task for medical reasons must use the “SIHS Medical Certificate” as documentation. This is to be attached to the “Explanation of Absence” or “Illness/ Misadventure” form. If the absence is due to a medical condition that prevented them from completing an “at-home” task for which they have been given several days to complete, they must hand in what has been completed on the due date. The balance of the task (if completed while absent) should be handed to the KLA Head Teacher as soon as the student returns to school with the “Explanation of Absence” and “SIHS Medical Certificate” attached to the front of the task. If the student is not able to complete any of the task, due to the nature of their illness, they must submit the “Explanation of Absence” form and “SIHS Medical Certificate” along with any other appropriate documentation to the KLA Head Teacher at the start of their first day back to school and make arrangements to do the task or alternative task. Long Term Illness Complete the “Notification of Long Term Illness” form and give it to the Deputy Principal (Year 11). Chronic illness (such as Glandular Fever or Chronic Fatigue) is not in itself accepted by the NESA for estimating marks. Querying the mark given for an assessment task An appeal or review will look at the procedures used in the assessment but will not question the judgement of the teacher. Students may ask the KLA Head Teacher for clarification of the mark awarded. Work on assessment tasks during class time Students are not permitted to miss classes to complete assessment tasks and major works for other courses. Do you have non-assessment assignments and homework? YES. One of the conditions of completing a course satisfactorily is that the student “must apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences in the course provided by the school”. Failure to complete homework and assignments may lead to N-warnings being given for unsatisfactory participation. Disability Provisions for assessment tasks Students who believe they could be eligible for disability provisions (eg rest breaks, writer etc) should apply to the Learning and Support Teacher. Students with Disability Confirmations from a medical professional should provide a copy with their application. Year 11 TAFE assessment – A message from the Careers Adviser TAFE is an adult learning environment and attendance, performance and behaviour at TAFE is strictly monitored, so if you are not fully committed to your TAFE course you may be issued with N-award warnings followed by an N-Determination, which means you will be unable to continue in that course and will lose the associated units. This may result in non-completion of the Preliminary Certificate. If you are unable to attend TAFE for any reason it is your responsibility to notify your TAFE teacher of your absence and seek a Doctor’s certificate. Don’t expect the school to inform the teacher on your behalf as in choosing to study a course at TAFE your relationship for that course is with TAFE. All matters concerning attendance and assessment at TAFE need to be negotiated by students and parents directly with TAFE. The Careers Adviser can provide you with details of the relevant TAFE contact person.

Schools may schedule examinations in preparation for the HSC exam. These do not form part of the RTO assessment requirements.

The assessment components in this course are competency based. This means that students need to demonstrate that they have gained and can apply the specific knowledge and skills of each unit of competency. Competency assessment is graded as “not yet competent” or “competent’. In some cases other descriptive words may be used leading up to “competent”. A course mark is not allocated.
