2018-2019 HSC Assessment Schedule 3
NORTHLAKES HIGH SCHOOL HSC ASSESSMENT POLICY AND GUIDELINES
A student’s HSC mark is determined by their level of achievement of the outcomes in each HSC Course that they complete successfully. The HSC mark is based on performance in the:
• School-based internal assessment program, and
• Higher School Certificate examinations
The School-based assessment program and the HSC exams each contribute 50% towards the HSC mark.
The marks indicated on the HSC credentials will reflect the student’s level of achievement based on the Performance Bands (please ask your teacher for a copy of the Performance Bands relevant to each of your courses).
The purpose of the internal, school-based assessment is to measure a student’s achievement across the full range of syllabus objectives and outcomes. Students complete a range of formal assessment tasks which may include tests, essays, reports, practical tasks, research activities or major projects. The school has to provide a mark (out of 100 in a 2 Unit course) to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for inclusion in the HSC mark.
This booklet provides an outline of the school-based assessment program for the HSC courses offered. Students and parents should ensure that they understand the procedures, programs and implications of the materials presented.
The NESA and the school place a lot of emphasis on the school-based programs. Students should endeavour to do their best in all assessment tasks regardless of task weighting.
ELIGIBILITY FOR THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
To be eligible for the award of the HSC, students must:
• Have satisfactorily completed courses which comprise the pattern of study required by the NESA.
• Sit for and make a serious attempt at the HSC examinations.
• Make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks which contribute in excess of 50% of the available marks in each of the courses undertaken.
SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF A COURSE
A student will have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the principal’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:
• Followed the course developed or endorsed by the NESA.
• Applied him or herself with diligence and sustained effort to ALL of the set tasks and experiences provided in the course.
• Achieved some or all of the course outcomes.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
• Students who select a vocational Education (VET) course must complete the mandatory work placement in order to meet the course requirements. Failure to do so will result in an N Award being issued (see next section – N Awards).
• Students who meet the specific criteria may apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for course outcomes or work placement requirements. Details will be provided separately to all VET students.
ATTENDANCE
• Student attendance patterns must be satisfactory in terms of allowing each student to achieve the course outcomes being studied.
• Students who miss more than 10 weeks of a course, and are not on approved leave, will be deemed to have abandoned their studies and will be withdrawn from the course with NESA.
2018-2019 HSC Assessment Schedule 4
IMPROVEMENT PLANS
• Students will be given early Warnings of Failure to meet Course Completion criteria and will be involved in an improvement plan process.
• Should a student fail to respond positively to such warnings, an N Award may be issued and the student is withdrawn from the subject.
UNSATISFACTORY PROGRESS IN A COURSE
1. Any student whose attendance is called into question and who is failing to complete required course work will be required to prove to the principal’s satisfaction that they are meeting the course completion requirements.
2. If a student is at risk of not meeting the requirements and/or of not satisfactorily completing a course, a warning will be given to indicate that the student may be in danger of “non-completion” of a course/s. Non-completion of a course will result in an N Determination - the student will not receive credit for completing that course/s and may not be awarded the Higher School Certificate.
3. The school will:
(a) Advise the student in writing with the letter registered in the school’s mail system in time for the problem to be corrected and for the student to be able to redeem themselves, by meeting the requirements of the improvement plan.
(b) Advise the parent or guardian in writing if the student is under 18 (this will usually be in the same letter as set out in (a).
(c) Request from the student/parent a written acknowledgement of receipt of the warning letter and involve the student in the resolution of the problem.
4. The school views the achievement of the HSC very seriously. Students who are not making a serious attempt at their courses will be interviewed by head teachers and/or the deputy principal to make them aware of the requirements and consequences.
5. The student, in serious circumstances, may be deemed to be a non-serious student and expelled for unsatisfactory participation in learning.
PROCEDURES FOR ASSESSMENT
1. Students should refer to the assessment schedules and calendar that are contained in this booklet and make a note of each of the tasks required of them. This includes dates for the Trial HSC Examinations.
2. Teachers will give students at least 14 days written notice of the details of the assessment and what students need to do in order to demonstrate their achievement of the outcomes in a formal notice. Students must sign on the date they receive this notice.
3. Dates for exams including the Trial HSC are firmly set in place. Students who are unable to complete an exam should contact the deputy principal immediately and make arrangements. Absence on family holidays will not be an acceptable reason for missing exams. Failure to complete an examination may lead to a zero result.
4. If a student is absent from school, it is their responsibility to approach their teacher to determine if any tasks were notified during their absence.
5. Students found to be completing assessment tasks by either:
• Non-attendance at scheduled classes during the day or
• Working on tasks during other subject lessons
will be subject to school discipline procedures.
6. Students who submit a task but receive less than 35% of the available marks in that task will be deemed to have made a non-serious attempt at that task, unless the teacher is satisfied that there are circumstances that exist to justify this result. Students will be awarded the mark for the task but will receive a warning for non-completion of the course. Students will be expected to make a serious attempt at this task and re-submit within three weeks of receipt of the warning.
7. Students must sign with their teacher when they submit a task.
8. Students must sign a change of assessment procedure form with their teacher if any task is not held on a scheduled date.
2018-2019 HSC Assessment Schedule 5
APPEALS
1. If a student is absent from an assessment task, then:
• If the absence is known in advance, the student should notify their teacher and discuss the reason. An alternate date and time for the task to be completed may be negotiated in appropriate cases.
• Where a legitimate illness prevents the completion of the task, the student should phone the school and leave a message for the teacher. A Doctor’s Certificate MUST be presented to the deputy principal on the day of return to school. The HSC Assessment Committee will determine the genuineness of the absence and make a recommendation to the teacher concerned with regard to action to be taken.
• A Student Appeal Form, available from the deputy principal, must be filled out and attached to any request for consideration for a missed task.
• Where ‘misadventure’ is the cause of the absence (e.g. family bereavement), then a Statutory Declaration that fully explains the circumstances MUST be presented to the deputy principal on the day of return to school. Written evidence where ever possible should be included. The HSC Assessment Committee will determine the genuineness of the absence and make a recommendation to the teacher concerned with regard to action to be taken.
2. If a task is due to be handed in on a certain day, then normally it would be handed in on the date and time specified in the assessment notification. Tasks submitted after this time will be given zero (0) marks.
3. Use of electronic means for preparation and submission of assessment tasks – if a student uses this medium to prepare assessment tasks and/or assignments, then they must ensure that appropriate backup copies and hard copies are kept well in advance of the due date. Failure of technology (e.g. a corrupt USB, computer crash) without ample evidence of the stages of the ‘lost’ work, is not acceptable as a reason for late or non-submission.
4. Appeals – if a student feels that his or her mark or rank in an assessment task is incorrect, then they should firstly approach the teacher or head teacher concerned. If the situation is not resolved satisfactorily, the student may appeal to the school’s HSC Assessment Committee for a review of the process. Students should speak to the deputy principal as soon as possible regarding any concerns with this issue.
MALPRACTICE
1. Malpractice in examinations and/or assessment tasks – talking, use of electronic devices than can transmit or receive data, cheating, plagiarism, copying another student’s work, etc, will be viewed seriously by the school. The student/s will be interviewed by the deputy principal, and an appropriate penalty will be determined. A score of zero (0) will be recorded for a student in an examination or assessment task as a result of malpractice. Students will be required to re-sit the NESA ‘All My Own Work’ online program. HSC students will have their malpractice formally recorded with NESA.
THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
Students and parents must be aware that the HSC is “standards-referenced” – that is, a student’s performance is compared to established standards.
The standards are available to students in the performance bands – these can be obtained from your teacher or from the syllabus and NESA web-site.
Upon successful completion of the HSC courses, students will receive various documents from the school and NESA.
(a) The school will provide:
• Reports for the Half Yearly and Yearly assessment period. These reports will contain examination marks, outcomes information, current assessment rankings and comments on the student’s progress.
• A reference – this will be provided at the conclusion of the Year 12 course when leaving procedures have been completed, including return of all textbooks and payment of course fees.
(b) The NESA will provide:
• The HSC Testamur or Certificate.
• A summary of results achieved along with an indication of the performance band that reflects the student’s level of achievement of the outcomes in each subject.
• Course reports which will show the examination mark, school-based assessment mark, the HSC mark (a combination of the 2 previous marks) and a description of the typical performance of students in each band.
