ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING IN THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

Standard-Referenced Approach

The Higher School Certificate will use a standards-referenced approach to assessment and reporting.

In a standards-referenced approach, the achievements of a student are assessed and reported

against specified standards of performance that are established for each course. Once established,

these standards remain constant.

Students will benefit from the introduction of a standards-referenced approach to the HSC as:

The marks students gain in a subject will be aligned with descriptions of what they know,

understand and can do,

Marks will reflect the standards actually achieved by students rather than just indicating a

position in a predetermined distribution,

There will be more meaningful and detailed reports with clear descriptions of the different

standards of performance,

Students who meet or exceed the minimum standard of performance expected will receive a

mark of 50 or more in a 2 unit course.

Standards-Referenced Approach and Internal Assessment

Internal and External Mark – HSC

The HSC will continue to have both internal and external assessment for Board Developed Courses.

At the end of the HSC course, schools will provide the Board with a mark only. This mark will be

calculated in accordance with the Board’s requirements. Schools will not be required to submit

descriptions of student performance or indicate a performance band. The marks submitted will

reflect the rank order and relative differences between student achievements. With the change to a

standards-referenced approach, it is the differing achievement of the standards that provides the

comparisons between students.

The internal assessment and the external examination will carry an equal weighting in the

determination of the student’s HSC performance in the course.

Internal and External Mark – HSC

The internal assessment marks and the marks on the external examination will be treated as follows:

The course assessment marks submitted by the school will be moderated by the

examination performance of the school group,

The moderated assessment and the examination mark will be averaged to provide a

composite mark,

Experienced markers will follow a structured procedure employing professional judgment to

determine what composite marks will correspond to the borderline between each

performance band. This step provides a set of ‘mapping points’ that enable student marks

to be aligned with the performance scale,

4

Internal and External Mark – HSC (cont.)

Each student’s moderated assessment mark and examination mark are then separately

aligned to the performance scale,

The average of a student’s assessment mark and examination mark, after alignment to the

performance scale, is then reported as the student’s HSC mark.

Reporting the HSC

Student achievement in a course will be reported on a performance scale consisting of:

A scale of marks from 0-100 accompanied by 6 bands or levels of achievement,

Specific descriptions of typical student performance in each of the different bands.

The scales report the performance standards for each course by describing:

The range of achievement of the outcomes,

Typical performance demonstrated by students in each band,

The difference in performance from band to band,

A minimum standard expected.

5

6

Process of Assessment in Each Course

The assessment submitted by the school (to the Board) for a particular course will be a measure of

student achievement relative to the other students by the end of the course in Year 12. The

assessment will be based on achievements measured during the course.

The assessment program for each course will involve a number of tasks including both formal test

situations and less formal, but nonetheless, systematic observation of student performance.

e.g.

Written, practical and/or aural/oral tests.

Class and/or home assignments, including essays and practical tasks.

Projects.

Oral presentations.

Observations of the participation in individual and group activities relating to the courses,

including class discussions and fieldwork.

In each course a mark will be determined for each student. This mark is derived by combining

weighted marks for various components, e.g. 25% practical, 50% writing, 10% speaking, 15%

assignments. The weights for each course are determined by the Board and are mandatory. They

cannot be altered. However, the weights for any possible sub-components in a course are

determined by the school. In the example above, 50% of total assessed mark derives from writing,

but the writing tasks will not necessarily have equal value.

Not every task given to students will be used in the assessment scheme for the course. Students will

receive a schedule for assessment tasks for all subjects. All other tasks are required to be completed

as part of the normal course requirements. If a student is absent from school, he/she should check

with his/her teachers what work has been missed and if any assessment information has been given

out. No student is to complete more than three (3) assessment tasks in any one week. This includes

assessment tasks which have a progressive mark component e.g. Drama etc. Students must receive

no less than fourteen (14) days’ notice of the day (date) and period for which the task is scheduled

for completion. This must include a detailed handout which informs each student of:

Date of issue.

Date for submission.

Weightings involved in the task.

Outcomes to be assessed as stated in the syllabus.

Assessment criteria to be used for the task.

The task description.

Students are expected to work steadily towards future submission dates.

No assessment tasks will be scheduled for the two weeks prior to the Semester 1 examination and

the Trial HSC examinations.

Students working on practical projects or activities which are assessment tasks can be required to

work on these or submit the task during the two week period prior to the exams.

7

Process of Assessment in Each Course (cont.)

Any changes to this schedule due to exceptional circumstances must be negotiated with the

students involved and ratified by the Principal.

It is permissible for a Head Teacher to vary the outcomes previously assigned to a task only under

exceptional circumstances. Students must be informed within fourteen (14) days of the submission

of the task.

Where an internal assessment task is labelled an exam task, all students must receive, within

fourteen (14) days prior to the commencement of the exam period, printed notification of:

Weightings involved in each question.

Outcomes to be assessed in each question.

General assessment criteria to be used for each question.

Features which are part of a test answer.

Where a subject appears on two (2) separate curriculum lines, and assessment tasks are scheduled

at different times, all students in both classes must be given an assessment timeline clearly outlining

this. The timeline is to be distributed to both classes within a three (3) school day time frame.

The time allocated for the completion of assessment tasks must be equitable. Classes on more than

one curriculum line may be given different tasks to complete at different times, however, the

outcomes, weightings and time for completion must be the same.

Furthermore the genre selected for the task must be the same; however, the question may be

different but equitable.

Provisions for Illness and Misadventure

No compensation will be made for factors such as extended illness, misadventure or domestic

problems affecting the preparation or performance of a student throughout the course. However,

where the result of an assessment task was affected by a valid reason, the school may use a mark

based on a substitute task or, in exceptional circumstances, an estimate based on other evidence.

Misadventure and Submission of Assessment Task

If a student requests consideration for misadventure, it is the responsibility of the class teacher to

collect all relevant documentation associated with the task(s) and forward it to the Head Teacher for

decision.

8

Right of Appeal

After each assessment task and after the last HSC examination, students will be informed of their

mark and order of merit (rank – not a mark) respectively in the assessment within each course.

Students can appeal, i.e. request a review of their assessment mark and/or ranking of they feel that

their mark and/or rank is not consistent with their expectations on the basis of their performance on

assessment tasks.

If a student requests a review of either or both of the above, it is the responsibility of the class

teacher to collect all relevant documentation associated with the task(s) and forward it to the Head

Teacher for decision.

If the request remains unresolved the Head Teacher submits all documentation to the Principal or

their delegated officer for decision.

In reviewing the procedures for determining assessments, the school must have:

Conformed to the weightings detailed in the Subject Guides,

Conformed with the procedures in the stated School Assessment Program,

Made no computational or clerical errors.

If the school has fulfilled the above three conditions, no change to the assessment will be made. If

the review made by the school does not comply with the Board’s requirements, the student may

appeal to the Board. The review process must be completed before the end of the school year.

Non-Completion of Assessment Tasks

In order to have studied a Board course satisfactorily, the Board expects each candidate to have

completed all assessment tasks.

The satisfactory completion of a course requires Principals to have sufficient evidence that the

student has:

Followed the course developed or endorsed by the Board,

Applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences

provided in the course by the school,

Achieved some or all of the course outcomes.

Tasks which are incomplete or not submitted on time will be awarded a zero mark unless the

student’s explanation is accepted by the Principal as valid. The student must present a doctors’

certificate or statutory declaration witnessed by a Justice of the Peace to seek consideration under

the Illness and Misadventure Guidelines. This documentation is to be presented to the Principal for

consideration and must be submitted within 5 days of the date of the set task. A mark of zero will

be given for any assessment task not submitted on the due date unless the Principal has accepted

the written evidence as justification for non-compliance. The student may be required to attempt

an alternate task or, in exceptional circumstances, may be assessed on the basis of other evidence.

It is the student’s responsibility to approach the teacher to make arrangements to undertake the

task as soon as possible.

9

Non-Completion of Assessment Tasks (cont.)

Students must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks which contribute in excess of 50% of

available marks. Completion of tasks worth exactly 50% is not sufficient; tasks worth in excess of

50% must be completed.

In the case of competency-based courses, it is a matter for the Principal to determine whether the

attempts made by the student to complete the course are genuine.

Where students are studying for a course which includes an examination, students must sit for and

make a genuine attempt at such examinations.

Whilst the Board of Studies does not determine attendance requirements, Principals may determine

that, as a result of absence, the course completion criteria, as detailed above have not been met. All

such warnings must relate the absences to specific unsatisfactory completion of course

requirements.

Parents will be advised in writing when a zero mark is awarded. If a student fails to complete

assessment tasks worth 20% of the total mark for any subject the parents will be invited to discuss

the matter with the school. A similar discussion would be scheduled if 40% of the total mark was

not reached.

When zero marks for non-attempts are awarded for 50% worth of the total assessment mark, the

Principal cannot certify that the course has been satisfactorily studied.

If a student fails to satisfactorily complete an HSC course in spite of receiving three written warnings

outlining specific areas of concern, then an ‘N’ determination will be given.

This determination will mean that the student will not receive a result in this course and it may

affect the eligibility for the award of the HSC and ATAR (if applicable).

Malpractice During Assessment Tasks and Non-Serious Attempts

Students are subject to normal school rules during assessment tasks. During assessment tasks being

completed at school, students are not permitted to:

Smoke, eat, or drink. Exceptions in the case of food and drink will only be made on medical

grounds,

Speak to any person other than the supervisor,

Behave in any way likely to disturb the work of any other student or upset the conduct of

the assessment task,

Attend a task whilst under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs,

Use any notes, books or aids not specified as allowable by the supervisor,

Remove from a room in which a task has been held all or any part of an answer (any answer

or part of an answer removed is not to be considered for assessment),

Cheat in any way,

Commit any illegal act.

10

Malpractice During Assessment Tasks and Non-Serious Attempts (cont.)

Breaches of the aforementioned, in proven cases, will result in the student being awarded a zero

mark. All such cases will be reported to parents and the student will be disciplined under existing

school procedures. Where an illegality has taken place, the police may be informed.

For tasks completed in the students own time, where allegations of dishonesty are made, the

Principal will conduct an enquiry.

Student Responsibilities

Know when assessment tasks are due. If absent when you return, check which tasks have

been set.

Be present for and hand in all assessment tasks on the due date or provide a valid excuse the

next day you attend school as per the rules outlined in the booklet. Failure to do so will see

a mark of zero being awarded.

Where possible, notify your teacher of any problems with an assessment task in advance.

Ensure that you hand tasks directly to your teacher, if a task is lost and there is no record of

it being handed in a mark of zero will be awarded.

Check the marking of tasks and assessment rankings immediately these are given to you.

Attend all timetabled lessons on the day of assessment tasks otherwise a medical certificate

or other suitable explanation will be required, no student should gain an unfair advantage

over other students.

Make a serious attempt at every HSC assessment task. If a student presents non-original

work or is caught cheating a mark of zero will be awarded. The parents of students found

guilty of any malpractice will be notified and further action will be at the discretion of the

subject Head Teacher in consultation with the Principal.

Complete 50% of the available marks in a subject otherwise an Unsatisfactory completion

will be submitted for that subject.

Students should:

- Allocate time to prepare for every test and assignment even though they may not

count towards their final assessment,

- Realise that all work done contributes to their skills and knowledge of the course

which will help in assessment tasks,

- Realise that good assessments may indicate that they are a reliable and/or

conscientious student to a prospective employer.

Register of Malpractice in HSC Assessment Tasks

Identifying and understanding how malpractice occurs in Higher School Certificate assessment tasks

is an important part of building prevention strategies, and retaining confidence in the HSC.

For many years, the Board of Studies has collected and published information on malpractice in HSC

examinations. The development of this Register of Malpractice in HSC Assessment Tasks will build

on that body of knowledge.

The aggregated data published by the Board, which will not identify studens or schools, will help

identify:

11

Register of Malpractice in HSC Assessment Tasks (cont)

If malpractice is more prevalent in particular courses

If certain types of assessment tasks are more susceptible to malpractice

How many students engage in repeated incidents of malpractice

The range of penalties for different types ofmalpractice.

The implementation of this Register is supported by the Independent Commission Against

Corruption.

All schools are required to participate by entering information on proven cases of malpractice in HSC

assessment tasks.

The Register becomes effective for the 2014 HSC cohort, from term 4 2013 at the commencement of

the HSC assessment program. All instances of proven malpractice in HSC assessment tasks must be

entered into the Register.

While the entry of proven incidents of malpractice is required for the 2014 HSC cohort, the Register

is being piloted in 2013 to identify where improvements may be made. During this time schools may

familiarise themselves with the register and its requirements prior to term 4, possibly by entering

cases of malpractice in late 2013.

Students or schools will not be identified. At the end of the year, the Board will aggregate the data

provided by schools without identifying either the school or the students involved. Data concerning

the incidence of malpractice in s particular school will be protected by the Board of Studies 2014.

Under the provisions of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009, the Board can classify

such information as having “overriding public interest against disclosure” for the purposes of

disclosure under the GIPA Act.

The key data included in the Register is:

The course involved

The type of offence

The nature of the assessment task

The penalty applied.

To assist with managing the Register, selections are provided in drop-down lists.

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

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.

12

Register of Malpractice in HSC Assessment Tasks (cont)

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, technical or transport

issues or lack of motivation.

Submitted work may be classified as a non-serious attempt where it is frivolous or offensive. Failure

to reach a level of achievement does not necessarily constitute a non-serious attempt. Where the

school applies a penalty for a frivolous or offensive response, the issue should be recorded on the

malpractice register.

Further information on the malpractice register, or on malpractice in HSC assessment tasks can be

obtained from the Board of Studies Liaison Officer (BOSLO) in the first instance. BOSLO contact

details are listed on the Board website at

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/contact/staff_boslo.html.

See also Best Practice Strategies for Preventing and Dealing with Malpractice on the Board of Studies

website.

Advice

Parents who would like more advice of information on Higher School Certificate assessment are

invited to contact the school for an appointment to meet with the most appropriate teacher.

Perhaps the Careers Adviser or the Year Adviser or the Head Teacher of a subject may be of

assistance.

Courses and Details

On pages 15 to 34 you will find assessment details for the courses taken at Bomaderry High School

by students in Year 12 (2014/2015).

These details do not constitute a comprehensive assessment program, but are rather, the

mandatory basis from which each course has its program planned. Details of the program of

assessment for each course will be given to students as the course progresses.

VET COURSES

Vet courses are based on competencies

Students will receive a number of opportunities throughout their course to achieve competencies.

The teacher will indicate to the student if a competency is in jeopardy of not being achieved.

Evidence of Competence

Evidence of competence will be gathered on an on-going basis which may include assessment tasks,

projects, assignments, written and practical tests or examinations, role plays and simulations.

Failure to complete these may result in not achieving a competency.

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/contact/staff_boslo.html

13

Planned Assessment

All VET students must complete assessment tasks as outlined in the relevant subject and must follow

the guidelines detailed in this booklet.

HSC Examination

Students who opt not to sit the HSC Examination, may still qualify for the relevant Certificate I or II in

that course if they achieve competency in all units. All competencies must be completed by the

Friday prior to the first HSC examination. Students will receive sufficient notification of competency

tests and those competencies not achieved. If all competencies are not achieved, their relevant

qualification will not be obtained.

Internal Examinations

All VET students will be required to sit for Semester 1 and Trial HSC Examinations. These

examinations may contribute to their competency based assessment programs and form the HSC

estimate in case of illness or misadventure in the HSC examination.

Competency Record i.e. Log Books

Students have access to their Log Books, which will be stored in a secure place in the school. Log

Books will be given to students at the end of the course.

Work Placement

All students must complete 35 hours of work placement to satisfactorily complete a VET course in

Year 11 and 35 hours of work placement to satisfactorily complete a VET course in Year 12. Students

are required to complete these hours as 2 x 35 hour blocks (2 weeks) unless changed/altered by

prior arrangement with their teacher. Work placement times are published at the beginning of the

year in the school calendar and are not negotiable unless in an emergency situation.

Attendance in VET courses

Students must stay in a VET course until the end of the school year in Year 11 to complete the

required hours. Students not attending class will be dealt with as per the Bomaderry High School

Assessment Guidelines.

Contact person: Mrs. Butfield (VET Coordinator)
