INTRODUCTION Student assessment provides evidence for making judgement about student achievement. This booklet will inform you clearly of assessment tasks that must be completed to show that you have satisfied the requirements of the course. The student must also complete all course work to a satisfactory standard in order to meet the requirements of the HSC course. Your Year Advisers and the Careers Adviser are available to assist you if you have any concerns or problems regarding your Higher School Certificate, the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) or whether your pattern of study best suits the career path you wish to take. It is most important to keep your Year Advisers up to date with changes to your study. They will provide you with support if you are experiencing any problems that may affect your studies. If you are going to be absent for any period of time, seek approval from the Principal first. Extended leave for Year 12 students is unlikely to be approved by the Principal. Mia Kumar Julia Alvarado Heather Oh Principal Rel. Deputy Principal Year Adviser

DISABILITIES PROVISIONS

If your daughter has a diagnosed medical condition such as a mental health issue or diagnosed learning difficulty she may be eligible for Disabilities Provisions. Disabilities Provisions must be applied for and approved by NESA for the Higher School Certificate examinations. They may also apply for school based assessment tasks. Disabilities Provisions may include extra time to write, extra time to rest and separate supervision. Should your daughter be eligible please contact the school counsellor, Marja Boddeus on 9747 3355.

NSW EDUCATION STANDARDS AUTHORITY (NESA)

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF A 2019 HSC

Students should refer to:

• Rules and Procedures for 2019 Higher School Certificate Candidates: http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/11-12/hsc/rules-and-processes/rules-procedures-guide-students/2019-rules-procedures-guide-students

1) GENERAL INFORMATION


DN/17/00085 Attachment 1

REQUIREMENTS OF THE EDUCATION ACT 1990

IN RELATION TO THE NSW HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE Higher School Certificate – section 95 (1) Higher School Certificates are to be granted by NESA to students who:

(a) have been granted a Record of School Achievement or who have attained such other qualifications as NESA considers satisfactory, and

(b) have attended a government school, or a registered non-government school to which a current certificate of accreditation for presentation of candidates for the Higher School Certificate applies, or a school outside New South Wales recognised by NESA or a TAFE establishment, and

(c) have participated, to NESA’s satisfaction, in courses of study which have been determined under this Act as appropriate to be undertaken by candidates for the Higher School Certificate, and

(d) have been accepted by NESA as having satisfactorily completed those courses of study, and

(e) have, to NESA’s satisfaction, undertaken the requisite examinations or other forms of assessment, and

(f) have complied with any requirements prescribed by the regulations or any requirements imposed by the Minister or NESA.

(2) The requisite examination or other assessment must include a public examination conducted on a state-wide basis.

(3) NESA may refuse to grant a Higher School Certificate to a student whose attendance or application at school has been of such an unsatisfactory character that the grant of the certificate would not, in the opinion of NESA, be justified.

Curriculum for Higher School Certificate candidates – section 12 The curriculum during Year 11 and Year 12 for students who are candidates for the Higher School Certificate must meet the following requirements: (a) courses of study of a general description determined by the Minister on the

recommendation of NESA are to be provided for each student in each year (b) those courses of study are to include a course of study in English (c) those courses of study are to comply with a pattern of study determined by the

http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/fullhtml/inforce/act+8+1990+FIRST+0+N



PATTERN OF STUDY REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST FOR THE 2019 HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

Do students who will complete the Higher School Certificate in 2019 meet the following pattern of study requirements?

At least 12 units of Preliminary courses and 10 units of HSC courses. [Ref: Assessment Certification Examination (ACE), ACE 8005]

At least 2 units of a Board Developed Course in English (or 2 units of the Content Endorsed Course English Studies) at both Preliminary and HSC level.

At least 4 subjects – at both Preliminary and HSC level.

At least 6 units of Board Developed Courses – at both Preliminary and HSC level.

At least 3 courses of 2 unit value or greater (Board Developed and/or Board Endorsed Courses) – at both Preliminary and HSC level.

A maximum of 6 Preliminary units and 6 HSC units from courses in Science. [Ref: ACE 8006]

In the Preliminary study pattern, Senior Science has not been studied in combination with Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science or Physics.

In the HSC study pattern, Senior Science can be studied in combination with Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science or Physics. Students undertaking Senior Science in the HSC study pattern must have satisfactorily completed the Preliminary course in at least one Science course. [Ref: ACE 8006, 8011]

General Mathematics can be studied with no other Mathematics Course. [Ref: ACE 8011]

Met eligibility requirements for the English (ESL) course [Ref: ACE 8007]

Met eligibility requirements and completed the NESA eligibility form for Continuers courses in those languages which also offer [Language] in Context and [Language] and Literature courses. Met eligibility requirements and completed the NESA eligibility form for Beginners courses and [Language] in Context courses. Relevant documentation has been completed and retained at the school. [Ref: ACE 8002]

All students undertaking Preliminary or HSC courses in 2019 are required to complete the HSC: All My Own Work program (or equivalent) prior to the school’s submission of students’ 2017 Preliminary and HSC course entries. This includes students who are entered for Stage 6 Board Endorsed Courses or Board Developed VET courses.

Exception: Completion of the HSC: All My Own Work program (or equivalent) is optional for students undertaking only Stage 6 Life Skills courses. Schools are encouraged to devise an appropriate equivalent of the HSC: All My Own Work program for students with disability, as necessary.

Board Endorsed Courses have current endorsement

Students are not enrolled in any Board Developed Course, Content Endorsed Course, TAFE delivered VET HSC Course or Board Endorsed Course combinations which are subject to Board exclusions [For exclusions please see ACE 7001, 8010, 8011, 8012 8018 PLUS also check your school BEC decision letters or check for BEC decisions via Schools Online.] VET course exclusions are available on the NESA website under Vocational Education.

REMINDERS

Students seeking an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) in 2019 must complete at least 10 units of Board Developed Courses for which there are formal examinations conducted by NESA, including (a) at least 2 units of English, and (b) at least 8 units of Category A courses (only two units of Category B Courses can contribute to an ATAR). Courses completed must include at least three Board Developed Courses of 2 units or greater and at least four subjects. The list of Category A courses is published on the UAC website.

NB: Board Endorsed Courses and Content Endorsed Courses, including VET Board Endorsed Courses, the Content Endorsed Course, English Studies, and the new non-examinable Mathematics General 1 course do not satisfy requirements for the ATAR.

Schools should note that additional departmental curriculum requirements (e.g. sport, religious education, 25 hours of PD/H/PE etc.) or conditions of enrolment at individual schools are not requirements for NESA HSC Certificate credentialing.

Schools will need to ensure that NESA requirements are met in cases of accumulation, acceleration, repeating, recognition of prior learning and in any cases of non-completion of course requirements [please refer to the ACE website: Satisfactory completion, Pathways and Credit transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning for details].

Consideration must be given to the need for reasonable adjustments for students with disability to enable equitable participation in the full range of education activities. The collaborative planning process allows for the personalised learning and support needs of students with disability to be identified. This includes course options, provision of adjustments and HSC disability provisions. Actively identifying and responding to the learning and support needs of students is an ongoing school process and should not be reliant on parents or students requesting support. Information about HSC disability provisions including the application process is available on the NESA website

Students with disability can meet the requirements for the award of the Higher School Certificate by undertaking a combination of Board Developed Courses, Board Endorsed Courses and/or Stage 6 Life Skills Courses. Principals will be required to certify on the Preliminary and HSC entry forms that enrolment of a student in any Life Skills Courses for Stage 6 is the result of a planning process that addresses the student’s transition from school to adult life [please refer to the ACE website: Studying HSC Life Skills courses].

Schools are responsible for overseeing the delivery of VET courses by external providers.

HSC ASSESSMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES

1. General Information

HSC assessment in Year 12 gives credit for consistent performance. It may assess aspects of the course that are not examined in the Higher School Certificate examination. Burwood Girls High School has developed a program that covers NESA requirements, with complete fairness to students, and balance between courses. Students are required to be diligent and complete all tasks presented to them.

This assessment process will begin Term 4 of the preliminary year, and will finish at the end of Term 2 before the Trial Higher School Certificate examinations (excepting practical tasks, LOTE speaking tasks and culmination of practical projects).

Not every piece of work completed will be part of the “assessment” mark, some work is set to practise skills so that the students can see how well they understand the topic. All set work should be regarded as an essential course requirement, even when it is not included as an assessment task. Students will automatically fail a course if they do not make a satisfactory attempt to complete assessable tasks with a weighting of over 50%.

Attendance at all timetabled lessons is an important step to fulfilling course requirements. The Principal may decide that a student’s attendance has made it impossible for course outcomes to be achieved. NESA suggests that absences greater than 15% make it difficult to satisfactorily complete a course.

Students may also be deemed not to have satisfactorily completed a course if there is sufficient evidence of:

a) failure to complete experiences specified in the syllabus, eg fieldwork, oral presentations, assignments, practical work, participation in class;

b) non-serious or trivial preparation for exams.

2. Notification of Assessment Results

Students are provided with information on their performance in each task (mark and / or rank). Students are NOT told their final school assessment mark, but will be given their progressive ranking. Students may collect the final Assessment Rank Order Notice on completion of their HSC exams.

3. Student Responsibilities YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ASSESSMENT in a number of ways. If you

act irresponsibly you may end up with a ZERO MARK (0). YOU MUST BE FAMILIAR with the assessment policies set out in this book for each

subject you take. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to:

(a) ATTEND SCHOOL, be AWARE OF DUE DATES for assessment tasks and complete tasks ON TIME. If you are absent for any number of days you must check with your teachers to see if any assessment tasks have been set on the FIRST DAY of your return to school.

(b) BE ON TIME to assessment tasks: you will NOT be given an extension of time. If you

are late to any task held in school time or at the beginning of the day, then the Deputy


Principals or the Principal must verify that you have a LEGITIMATE reason for being later and give you a note to that effect.

(c) BE PRESENT to do all in-school assessment tasks. Students who are absent ON

THE DAY of the task must provide a doctor’s certificate explaining this absence. See “What Happens If You Miss A Task?”. You must sit for a minimum of 50% of all assessment tasks on the due day.

(d) BE PRESENT the DAY BEFORE A TASK. Students who are absent the day before

a task must provide a doctor’s certificate explaining this absence. This includes when absent on a Friday when a task is completed on the following Monday.

(e) Students who are absent in the days before a task may be asked to explain in writing

if it is believed they are gaining an unfair advantage through their absence. (f) HAND IN any homework assessment task on time.

YOU MUST NOT under any circumstances leave a piece of work on a teacher’s desk as no record will have been established of its presentation. Therefore any work not personally handed to the class teacher or a person nominated by the class teacher will be dealt with in the same manner as for failure to complete a task and a ZERO MARK will be awarded accordingly. Friends are NOT to hand in your task. If absent on the day a task is due, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher or faculty Head Teacher of the (9747 3355) ON THE FIRST DAY OF ABSENCE.

(g) BRING A MEDICAL CERTIFICATE or other documentation justifying your absence

to your teacher (and a copy to the front office) on your FIRST DAY BACK at school if you are absent for an assessment test or are absent on the day a task is due. Back-dated medical certificates are not acceptable. These doctors’ certificates must state a detailed reason for inability to attend and/or complete the task. Students who habitually present doctors' certificates for assessment tasks will be deemed to be non-serious students unless the school is aware of a prior medical condition. On return to school, collect an “Illness, Accident or Misadventure Application” form from the Deputy Principal and submit it with your doctor’s certificate to the Deputy Principal within 48 hours of your return to school.

(h) NOTIFY your teacher and Head Teacher of any assessment problems in advance,

e.g. clash of dates with an excursion or knockout team. You must discuss this situation with the Head Teacher of the subject that has the assessment task. If an alternative date cannot be found the assessment comes first.

(i) If you come to school and become ill on the day of an assessment task, or have suffered a misadventure immediately prior to the day of an assessment task, you must inform the teacher on the day before the task begins. Illness/misadventure forms must be submitted to the teacher, supported by a doctor’s certificate, within 48 hours.

(j) If you are a student with a known illness that is documented with the Deputy Principal

and/or the School Counsellor, you can negotiate an extension only at the time of the issuing of the task.

(k) CHECK THE MARKING of each task when it is returned to you. (l) CHECK YOUR ASSESSMENT RANK when it is given to you.


(m) REFER to the NESA website for current course information, including course outcomes, https://syllabus.nesa.nsw.edu.au/stage-6/

Some prolonged absences, eg a holiday overseas, cannot be taken into account and could lead to you not meeting outcomes in that subject. You must seek approval from the Principal before you take your leave.

4. Assessment Task Procedures

You will be given at least 2 weeks’ notice in writing of any assessment task. All the class will be asked to sign a “record of issue/collection of task” form stating the date and time of day the task is due. It is up to you to abide by the guidelines set out in this assessment booklet.

Students may not submit draft work for marking in the FIVE days prior to the due date of the task. That is, if the assessment is due:

o on a Monday, no work may be handed in after Tuesday of the week prior. o on a Tuesday, no work may be handed in after Wednesday of the week prior. o and so on.

Students may only submit ONE draft for marking in the two weeks prior to the date of the task.

Assessment tasks must be submitted on the due date. A zero mark will be awarded for work submitted late, unless a doctor’s certificate (to be supplied on the date of your return) or exceptional circumstances deemed acceptable by the Deputy Principal and Head Teacher are supplied (in writing) with a completed “Illness/Misadventure” form. These doctors’ certificates must state a detailed reason for inability to attend and/or complete the task.

It is your responsibility to see your teacher or Head Teacher before school on the morning of your return to school to hand in the task or to arrange to complete a missed in-class task. The teacher and Head Teacher of the course will decide what sort of task will need to be submitted, eg an alternative task or the original task. It is up to the discretion of the Head Teacher of the subject as to whether you sit the original task, sit an alternative task or receive an estimate. You must provide documentation on the day of your return and complete an “Illness/Misadventure” form within 48 hours.

The Deputy Principal in exceptional circumstances may authorise an estimate to be given for a missed task.

You will be awarded a zero mark for an assessment task/examination if you have cheated, submitted a non-serious attempt, plagiarised or committed any other form of malpractice.

If you are completing compulsory work placement you will not be disadvantaged. If there is sufficient time prior to commencing work placement the task can be submitted early or handed in by another person on the due date. It is your responsibility to notify your teacher and Head Teacher once you are aware that you will be on work placement when the task is due. A new date may be set by the Head Teacher which should be recorded on the “record of issue/collection” form.

If you are involved in knockout sport you must notify your teacher and Head Teacher as soon as you are aware of the clash of dates. Permission to attend the knockout game will be at the discretion of the Head Teacher and Head Teacher PDHPE. You may be given the option of completing the task prior to competing in the knockout game or, if it is a research task you need to arrange for it to be handed in to your teacher on the required day.

If you choose to prepare and produce work with the use of computer technology it is your responsibility to ensure a hard copy is made well in advance of the due date.


Computer and associated technology malfunction, even theft, without evidence of “work in progress” is not a reason for late submission.

If you believe a task has been incorrectly marked you should discuss the matter with the class teacher concerned as soon as you receive the task back. Dissent about a mark which a teacher has determined is NOT grounds for appeal.

If you believe you have been unfairly treated in being awarded a zero mark for an assessment task you may seek clarification from the Head Teacher of the course or go through the appeals process on page 12.

5. Unsatisfactory Completion of Course

If you fail to satisfy minimum course requirements you will be awarded an ‘N’ determination. This means you have failed the course and it will not count towards the HSC. (You must complete at least 12 preliminary units + 10 HSC units.)

What should ‘N’ Award letters be written for?

(a) Failure to submit assessable tasks. Assessable tasks are those in the assessment booklet.

(b) Lack of diligence. This is when a student has failed to complete a significant amount of non-assessable work such as class work, homework, practical work and other learning tasks the teacher has assigned – a genuine attempt must be made of all tasks.

(c) Not completing the prescribed course. This is most obvious when the student has poor attendance and misses a large amount of lessons. When a student’s attendance drops below 85% they may be considered as not adequately completing the course.

6. What happens if you miss a task? IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you be in attendance when assessment tasks are scheduled. Failure to complete a task without adequate reason will result in a ZERO MARK being awarded for the task.

UNAVOIDABLE ABSENCES caused by illness or misadventure must be explained IN WRITING and accompanied by a MEDICAL CERTIFICATE or other APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION. On return to school, collect an “Illness, Accident or Misadventure Application” form from the Deputy Principal and submit it with your doctor’s certificate to the Deputy Principal within 48 hours of your return to school. You must also contact the teacher or Head Teacher of the faculty on the first day of the absence (9747 3355).

a) Medical certificates/other documentation MUST be issued by a qualified medical practitioner, preferably your family doctor or specialist.

b) The certificate/document should clearly state the nature of the condition/circumstance and how this might be expected to affect your performance. Doctors’ certificates must state a detailed reason for inability to attend and/or complete the task.

c) The certificate/document should also cover the ENTIRE PERIOD OF YOUR ABSENCE. For example, if you are absent on the day of the task, the day before and the day after as well, your certificate/document must cover all three days.

d) The school reserves the right to check all certificates/documentation submitted and will on occasion make contact with the doctor/s concerned. Copies of all medical certificates will be given to the deputy principal.


7. Cheating or Malpractice

All assessment tasks must be: a) YOUR OWN ORIGINAL WORK. You cannot submit a task which is the same as another

student’s task. You may work on a task with a friend, relative, etc but the final copy must be in your own words, ie it must be YOUR OWN INTERPRETATION of the task. Failure to comply with this will lead to the award of a ZERO MARK.

b) Completed in the current assessment period. You may not hand in a task or part of a task completed for another assignment in this or previous years. 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 consultation with the class teacher will establish that malpractice has occurred. Parents/guardians will be advised in writing.

8. Reviews and Appeals

Any complaints about assessment procedure should be made in the first place to the classroom teacher. Further appeals may be made to the Head Teacher of the appropriate faculty and then to the school’s review panel. The request for review must be made within three days of the issue of assessment ranks. The way marks were awarded by the teacher for assessment tasks will not be subject to review. The school review panel will consist of the Principal or Deputy Principal, the Head Teacher concerned, and one other Head Teacher. The Year Adviser may act as student advocate in these cases. A student who is dissatisfied with the school’s review procedures may appeal to NESA.

9. Information and Advice

Advice on assessment is available from: - The Deputy Principal - The Head Teacher of the Faculty concerned - Your classroom teacher - The Careers Adviser - The Year Adviser

Information is located: - NESA documents – with the Principal or Deputy Principal - NESA website – www.nesa.nsw.edu.au - Rules and Procedures for Higher School Certificate Candidates - NESA booklet issued to

each student - School Assessment Policy - HSC Assessment Policy and Procedures – spare copies with the Year Adviser and Deputy

Principal and on school website - Faculty Assessment Program – with the Faculty concerned; copy with the Principal

Vocational Education and Training (VET): Students have three opportunities to successfully complete a competency or cluster assessment task. If a student wishes to appeal a decision they must:

1. first obtain a copy of the Student Assessment Appeal form for VET courses

2. then follow the school review and appeals process.

Sample letter: Official Warning of ‘N’ Determination (HSC)

Dear ………………………………………..………,

Re: OFFICIAL WARNING – Non-completion of a Higher School Certificate Course. I am writing to advise that your daughter ………………………………………. is in danger of not meeting the

Course Completion Criteria for the Higher School Certificate in ………………………………………….

NESA requires schools to issue students with official warnings in order to give them the opportunity to redeem

themselves. Please regard this letter as the ……… official warning we have issued concerning ……………………………….. A minimum of two course-specific warnings must be issued prior to a final ‘N’ determination being made for a course. Course Completion Criteria Where it is determined that a student has not met the Course Completion Criteria, they place themselves at risk of receiving an ‘N’ (non-completion of course) determination. An ‘N’ determination will mean that the course will not be listed on the student's Record of Achievement. In Year 12, students must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks that 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. To date, ………………………………………… has not satisfactorily met …….. of the Course Completion Criteria*. The following table lists those tasks, requirements or outcomes not yet completed or achieved, and/or for which a genuine attempt has not been made. In order for ……………………………………. to satisfy the Course Completion Criteria, the following tasks, requirements or outcomes need to be satisfactorily completed/achieved.

Task Name/ Course Requirement/

Course Outcome

Date Task Initially Due

(if applicable) Action Required by Student

Date to be Completed By (if

applicable)

*Course Completion Criteria The satisfactory completion of a course requires principals to have sufficient evidence that the student has:

a) followed the course developed or endorsed by NESA; and b) applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the

course by the school; and c) achieved some or all of the course outcomes.

CUA30415 Certificate III in Live Production Services

180 indicative hours- VET Course

HSC COURSE 2019

VET courses allow students to gain both HSC or RoSA qualifications and a qualification recognised throughout Australia as part of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). These qualifications are widely recognised by industry, employers and tertiary training providers and universities, and will assist students to move to various education and training sectors and employment.

Vocational Education courses involve: Dual accreditation – the curriculum framework includes courses which are accredited for the HSC (4 Preliminary and/or HSC units in total) and provides students with the opportunity to obtain nationally recognised vocational qualifications (CUA30415 Certificate III in Live Production Services). Work placement – a mandatory component of VET courses is 70 hours of structured work placement. 35 hours of work placement must be completed externally and 35 hours of work placement must be completed internally. Students must complete all work placement hours to be awarded the HSC credential. Practical work – approximately 1/3 of the course work involves practical experiences undertaken in the classroom and in an industry setting. It is important that students are prepared for each lesson and are vigilant in their attendance so that all requirements are met. Method of Assessment Entertainment assessment in Years 11 and 12 is competency based with continual and ongoing assessment throughout the year.

This means that a student is assessed on their performance of knowledge or skills, which is required by industry standards.

Competency based assessment is largely activity-based and practical. However, competency also implies that an individual displays an understanding of the knowledge, which underpins the practical performance. A student is deemed competent when they: • carry out the task to an acceptable industry standard • organise and manage a range of different tasks • respond appropriately to a breakdown in routine • apply existing knowledge and skills to new situations • use communication and interpersonal skills that suit the work environment. Students have the opportunity to attempt a task a reasonable number of times in order to fulfil the requirements of a competency. Students may need to arrange a suitable time outside of normal class time to complete competency tasks.
