INTRODUCTION This booklet outlines procedures relating to assessment in the Higher School Certificate courses. Information relating to the Assessment Tasks for each course has been provided. Students and parents are advised to read the booklet closely and keep it as a point of reference throughout the year. For the award of a Higher School Certificate, the NSW Educational Standards Authority (NESA) requires that internal assessments are undertaken in all courses.

ASSESSMENT TASKS

Assessment is a process of gathering information about student achievement at various stages in the HSC courses. Schools use a variety of tasks to assess performance across a range of syllabus outcomes. The nature of tasks vary within and across courses – they include assignments, fieldwork and reports, oral presentations, tests and exams, portfolios, practical investigations, long term pieces of work and performances. Each task in a course is given a weighting (percentage of the total) based on syllabus requirements. Most courses have between three and five assessment tasks and for many the Trial HSC has the greatest weighting. A student’s final assessment mark in a course is derived from the weighted accumulation of these internal assessment tasks. It is a numerical measure of what a student knows, understands and can do in that course. Assessment is standards referenced – achievement is assessed against the standards specified in a course. Generally, the specific details of each assessment task are given to students in writing at least two weeks before the task is due. As part of the learning process, students need to prepare themselves as well as possible for all aspects of assessment. If a student returns to school after an absence, it is his responsibility to check with teachers whether an assessment task was issued. It is advisable to keep all assessment information including calendars prominently displayed in a home study area. In some instances, assessment tasks may be prepared on a computer and printed for submission. Unfortunately, technology and particularly printers can break down at the most inopportune times. Faulty equipment is not an acceptable excuse for late submission. This also applies to printing (ink and toner shortages) as facilities are available via the school library network for printing hardcopies of assessments. Students should make regular backup copies of files, print their working drafts and keep drafts in order to support their work in case of late final submission. As with all assessment and homework enquiries, students should consult with the class teacher in the first instance. Any foreseeable problems should be addressed as soon as possible.

SUBMITTING ASSESSMENT TASKS Assignment-type tasks must be handed personally to the class teacher at the beginning of the appropriate subject period on the specified day. If no period for the subject is timetabled for that day, the task must be given to the teacher, or in the case of his or her absence, to the relevant KLA Coordinator before the first period on the specified day. Students should ALWAYS refer to the specific task notification when preparing a submission. An assessment task submitted later on the day than the timetabled period for that subject will be regarded as one day late and will attract a penalty. It is the student’s responsibility to submit an assessment task on time.

SICKNESS, EMERGENCY OR MISADVENTURE In all such cases, a telephone call to the Year Coordinator is expected. If the assessment task can be delivered to the class teacher on time by a parent or other person acting on your behalf, that too is appropriate and helpful. Please refer to each specific notification in relation to electronic submissions of hand-in- tasks. If it is not possible to submit an assessment task on the set date due to illness, boys are to present the task, along with a Medical Certificate and parent or guardian note on their return to school. All three items should be presented to the relevant KLAC coordinator before school starts on the day of the student’s return. In the case of an absence due to an emergency or misadventure, the same process is to be followed and a signed letter of explanation is submitted rather than a Medical Certificate. Students absent on the day of an in-class assessment task or examination are to see the Course Teacher or KLA Coordinator as soon as possible on their return to school. A Medical Certificate (in the case of illness) and a parent note are to be presented to the KLA Coordinator. In such instances, an estimate will be awarded to the student. However, the College reserves the right to set a substitute. Alternatively, the student may be asked to complete the original task. There will be no penalty imposed if the above procedure is followed. To arrive at school with no Medical Certificate and then to bring one on a subsequent day is not acceptable. Students suffering from an illness of more than one or two days or with a serious problem affecting their ability to submit an assessment task on time should apply to the KLA Coordinator for an extension. The appropriate form is available at the back of this booklet. Students experiencing a prolonged absence must maintain contact with the Year Coordinator in order to follow the relevant school procedures. Students with approved leave must make alternate arrangements with the course teacher and relevant KLA Coordinator. Unapproved leave during assessment tasks will result in a mark of zero.

EXTENSIONS

An extension of time can be applied for using the appropriate form at the back of this booklet. The request is to be made to the relevant KLA Coordinator at least three days before the due date for the assessment task. Late applications for an extension will be considered if special circumstances exist. Grounds for extension include:

1. Illness or valid injury (Doctor’s Certificate must be provided) 2. Severe family disruption (Parent/Guardian letter of explanation must be provided and the College may ask for further

documentation on a case-by-case basis.) 3. Student involvement in an official school function 4. At the discretion of the Headmaster

LATE SUBMISSION A penalty will apply for any late submission of an assessment task not covered in the above set of circumstances. Students will lose 20% of the mark normally awarded for every day late (for example, the loss of 80% of the mark awarded if a student submits work 4 days late). In this context, “day” means calendar day; for example, a piece of work due on a Friday and submitted on the following Monday is three days late. In most instances, parents will be notified of penalties incurred due to the late submission of work. A student will have a zero recorded for work submitted 5 or more days late. Students are expected to submit all assessment tasks, even in cases where a zero mark will be recorded. Students must complete HSC assessment tasks that contribute in excess of 50% of the available marks in a course. Consistent failure to submit assessment tasks could result in failure to satisfy NESA requirements and a subsequent “N” (Non-completion) determination for the course. An N-determination in one course may place a student’s entire HSC and/or ATAR at risk. Boys at risk of receiving an N-determination will be sent a warning letter from the KLA Coordinator. Students failing to respond to a warning letter will need to attend an interview with their parents/guardians and the Director of Learning as well as the Headmaster. All students who receive an “N” determination for a course will be informed of the consequences and their right to appeal (a School Review or NESA appeal and the relevant procedures.)

UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR BEFORE OR DURING A TASK Any form of dishonesty in completing an assessment task, such as cheating, assisting someone to cheat or plagiarising (using other people’s work without acknowledgement) will result in no marks being recorded. Students found to have actively advantaged themselves by missing lessons or whole school days prior to assessment tasks without a valid reason (Medical certificate) may be awarded a zero for the task.

Students found plagiarising will be awarded a zero and will need to resubmit work in order to fulfill course requirements. Plagiarism includes presenting words and ideas of others as if they were your own; copying sections from books, articles, websites and other media without properly acknowledging the author; and paraphrasing (changing a passage into your own words) when the author of the original works is not acknowledged. Copying from other students and presenting it as your own is also plagiarism.

ASSESSMENT INFORMATION The date of an assessment task can be changed if school circumstances make it advisable. In such cases, boys will be given reasonable written notice of the change (usually at least two weeks). Students are awarded a mark for each assessment task. The final assessment mark, as submitted to NESA, must not be given to students. A boy’s mark for any task is confidential. It is not given to other students. Students receive information about their ranks for most tasks. A student’s overall (cumulative) rank in a subject is available from the relevant KLAC at any time. The cumulative ranks in courses are included on the Semester One and Semester Two Reports. Students can query a mark for an assessment task only at the time the task is returned. In the first instance, students should seek resolution with the course teacher who may refer the matter to the KLA Coordinator. Matters that are not resolved must be raised with the Director of Learning within five days of the task being returned to the student. Students see their Homeroom Teachers every day. Homeroom teachers can help with planning a study timetable and providing advice on time management for students experiencing trouble adjusting to the assessment routine. The Year Coordinator is the person to go to when a problem seems serious. Year Coordinators work on the student’s behalf with KLA Coordinators and the Director of Learning. The Careers Adviser can help with subject choice and subject information in the context of careers and can provide data about requirements for University or TAFE entrance.

GRIEVANCE & APPEALS

Concerns may arise from time to time about aspects of a course. It may be about resources, facilities, another person, an assessment task or an assessment result. A grievance is any type of problem, and may be about an act, omission, situation or decision you feel is unfair, discriminatory or unjustified. Initially, you should speak to the teacher involved. If the situation is not resolved to your satisfaction at this point, you should consult your homeroom teacher, relevant KLA Coordinator or your Year coordinator.

The following procedure should be followed:

i) Try to clarify and resolve the situation with the person involved. ii) Seek assistance from your teacher or the relevant coordinator. You may have to put your complaint in writing. iii) Ask for a meeting with your teacher and the Coordinator or in the case of more serious matters, the Director of Learning or Deputy Principal. Notes will generally be taken and agreed to at the end of the meeting. iv) If a satisfactory resolution cannot be achieved, then the Headmaster must be contacted to bring about a resolution. All procedures are consistent with the NESA requirements.

VET SUBJECTS Assessment in the VET courses will involve students demonstrating their key competencies and skills through task based assessment. Competency is judged on the basis of student performance against the specified criteria for each element. If a student is judged “not yet competent” against the performance criteria, the student will have two additional opportunities available to them in which to achieve “competent” status. Students failing to demonstrate “competence” on the three available opportunities may request further opportunities through appeal.

VET ASSESSMENT APPEAL

Any student who has been unable to meet the performance criteria may request an appeal and review by applying the following procedure: i) Speak to the teacher who assessed your work. ii) If you are not satisfied with your discussion with the teacher, then make an appointment to speak to the course (VET) coordinator. iii) A joint meeting will be arranged between you, the teacher and the VET Coordinator to address your concerns and those of the teacher. The

result of this meeting may be:

A revised assessment by the teacher.

A new assessment task to replace part of the disputed task.

A new assessment task to replace all disputed task.

No change to the original result. The complaint or appeal and the outcome of the appeal will be kept on file. Both the student and teacher will receive a written statement of the appeal outcomes including reasons for the decision. If a school’s policy and procedures for dealing with a complaint made by a student or parent concerning a vocational HSC course is unable to achieve a resolution, the Catholic Education Office, Sydney as RTO must be contacted to assist in bringing about a final resolution.

All complaints will be dealt with in a private, confidential and timely manner.

Enough time will be allocated to hear the complaint, without judgement.

Discussion will be held with the complainant about how to arrive at a solution to the problem.

If necessary, further investigation will be carried out, with record of action kept.

The complainant will receive a written statement of appeal outcome, including reasons for the decision.

MARCELLIN COLLEGE RANDWICK Referencing and Bibliographies Policy All educational institutions require a formalised standard of presentation and acknowledgement of sources of information used in completing an assignment.

It is unethical to submit work as your own that has been copied from someone else’s material. This is called plagiarism. All material should be placed in your own language and terms, remembering to state the source of your material in a bibliography. Marcellin College Randwick’s Policy from Year 7 through to Year 12 is that if a student has plagiarised, then an automatic zero will be given to the entire task. This may seem an extreme measure but is consistent with most educational institutions. As a guide of how to reference your work and make use of a Bibliography the following should be most useful: HOW TO REFERENCE The HARVARD system is a commonly used form of academic referencing. In the Harvard system, the name of the author(s), the date of publication of the text, and the page number are included directly after the quote. Quotation marks are used to enclose the exact words from a text. Example: “Dehydration results in a decrease in skilled performance, which can lead to injury as well as poor performance.” (Cross, Gibbs, Gray, 1991, p131) A BIBLIOGRAPHY When using the Harvard system, the resources used in your research are listed in a Bibliography at the end of your paper. The resources are listed in alphabetical order. The resources may include books, journal articles, videos, CD’s, and Internet sources. Examples: One Author Simpson, W. 1987. Adolescence Across Cultures. Penguin Melbourne Multiple Authors Cross, M., Gibbs. N and Gray, J.1991.The Sporting Body. McGraw Hill, Sydney Editor James, P. (Ed) 1989. New Directors in Economics. Melbourne University Press, Melbourne. Articles Mathews, P.1991. “The Australian Family Today” in Journal of Sociology, Vol.19, 559-578 Videos Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Crawford Productions. 1984. Alcohol and Alcoholics. Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Melbourne Internet Smith, B. 1996. Management Structure and Efficiency. [Online, accessed 9 Mar.1996] www.neal.ctstateu.edu/management/cite.html
