STAGE 5

Assessment Guidelines

2017

As at February 2017

ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES STAGE 5

What is Assessment? Assessment is used to determine the progress of students and to help the development of teaching and learning programs to meet the needs of students. At Sarah Redfern High School teachers regularly assess students work on an informal basis to aid the learning process. Teachers keep records of the data gathered in grade books, comments, observations and work sample collections to help inform parents and guide the learning process for students. Students also benefit from regular written and verbal feedback on their performance and how they can improve. The formal assessment process encompasses the syllabus outcomes and allows the teacher to report to all stakeholders. Assessment methods consist of a variety of measurement instruments designed to improve the overall measurement of student performance in each course. Assessment Guidelines At the beginning of Stage 5, students will be issued with this Stage 5 Assessment Guidelines Booklet which is designed to provide an overall picture of the assessment requirements for each course offered in Stage 5. Each subject should have a clear overview of the content to be covered throughout the cycle; the following assessment information will be included: i. Overview of courses of work detailing content to be delivered each term and formatively assessed.

ii. Overview of Major Assessment Task and due date. This form of summative assessment will follow the

procedures used in Stage 6 with students being given a minimum of two weeks’ notice and penalties imposed for any student who fails to hand in the task by the due date

iii. Details of the Yearly Examination period. The examination practice will follow the procedures used in

Stage 6 with students being given a minimum of two weeks’ notice and penalties imposed for any student who does not sit for the Yearly Examination

What must students do? The Board of Studies and Sarah Redfern High School expect students to complete all Stage 5 coursework. Furthermore, students must:

• make a serious attempt at all coursework and avoid any behaviour which disrupts the learning environment of the class

• complete all coursework honestly and avoid any malpractices such a cheating or plagiarism • submit any requested coursework to their classroom teacher • inform their teachers in advance if they know they are going to be absent for the coursework • collect a submission record for their Major Assessment Tasks from their classroom teacher • ensure they have a current copy of their Assessment Guidelines for each course being studied • discuss any matters in advance (with their teachers) which may impact of the quality of their course

work or assessment work

3

Non-satisfactory progress Students who are unable to demonstrate the outcomes of a course may not satisfy the requirements and therefore may not be eligible for the next stage of the course which may affect their Record of Student Achievement (RoSA) eligibility in a particular course. Refer to page 55 for more information on the RoSA. Any coursework not completed at the scheduled time or failure to submit the Major Assessment Task by the due date will result in assessable outcomes not being achieved at that time. An N-warning letter regarding the student’s deficient progress or application in the course will then be prepared immediately and sent to the Parents/Guardians. In the case of illness and/or misadventure, students who not able to submit the Major Assessment Task by the due date or fail to complete the Yearly Examination must submit a medical certificate together with a completed Illness, Accident or Misadventure Appeal Form to the relevant executive on the first day they return to school. An Illness, Accident or Misadventure Appeal Form can be found in the Appendix to this booklet. Students submitting an Illness, Accident or Misadventure Appeal Form may be: • asked to complete the Major Assessment Task/Yearly Examination • be given an alternate task or • be given an estimated grade, where sufficient data already exists on the outcomes being assessed

Students who fail to complete assessable coursework or a Major Assessment Task through non-submission of the work, non-serious attempt, truancy or refusal to participate will be deemed not to have achieved assessable outcomes at that point in time. An N-warning letter regarding the student’s deficient progress or application in the course will then be prepared immediately and sent to the Parents/Guardians. Students are then required to complete all work indicated in this warning letter. If a student fails to meet the requirements of two or more warning letters in the same course they are then at risk of a N-determination for that course. N-Determinations N-determinations are issued for the non-completion of requirements in a course. The N-determination process for Stage 5 students is unchanged from previous years. N-warning letters will be issued to students who are in danger of not meeting course completion criteria. N-warnings should be given in time for the problem to be corrected and should provide advice about the consequences of an N-determination in a course. Students who have not complied with the requirements for satisfactory completion of a course at the time of finalising grades cannot be regarded as having satisfactorily completed the course. The Principal will then issue them with an N-determination. All students who are issued with an N-determination have the right to appeal against the Principal’s determination. Where a student fails to satisfactorily complete a mandatory Stage 5 course, the student may be ineligible to enter Stage 6 and the Preliminary (Year 11) course of study.

4

Successful Completion of Stage 5 For the RoSA to indicate successful completion of Stage 5, a student must have: • undertaken and completed courses of study that satisfy the Board of Studies curriculum and assessment

requirements for the Record of School Achievement • completed Stage 5 by satisfying all course requirements • made a serious attempt at the set coursework, Major Assessment Task(s) and Yearly Examination, and • complied with any other regulations or requirements (such as attendance) imposed by the Minister of

Education or the Board of Studies • complied with any other regulations or requirements (such as 85% attendance) imposed by the Sarah

Redfern High School

We encourage you to refer to page 55 of this booklet for more information on the RoSA.

Communications

This is a practical course that focuses on the basics of modern Communications, including a hands-on experience of publishing, event management, public speaking and public relations. Activities are designed to be practical, engaging and rich to ensure that students develop an understanding of the complex nature of communications in the world around them. A core focus is to encourage students to manipulate language for strategic purposes, dependent upon their context and audience. Being responsible for real events and communications, students learn to appreciate the importance of planning, organisation & goal setting as productive tools. Working collaboratively throughout the course, students become increasingly accountable and active as individuals and team-members in order to meet goals and deadlines.

Timeline Communications Term 1 Publishing & the Media – A Study in Collaboration

Students are provided with an introduction to the vast landscape of Australian media and publishing processes. Students will develop an awareness of ways in which to effectively communicate depending upon audience, purpose and context. Encouraging discussion and collaboration with peers, students will critically evaluate the purpose and effectiveness of a range of local media with a view to actively contributing to school media.

Term 2 Event Management – A Study in Logistics

Students are introduced to the world of event management from a hands-on, practical perspective. By coordinating and implementing real school events from the conceptual planning stage through to bump-in and bump-out, students learn the value of time-management, budgets, resource allocation and even creative contingencies.

Term 3 Public Speaking – a Study in Confidence

Students expand on their understanding of speech-writing and delivery they have experienced in their Stage 4 and 5 English courses. Focusing on the Manner, Method and Matter of speeches, students will sharpen their understanding of effective speaking and their own confidence through practical drama, debating, speaking and reflective activities.

Term 4 Public Relations – A study in influence

Following their experience of more explicit communication strategies, students will explore the subtle and behind- the-scenes operations of Public Relations. Based in theory and informed by current case studies, students will learn an appreciation of persuasive mechanisms in order to influence specific audiences according to particular contexts and purposes.

Communications involves a focus on using ICT and peer collaboration to deliver the outcomes for this course.

Critical Studies This course is academic in nature whereby students will explore the art of argument through an engaging introduction to ethics, sociology, psychology and philosophy. This course provides an excellent taster for students interested in the humanities and will encourage challenging, intellectual thinking. Activities have been designed to broaden students’ understanding of their world and the complexities they face within it. While acquiring an increasing awareness of the need to consider opposing viewpoint, individual and groups tasks are designed to develop students’ capacity to respond to challenging philosophies in an increasingly sophisticated manner. A combination of Project Based Learning and Extended Response activities are integrated into programs to encourage students to become increasingly adept with research and familiar with referencing protocols.

Timeline Critical Studies Term 1 Ethics – A Study in Decision-Making

What is the RoSA?

The Record of School Achievement (RoSA) is the credential for students who leave school at the completion of Stage 5 and before they receive their Higher School Certificate (HSC). The RoSA is cumulative record of all academic achievement. To summarise:

- The RoSA is designed to record and credential all of a secondary school student’s academic results up until the HSC.

- The RoSA will detail grades for courses a student completes right up until the time they leave school. - If a student leaves school before receiving a grade in Year 11 or Year 12 courses, their RoSA will record the

courses they commenced. - This measure acknowledges the fact that some students begin senior secondary study but then leave school

for employment or other training opportunities before receiving their HSC.

Is it the same as the former School Certificate?

The eligibility requirements for the RoSA are essentially unchanged from the School Certificate, except for the deletion of the School Certificate tests. Requirements relating to curriculum, school attendance and the completion of Year 10 are identical to those that previously applied for the School Certificate.

What is the RoSA actually made up of?

The RoSA will contain the following information:

- Stage 5 courses listed in a sequence consisting of English, Mathematics, Science, Australian Geography, Australian History, followed by other Board Developed Courses and then Board Endorsed Courses in alphabetical order with the student’s grade shown to the right of each course.

- All mandatory curriculum requirements (ie English, Mathematics, Science, HSIE, Languages, Technology, Music, Visual Arts, PDHPE) listed under a separate heading with an indication of completion by the student.

- A statement that the student is eligible for the award of a Record of School Achievement. - VET courses will be recorded as ‘Completed’ with the footnote Refer to Vocational Documentation. - Courses based on Life Skills outcomes and content will be recorded as ‘Completed’ with the footnote See

Profile of Student Achievement.
