Assessments at Oakhill College NSW Education of Standards Authority (NESA) Requirements
SUMMARY NESA Requirements for Year 12 – Higher School Certificate (HSC) The award of the Higher School Certificate through individual courses completed during Stage 6 (Years 11 – 12) is dependent upon a student being deemed as having completed specified courses of study over two years. Completion of a course is defined in terms of Assessment Tasks and student participation as specified below. Students must complete a minimum of 12 Units in the Preliminary Year and 10 Units in the HSC Year. Satisfactory Completion of a Course – Course Completion Criteria A student will be considered to 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 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. The Principal is required to certify, in writing, that each student has satisfactorily completed all course completion criteria. Whilst NESA does not mandate attendance requirements, the Principal may determine that, as a result of absence, the course completion criteria may not be met. Clearly, absences will be regarded seriously by the Principal who will give students early warning of the consequences of such absences. The College follows the legislation introduced in 2015 that, any family holiday taken during term time will be counted as absence and that a Certificate of Exemption no longer applies to family holidays/travel taken during term time. An Application for Extended Leave is to be lodged by a parent/guardian directly to the Principal with all relative supporting documentation. The Application for Extended Leave must be submitted to the Principal by the parent/guardian two weeks prior the requested travel period. If the reason for requesting leave is within the requirements of the Education Act, and are in the student’s best academic interests, the Principal may grant the leave. The College will record granted leave as ‘L’ in Sentral and a Certificate of Extended Leave will be issued and sent to the parents/guardians. If the principal does not grant leave the absence will be recorded as an ‘A’ in Sentral and the parents/guardians will be notified. All leave documentation is kept on the student’s file. In the case of Certificate of Extended leave, the original must be kept by the parents/guardians. The College Policy on Leave can be accessed: http://www.oakhill.nsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Policy-30-Student-Attendance-Policy.pdf ‘N’ Determination - Subject of Written Report If at any time it appears that a student is at risk of being given an 'N' Determination in any course the Principal will warn the student as soon as possible and advise the parent or guardian in writing. This warning will be given in time for the problem to be addressed. Students who have not complied with the above requirements cannot be regarded as having satisfactorily completed one or more courses. The Principal will then apply the 'N' Determination. Students who have received an 'N' determination have a right of appeal.
Year 12 Assessment Schedule 2020 Page 5
Assessment Guidelines
NESA has made a number of policy decisions on the manner in which Assessments will be administered and monitored and has established provisions for certain extraordinary events. Communication to Students A mandatory requirement is that students should know: ● WHAT is being assessed ● HOW it will be assessed ● WHEN it will be assessed ● THE RELATIVE VALUE of each TASK in the overall Assessment program This booklet (Assessment Policy & Schedules 2020) provided to each student satisfies this requirement. Individual subjects may provide additional information, depending on the nature of the task, closer to the actual task. Non-Completion of Assessment Tasks In order to have studied a Board of Studies course satisfactorily, the Board expects each candidate to have completed ALL Assessment Tasks. Notwithstanding the Principal's prerogative with respect to Illness and/or Misadventure, in all other cases where a student fails to complete an Assessment Task, a 'zero' mark must be recorded for that task. Where a candidate has been given 'zero' marks because of failure to complete Assessment Tasks totalling 50% or more of the final course Assessment mark, the Principal must certify that the course has not been studied satisfactorily. A candidate who does not study a course satisfactorily, will not have an assessment mark reported. Assessment Tasks Must Be Student’s Own Work The purpose of the assessment procedure is to reward students for their individual efforts over the duration of the
assessment period. Thus, it is essential that the assessment be the student’s own individual effort, not that of others.
Therefore, with designated assessment tasks such as home assignments and research tasks, students may be
required to sign a statement that the work is, in fact, all their own work. If, at a subsequent date, the work is found to
be not all their own, a mark of zero may be recorded for the assignment. Further, students who lend their work are
jeopardising the marks they have gained and their rank position.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING
ASSESSMENT IN VET COURSES The Vocational Education and Training Courses offered for the 2020 HSC year are Business Services, Construction, Entertainment, Hospitality and Primary Industries. These courses deliver dual qualifications for the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and for the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and as a result, each has dual assessment systems. The first is standards-referenced assessment (HSC) and the second is competency-based assessment (AQF). STANDARDS REFERENCED ASSESSMENT The marking of the HSC examination is standards referenced as is the marking of the practice HSC Examination in Term 3. This internal exam provides students with an opportunity to practise their exam technique in the lead up to the HSC exam. The Trial Exam mark is also sent to NESA the ‘HSC Estimate Mark.’ This mark will only be used by NESA if a student makes an Illness or Misadventure Appeal to NESA for the HSC examination. A schedule of internal standards referenced assessment tasks and examinations, is set out below for 2020:
Course All VET courses
Task Task 1
Name Trial HSC Examination
Date Term 3 Week 5 & 6
Units Assessed Only units assessed in the HSC examination are examinable in the Trial HSC exam. Ensure you look at the syllabus and talk to your teacher for a list of these units.
Weighting for Reports
100% Semester 2
First place in course is based on performance in the Trial HSC Examination and overall competency achievement and application. The HSC Examination is optional, however students must complete the HSC Examination Withdrawal Form and give it to their teacher. Only one VET Framework course can contribute to the calculation of the ATAR.
Year 12 Assessment Schedule 2020 Page 51
COMPETENCY-BASED ASSESSMENT VET courses are competency-based. This means that a student’s performance is judged against a prescribed standard contained in each unit of competency, not against the performance of other students. Students in VET courses must assume that they are being constantly assessed in both formal and informal contexts. VET subjects are assessed on a continuous basis, even informally through observation over a period of time. During the two-year course the teacher will gather information and make judgments about a student’s achievement. When a task, assignment, test or practical is administered the student will be judged as either competent or not yet competent. This judgment is made on the basis of a range of evidence, which may be in a variety of forms. The forms may include: assignments, simulated work environments, portfolios of evidence, observation, questioning and practical tasks. Students can expect to be instructed over a period of time and then assessed using a variety of different methods. Competency-based assessment focuses on the requirements of the workplace. Competence incorporates all aspects of work performance, including problem-solving and the capacity to apply knowledge and skills in both familiar and new situations. Assessment of competence involves the assessment of skills and knowledge combined. As such, an integrated or holistic approach to assessment is adopted. This means that a number of elements of competency or even several units of competency are assessed together. To achieve an AQF VET Certificate or Statement of Attainment, a student must be assessed as competent according to the requirements set out in the national Training Package. Any student that is deemed not yet competent in a task needs to undertake an additional form of assessment to demonstrate competence, otherwise they will not complete all the qualifications for their competency task. Students are given additional opportunities to demonstrate competence. REMEMBER: In competency-based assessments you are either competent or not yet competent. Students in need of further training can ask to be re-assessed but such re-assessment must consider deadlines for internal and external reporting. A schedule of assessment tasks follows. The tasks, outcomes and the timing of these may be modified according to student needs and course requirements. The majority of assessment occurs towards the final weeks of the module being delivered, with the exception of some practical coursework which accumulates ongoing evidence through the module. As a result, this assessment schedule should only be used as a guide.

WORK PLACEMENT Work placement is mandatory and allows students to apply the theory and practical skills learnt in class. Some competencies will also be assessed in the workplace. Students will be going out on their second work placement during Term 4 2020 Students wishing to self-source had to submit the required paperwork by the 11th September 2020. Students who did not undertake this, must select from the opportunities provided by Youth Connections. Failure to complete the work placement component of their VET course will result in the student receiving an ‘N’ (unsatisfactory) award for that subject. Students must complete a minimum of 70 hours of work placement over the two years, otherwise they will not receive their HSC, with the exception of Fitness which requires a minimum of 30 hours. Wherever possible their VET teacher will visit them and speak with their employer at some stage during their placement, as part of the work placement assessment. Being on work placement is not an excuse for missing or being late to hand in a ‘take home’ assessment task. Work placement dates are known well in advance, students need to ensure they have made any necessary arrangements. Students must make alternative arrangements with their teacher if any ‘in class’ assessment activities occur whilst they are on work placement. Students must also catch-up on all work missed in their other classes. Students must complete and submit all paperwork regarding work placement ON TIME to confirm their place and avoid losing the placement to another student or school. Students can use their current casual employment for work placement if it is directly related to the subject. An ‘Application for Recognition of Prior Learning’ must be obtained from their VET teacher and completed by the student and their employer. The Leader of Learning VET will assess the application and students will be informed as to the success of their application. Absences from work placement MUST be reported to the employer, the Leader of Learning VET and to the school. In the case of illness a medical certificate must be produced upon returning to school and any hours lost in the workplace will be made up at another time. Students must return their completed Work Placement Journal on their first day of return to school. Failure to return the report will place your HSC in jeopardy as it is proof as to how many hours were completed. APPEALS If you disagree with the outcome of an assessment because you believe that you have met the standards for performance (benchmarks), you have the right to appeal. You must ask for a review as soon as possible after receiving your result. You should take the following steps:
● Speak to the teacher who assessed your work. ● If you are not satisfied with your discussion with the teacher, then make an appointment to speak to the
Leader of Learning VET (LOLVET) and bring your task with you. ● The LOLVET will discuss your concerns with you. ● A joint meeting will be arranged between you, the teacher and the LOL VET so that your concerns and
those of the teacher can be addressed. ● The result of this meeting may be: ● A revised assessment by the teacher; ● A new assessment task for part of the disputed task; or ● A full assessment task to be completed in place of the disputed task. ● If you are still dissatisfied, you will need to speak to the Director of Student Learning.
