Message from the Principal This booklet has been prepared by the staff of St. Joseph’s Regional College to inform parents and students of the Assessment Scheme applicable to the Higher School Certificate Course. It is a reflection of the current assessment policy and procedure throughout New South Wales in general, and St. Joseph’s Regional College, in particular. The booklet also details, course by course, the means by which each course will arrive at its final Student Assessment Mark. "The Assessment Scheme for HSC Courses is intended to provide an indication of a student's attainment of a wider range of syllabus outcomes other than is measured by the single HSC examination, though it must cover all the outcomes measured by the examination. The Assessment allows due weight to be given during a course to student achievement which although evident to the class teacher, may not be adequately assessed in a single external examination". (Board of Studies). Each Course Assessment Schedule will identify: • The components to be assessed in the course • The weightings for each component in the course • The type of assessment task (e.g. exam, essay, fieldwork) • The mark value of each task in relation to the total number of tasks for the course. In other words, students should make it their business to know: • what is to be assessed; • how it will be assessed; • when it will be assessed; • the relative value of each task. Assessment is an ongoing process at St. Joseph’s Regional College. The HSC Course will be assessed regularly, using a variety of assessment instruments. Students are reminded of the importance of all work set during Year 12 - not only major Assessment Tasks - in order to perform adequately in their course of study. Other class-based assessment tasks provide excellent preparation for HSC Assessment Tasks and external examinations. They are subsequently regarded as important learning strategies. As indicated to students previously, their Assessment Mark submitted to the Board of Studies will be moderated on the basis of the performance of the cohort in the external examination, so poor HSC examination marks will lower the Assessment Mark. This booklet also clearly states the separate responsibilities of the College and the student. These responsibilities should be read carefully and understood because of the significant implications they have for each student's HSC results. Any questions regarding specific aspects of this Assessment Policy should be directed, in the first instance, to the class teacher concerned, and then to the Leader of Curriculum if necessary. I hope you make productive use of your time, and wish you every success in your senior studies at St. Joseph’s Regional College. I look forward to working with you on this very important journey.
Mrs Anne O’Brien Principal. Page 4
Summary of the Board of Studies Policies, Requirements and Procedures 1. The Higher School Certificate • •
will be awarded at the completion of Year 12; indicates that a student has satisfactorily completed Senior Secondary Education according to Board of Studies Requirements.
At the end of Year 12, students will receive an attractive and durable portfolio, designed to contain the the Higher School Certificate, records of Achievement, school reports, references and other awards. Eligibility The Higher School Certificate will be awarded to Year 12 students who have satisfactorily studied the required pattern of courses. This includes at least two units of a Board-determined course in English, and at least eight other units. Students must also have met assessment requirements and have presented for the HSC examinations. Requirements The required 10 units must include: • at least 6 units of Board-developed courses (courses for which the Board itself sets the syllabuses and the examination); • at least 2 units of a Board-developed course in English; • at least 3 courses of 2 units value or greater; • at least four subjects. Measuring achievements This is done by: • school assessments throughout each course, based on set tasks, which may include assignments, projects and tests; • the Higher School Certificate examination itself, which measures performance under examination conditions. Credentials On completion of the HSC Course each student will receive: • the Higher School Certificate testamur • Record of Achievement This will list all courses satisfactorily completed and will be awarded to: • students who receive the Higher School Certificate; • students who do not qualify for the Higher School Certificate but who otherwise complete Year 12; • students who satisfactorily complete Year 11. For each Board-developed HSC course, the Record of Achievement in Year 12 will indicate: • the course name; • the year in which it was successfully completed; • a scaled examination mark for each Board-developed course; • an assessment mark for each course (which is moderated for Board-developed courses); • HSC Mark (the average of the exam mark and assessment mark); • a performance band – determined by the HSC mark.
Page 5
Course Reports are issued to students for every Board Developed HSC course (except for Life Skills courses and VET courses) they present in a year. The single page Course Report indicates the name of the course, the assessment mark and the examination mark, the course performance scale (including the band descriptions and the minimum standard expected for the course) and the distribution of HSC marks for the state-wide candidature of that course. The student's HSC mark for the course is indicated on the performance scale. The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) This is a ranking based on a scaled aggregate of at least 2 units of English and the next best 8 units of Board-determined courses as calculated by the University of Sydney and recorded as a mark out of 100. This calculation is based on a composite of both the examination and assessment marks and will not be included on the Higher School Certificate or Record of Achievement itself but will be available to students on a separate document. Please note that a maximum of 2 units of Category B subjects may count towards an ATAR, and at least 2 units of English will be included in the calculation. The ATAR is used by most of the Tertiary Institutions for their entry requirements. Higher School Certificate results The HSC and Year 12 Record of Achievement Certificate will be mailed to students late in December. Students will receive the ATAR separately.
2. Assessment Purpose The provision of a separate School Assessment in reporting Higher School Certificate results has a twofold purpose. It is intended to provide an indication of a student’s attainment which is based on: • a wider range of syllabus objectives than is measured by the external examination; • measures and observations throughout the course rather than at a single external examination. Such an Assessment allows due weight to be given to indications of student achievement which, although evident to the class room teacher, cannot be adequately assessed by a single external examination. Implementation The cumulative results gained by each student contribute to the final assessment mark per student in each course. In most courses, formal assessment will commence at the start of Term 4 in Year 11 (i.e. the commencement of the H.S.C course) and continue throughout Year 12. Faculty policies / procedures that follow at the end of this document show different measuring instruments used for making the assessment in the various courses. The assessments submitted by schools for a particular course will measure their students’ achievements of the course outcomes by the end of the course in Year 12. They will be based on achievements measured throughout the HSC course. The use of achievement measures through a course will serve several purposes: • it enables consideration to be given to aspects of the course, the attainment of which can best be demonstrated over time, e.g. practical skills; • it caters for “self contained” elements such as fieldwork which occur as an isolated part of some courses. The assessment is to encompass a wider range of syllabus outcomes than can be measured by a single external examination, but will not assess interests and attitudes. Page 6
The assessment will also include that content and those outcomes currently measured by the external examination. The school assessments for each course will be moderated on a common scale by the Board of Studies so that they can be compared with those of other schools. Moderation of Assessment Marks: To ensure that students are not disadvantaged by the pattern of marks used by their school for Assessments, the Board of Studies uses moderation procedures. These procedures will be based on each schools’ performance in the external exam in the appropriate course and will retain the schools judgement of order of merit and relative difference between students. The procedures will adjust the Assessment to a common scale for all schools to ensure state-wide comparability. Standardisation of Marks: The subject policies outlined in this handbook state component weighting which are prescribed by the Board of Studies and are compulsory for all schools. The weight of a component is a measure of the influence of that component on the final assessment. The specified weightings ensure that schools place similar emphasis on the various objectives of a syllabus when determining the composition of the HSC assessment mark. To ensure that these requirements are satisfied, standardisation of marks will generally be applied. Standardisation helps to ensure that marks allocated in the assessment tasks contribute to the correct weighting of the final mark. Should any task fail to discriminate between students, the School reserves the right to omit that task from the assessment process or add additional tasks. Such a situation may occur if task results are of a uniformly high or low standard. It will not be possible for students to calculate their final assessment mark. School assessment marks will be moderated by the NSW Board of Studies. Conduct and Attendance: The Principal will be required to sign that a student’s conduct and attendance have been satisfactory throughout both years as a requirement for the award of a HSC. If a student’s absences exceed 15% of available time in any given course, the Principal may give an “N” indicator for that course unless the student can demonstrate that they have achieved the outcomes of the course as outlined in the syllabus in this reduced time. Unsatisfactory Performance: 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. Candidates who do not complete a course satisfactorily, will have neither an Assessment nor an Examination mark reported for those courses in which assessment requirements have not been met for the Higher School Certificate. “N” Determinations: In order for a student to be considered as having satisfactorily completed a Preliminary or HSC course, they must have: • 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; and • achieved some or all of the course outcomes. Any student failing to satisfy one or more of the above criteria may be awarded an “N” determination by the school, in which case the Board of Studies will not recognise enrolment in the particular course. Page 7
An “N” Determination will only be given after at least 2 warning letters have been issued to the student and parents, and extensive consultation has taken place in an attempt to rectify the situation. Changes of Courses or School: If a student transfers to another school, the new school will prepare the final assessments on those tasks completed at the new school. Information received from the former school may be considered. If the transfer occurs just prior to the HSC examination, (after the final date on which all students have completed final entry procedures for the HSC in the latter part of Year 12), the former school will provide the assessment. Board of Studies Documentation In keeping with recommendations from the Board of Studies, documentation relevant to courses taught at St. Joseph’s Regional College is available for student reference in the College library or the Board of Studies website. Such documentation includes syllabuses, course support Documents and HSC examiners’ comments. Past HSC Exam papers are also available for some subjects. Students may need to consult course teachers if these are not available through the library. Students are encouraged to make themselves familiar with this material in order to gain a greater appreciation of the content and methodology of courses studied, of assessment requirements and examinations formats. The College Librarian or Leader of Curriculum should be consulted for assistance in this area.

St. Joseph’s Regional College Policies – Student Information The College Assessment Policy is consistent with the guidelines provided by the Board of Studies The following policies and procedures formulated for St. Joseph’s Regional College are in keeping with policies and guidelines as stated by the Board of Studies. Course Assessment Policies Each course has stated its assessment procedures and this information is communicated in Section C of this handbook. These policies are designed to measure the achievements of each student in the components of course and subject objectives selected for assessment by the Board. Various measures will be used in such a way as to make the final mark an accurate representation of the degree of achievement by the student, in relation to all other students. Where students are in different classes in a particular subject Assessment strategies will be common across all classes so that comparisons can be made and the students considered, for assessment purposes, as part of the one group. The Assistant Principal in cooperation with the Leader of Curriculum will be responsible for the assessment procedure One of the main functions of this person will be to co-ordinate the assessment tasks given by various subjects and thus try to avoid student "overload" at particular times in the year. To this end, an assessment task planner will be issued early in each term. This planner will show the due date of every assessment task in all subjects for that term. The planner will be issued via the College Newsletter / Website, and should form an integral part of each student’s "strategic plan" for the term. Submission of students own work All work to be included as part of the assessment profile must be the student's own individual effort, not that of others. Students may be required to sign a statement to this effect. Work which is copied, taken wholly or substantially from the Internet or shows signs of extensive "outside assistance", may be awarded zero marks, or incur a penalty. 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, essentially their own work and not plagiarised from any other source (refer to “What is Plagiarism” and “Referencing” p. 16 & 17). If, at a subsequent date, the work is found to be not essentially their own, a mark of zero may be recorded for the assignment. Further, students who lend their work for such purposes may be penalised and are jeopardising the marks they have gained and their rank position. Format of Tasks Assessment tasks are NOT to be submitted in electronic format (unless requested by a teacher for a particular task). Only hard copies of tasks will be accepted. If an electronic format is requested it is the students responsibility to submit work which has been saved in a format that is compatible with school software. Tasks which are not saved in a compatible format will be treated as though the Assessment Task was not submitted. If you are unsure please check with the schools’ Leader of Learning Technologies coordinator to confirm you have the correct format.
Page 9
Students’ Records Accurate records will be maintained by College staff according to each subject's individual program for assessment. Each student will be made aware of his/her progress while privacy provisions are such that results for other students will not be published. Submission times for assessments All Assessment Tasks must be submitted to the teacher by 8.45am on the morning of the due date. This time applies whether the student is attending classes that day, or the assessment is being delivered by someone else. This time represents an absolute limit, and it is recommended that students should aim for a much earlier submission time. It is strongly recommended that students move all "due dates" forward by one day, thus avoiding any last minute delays or emergencies. Penalty Rules Governing Assessment Tasks Percentage penalties for missed or late tasks: • one day late or part thereof – 30% of the available marks; • 2, 3 or 4 days late – 20% of the available marks for each day; • 5 days late – remaining 10% of the available marks. These penalties include weekend days. In all cases – Students are strongly advised to notify the school as early as possible if they anticipate any difficulties in submitting or completing any assessment task. It remains the responsibility of the student to complete tasks according to instructions and to seek any consideration if this is not possible. Appeals must be made, in writing, to the Assistant Principal within 3 school days of the assessment date. This appeal will be examined by a committee consisting of the College Principal and/or College Assistant Principal, the Leader of Curriculum and one Leader of Learning. This committee’s decision will be final. Type of Assessment Tasks There are two types of assessment tasks: • In class assessment tasks e.g. tests, exams, in-class essays, practical tasks, administered on a given date. • Hand in assessment tasks i.e. tasks prepared predominantly out of class and submitted on a given date e.g. essays, research projects, reports. Rules applying to in class assessment tasks Students should not present for an assessment task having already missed classes that day. If a student is unable to attend classes prior to an assessment task then it will be presumed that the student would not be well enough to perform to the best of their ability in the assessment task if attempted that day. The student should, therefore, obtain a doctor’s certificate on that day, and present it to the Leader of Curriculum as soon as possible. In general, where an in class task has been missed, students should be prepared to attempt that task (or a substitute) immediately on their return to school, which may involve withdrawal from normal lessons in order to complete the task. The student should obtain a doctor’s certificate and present it to the Leader of Curriculum as soon as possible. Students should report to the Leader of Curriculum or, if Page 10
unavailable, to the Assistant Principal before 8.45am on the following day. It must not be assumed that estimates or z scores will be used for missed in class assessment tasks. Failure to comply with the procedures will incur the penalties as detailed in “Percentage Penalties for Missed or Late Tasks” stated previously. Absence from school or lessons in the Two Days prior to an assessment task (or 1 day if due on a Tuesday), must be explained by a Doctor’s Certificate, unless the absence is due to attendance at a school organised or approved activity. The Doctor’s Certificate must be presented to the Leader of Curriculum immediately on return to school after the absence. Otherwise the students will incur the penalties as detailed in “Percentage Penalties for Missed or Late Tasks” stated previously.
Rules applying to hand in assessment tasks Where a student is absent on the day that a hand in task is due to be submitted as an assessment, arrangements must be made for the material to be delivered to the College as early as possible that day, but no later than 8.45am. Delivery of research material in the afternoon by a student who has not attended classes that day would be deemed as unacceptable by the College and will incur the penalties as detailed in “Percentage Penalties for Missed or Late Tasks” stated previously. Where accident, illness or misadventure prevents a hand in task being completed on time, an application for consideration should be submitted on the special form provided in this booklet, on or preferably before, the due date. Further guidelines and rules for application for accident, illness or misadventure can be found on page 12 of this booklet. Absences from school or lessons in the two days prior to the due date of a hand in task, (or 1 day if due on a Tuesday), must be explained by a Doctor’s Certificate, unless the absence is due to attendance at a school organised or approved activity. The Doctor’s Certificate MUST be presented to the Leader of Curriculum immediately on return to school after the absence. Otherwise the students will incur the penalties as detailed in “Penalty Rules Governing Assessment Tasks”.
Assessment Periods Please be aware that assessments not attempted within the allocated assessment periods will, in most circumstances, result in a zero mark for that particular assessment.

Special Consideration for Illness/ Accident/ Misadventure Where accident, illness or misadventure prevents a task being completed on time, an application for consideration on the above grounds should be submitted on the special form provided in this booklet, on or preferably before, the due date. Copies of these forms are available from the Leader of Curriculum or the Assistant Principal. It is mandatory to present a Doctor's Certificate if illness is to be the grounds for Special Consideration. The application form is to be submitted to the Leader of Curriculum. Extensions of time should not be sought verbally from course teachers. In general, where an in-class task has been missed, students should be prepared to attempt that task (or a substitute) immediately on their return to school, which may involve withdrawal from normal lessons in order to complete the task. Students should not assume that such requests will be granted, and should obtain written confirmation of the results of such requests from the Leader of Curriculum. Report to the Leader of Curriculum or if unavailable to the Assistant Principal before 8.45a.m. Estimates or z scores will only be used as an absolute last resort. Where grounds for accident/illness/misadventure exists, then the following provisions may apply: • A student may be required to submit a task prior to absence if the date of absence is known in advance. •
An Extension of Time may be granted.
•
A 'Substitute Task' (and a time limit) may be given by the teacher.
•
An 'Estimate' may be given by the teacher, but this will only be used in exceptional circumstances. E.g., Where the completion of a substitute task is not feasible, is unreasonable, or where the missed task is difficult to duplicate. The teacher may authorise the use of an estimate based on other appropriate evidence.
•
A "Z" score based on marks gained in previous Assessment Tasks may be calculated by the course teacher. A "z" score would only be used under exceptional circumstances. As a general rule, every effort will be made to have a student complete the original, or a substitute, assessment task.
The final decision as to which of the above alternatives will be adopted will be made by the Leader of Curriculum in consultation with the Principal. Please note: Family holidays and other events such as attending concerts and sporting matches DO NOT constitute grounds for misadventure. Failure to complete an Assessment Task. In all other cases where a candidate fails 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. Failure of Technical Equipment Failure of equipment such as computers, printers etc. will NOT be accepted as a reason for failure to submit an Assessment Task. Students are strongly advised to print material on a progressive basis, and retain all rough work relating to a task, so these may be submitted if a failure of equipment occurs. Students should also keep back-up copies of all work in progress in different storage locations/devices. Students are also strongly advised to aim to complete tasks well before the due date, so any problems which may occur can be overcome on time. Page 14
Changes to College Policy College policy as detailed in this book may be changed in the light of experience gained, and / or as unforeseen problems arise, or to improve the efficiency of the Assessment system. If this occurs: • Students will be notified in advance. • No student will be penalised / disadvantaged as a result of changes made, in regard to assessment marks / rank gained, up to the time of change. Standing Senior Assessment Committee A ' Standing Committee' will be established within the College to: • monitor the working of the Assessment System within the College; • make recommendations in regard to students missing examinations; • examine student appeals against penalties etc. and make a determination about such appeals; • deal with any other assessment matters referred to it. This Committee shall consist of: • the College Leader of Curriculum (chair) • the College Principal and/or Assistant Principal • the Leader of Catechesis and School Evangelisation. This Committee will also function as the Senior Assessment Review Panel should the need arise. Special Provisions for Examinations The school follows the Board of Studies’ policy for students who require special assistance in completing examinations. In some cases students may be unable to demonstrate their learning or competency in a given examination due to a medical condition or a learning difficulty. In such cases special provisions may include a reader/writer, a computer or additional time for the examination. In all cases parents are asked to contact the Leader of Curriculum directly and early in the year, to request special provisions for their child. A committee will then gather evidence and determine what, if any, provisions will be granted. Review of assessment marks Any request for a review of marks for an individual task should be made in the first instance to the class teacher. Should the student wish to appeal further, the appeal should be made in writing to the relevant Leader of Learning, and if necessary a final appeal may be made in writing to the Senior Assessment Committee by way of the College Leader of Curriculum. Review of assessment rank order Students may seek a review of their final rank order in any course if this rank order differs significantly from the expectations gained from feedback on the performance in Assessment tasks throughout the course.

Plagiarism / Referencing What is Plagiarism? Plagiarism is the use of another person’s work without acknowledgement. Examples include: • • • • • • •
direct duplication, by copying (or allowing to be copied) another’s work. This includes copying from a book article, web site, or another student’s assignment; paraphrasing another person’s work with minor changes, but keeping the meaning, form and/or progression of ideas of the original; piecing together sections of the work of others into a new document; submitting an assignment that has already been submitted for assessment in another subject; presenting an assignment as independent work when it has been produced in whole or part in collusion with other people, e.g. another’s student’s work; the action or practice of plagiarising, the taking and using as one’s own the thoughts, writings, or inventions of another; a stolen idea, design, passage or work.
How can you avoid plagiarism? To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you • • • •
quote from someone’s actual spoken or written words; use another person’s ideas, opinions, or theories in an assignment or essay; make use of pieces of information, such as statistics, graphs, drawings, that are not common knowledge; paraphrase another person’s spoken or written words.
How can you avoid unintentional plagiarism? • • • •
use quotation marks around everything that comes directly from a text or article; try to summarise ideas and arguments in your own words – don’t just rearrange a few words here and there; check that you have correctly paraphrased and acknowledged the original ideas; check your summary against the original text.
Plan your work •
• •
Page 16
plan ahead and begin writing your assignments well before they are due. Leaving work until the last minute doesn’t give you enough time to read, digest, form your own ideas and write information in your own words. When students rush to meet a tight deadline, they are more likely to plagiarise unintentionally or succumb to the temptation to ‘cut and paste’ information directly from electronic resources. learn how to acknowledge your sources of information the golden rule – make sure your assignments are referenced correctly.
Why Reference? •
Referencing allows you to acknowledge the contribution of other writers in your work. Whenever you use words, ideas or information from other sources in your assignments, you must cite and reference those sources.
•
Inaccurate references or, worse still, no references at all can be regarded as plagiarism. All assignments must contain references; an unreferenced assignment implies every word, idea and fact is your own work. Referencing is a way to provide evidence to support the assertions and claims in your own assignments. By citing experts in your field, you are demonstrating the extent of your reading and research. Referencing is also a way to give credit to the writers from whom you have borrowed words and ideas.
•
References should always be accurate, allowing your readers to trace the sources of information you have used. The best way to make sure you reference accurately is to keep a record of all the sources you used when reading and researching for an assignment.
References in the Text of your Essay Correct referencing of your work reduces the possibility of accidental plagiarism. Use the bibliography guide to correctly reference your work. In the author-date (Harvard system), a textual citation generally requires only the name of the author(s) and the year of publication (and specific page(s) if necessary). This may appear at the end of a sentence, before the full stop. Alternatively, the author’s surname may be integrated into the text, followed by the year of publication in parentheses. The full reference must be listed at the end of your essay in your bibliography. Examples •
It is futile to maintain that the sexes are interchangeable (Moir & Jessel 1991, p.94).
•
Moir and Jessel (1991, pp.93-4) have shown that it is futile to maintain that the sexes are interchangeable.
