Assessment Policy
Overview of Assessment
During the school year teachers will give students feedback on their progress in the courses that are being studied. This feedback will take many forms, for example, a comment in class, a written comment on a piece of work corrected by the teacher, the result of a topic test, a mark or grade given for a piece of work, a discussion about a practical task. This type of assessment and its results help students form an impression about how they are progressing in each course.
However, at various times during Years 10-12 teachers are required by NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority) to formalise their assessment of students’ progress. To do this, teachers administer what are referred to as ‘Assessment tasks’. Performance on these Assessment tasks is one of the factors that determine whether a student satisfactorily completes the requirements for the ROSA or HSC courses. The results of the Assessment tasks administered during the HSC course are reported on the Higher School Certificate with the HSC exam mark
This booklet provides details of the formal Assessment tasks that will be administered in the various subjects and of the procedures that teachers and students will be asked to follow in the administration of these Assessment tasks. The Assessment tasks are based on the guidelines issued to schools by NESA. Each school must follow the components contained in the guidelines, although schools will differ in how they assess the components.
Why use Assessments?
Assessment tasks assist teachers in measuring student achievement in a course. Many tasks assess aspects of the course that cannot be measured in a formal examination, for example, practical skills oral skills, and performance on fieldwork.
A variety of assessment tasks lessen the pressure of examinations and increase the accuracy of the final ROSA or HSC result by reporting on a number of outcomes of the course. Students who do not always do well in examinations have other means of demonstrating success and may acquire more confidence in their ability to achieve outcomes.
To cope with Assessment tasks, students are encouraged to be organised in their study routine and to work consistently throughout the year.
When does Assessment begin and end?
Year 10 and Year 11 Assessment begins in Term 1. HSC course Assessment begins during Term Four of Year 11 and ends towards the end of Term 3 of Year 12. HSC course Assessment will only commence if the Preliminary course has been completed.
How often will Assessment occur?
NESA says that schools are to set sufficient Assessment tasks to obtain a reliable indication of the relative achievement of each student. They ask that schools do not over-asses and thereby overwhelm students with Assessment tasks.
Stage 6 assessment requirements
From Term 4, 2018, schools started teaching the new school-based assessment requirements for all Stage 6 (Year 11 and 12) Board Developed Courses (excluding VET, Life Skills and Content Endorsed Courses).
Part of the Stronger HSC Standards reforms, the changes to each course include:
mandatory components and weightings for both Year 11 and Year 12 courses
capping the maximum number of formal assessment tasks to three in Year 11 and four in Year 12
capping the number of formal written examination tasks that mimic the HSC examination to one per course, with a maximum weighting of 30% for the Year 12 course
Assessment does not :
1. measure attitude or values,
2. take conduct into account.
Note, however, that students must apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort for satisfactory completion of the HSC courses.
What should students be told about Assessment?
Students should be aware of the assessment requirements in each course that they undertake. Students are not told the assessment mark that is submitted to NESA by the College at the end of year 12. However, details of the position a student has obtained in a course (the rank order) are available at the time of the HSC.
Each school has a responsibility to tell the student the following information about each course:
1. the components and weighting as specified by the NESA,
2. the general nature of each Assessment task,
3. a schedule of when Assessment tasks are planned to take place,
4. the importance or weight of each task (Stage 6 only)
5. details of administrative arrangements associated with each task (e.g. absence, late submission),
6. details of the school’s policy on malpractice,
7. details of the procedure to be implemented if tasks produce invalid or unreliable results, and
8. details of the procedures for dealing with student appeals arising from Assessment tasks.
The information that follows outlines the College’s policies and procedures in relation to Assessment in Years 10-12. It is the student’s responsibility to familiarise themselves with the detail of these procedures. Ignorance is no excuse for not correctly following these procedures.
Assessment Policies and Procedures
Timing of Assessment
Prior to commencement of Assessment in any given term, Assessment tasks will be published to Canvas at least two weeks prior to when each task is due.
Prior to the assessment task, the class teacher will go through the notice of assessment with their class. It is the responsibility of any student who is absent from school when assessment information is given out to check the portal information for the class they missed and to obtain the appropriate details from their teacher upon their return to school.
Tasks Completed Outside the Classroom
Tasks such as major works, research projects, and assignments are to be entirely the student’s own work, or students will be considered guilty of malpractice and will probably be given a mark of zero (see later in this booklet for details of malpractice).
Submission of Tasks
Tasks are to be submitted per the instructions given on the Assessment task notification. Students who are completing assessment tasks using technology, are encouraged to make regular backup copies of their work. Problems with technology will not be accepted as an excuse for non-submission, substandard or incomplete work. If there is a problem with technology, students must be able to show evidence of their progress on a task.
If a teacher is absent on the day an Assessment task is due and the task is a hardcopy hand-in, students will be expected to submit their work either by arrangement with the teacher beforehand or via the Leader of Learning for that subject. Assessment tasks are not to be given to clerical or ancillary staff or to visiting teachers. If a student is on an excursion on the day an Assessment task is due, it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements for the task to be submitted on time, or prior to the due date.
All students studying VET courses are to ensure that they meet with the class teacher to make arrangements for the submission of a task that is due while the student is on work placement. It is also the responsibility of VET students to ensure that they find out any information about an assessment task that may have been set while the student is on work placement.
A student who has been suspended from school for disciplinary reasons will still be required to submit the task on the due date. If the task is an examination, the student will be required to attend the College in school uniform only for the duration of the exam. It is also the responsibility of a student who has been suspended to ensure that he finds out any information about an assessment task that may have been set while the student is suspended from school.
Non-completion of Assessment Tasks
Where there is no valid reason to explain why a student was unable to complete an examination or performance, on or by the due date, a zero will be awarded for that task. Where there is no valid reason to explain why a student was unable to hand in an assessment task on or by the due date, a zero will be awarded for that task, unless there is a late submission, in which case the provisions in the next section apply.
If a student fails to sit an examination or submit an Assessment task, parents of the student will be informed in writing, overseen by the Director of Curriculum, pointing out the possible consequences, (for example, a ‘N’ determination).
Students undertaking subjects which require the physical submission of a task (eg. TAS, Art) are required to submit their work by the due date. Failure to submit HSC major works by the due date will mean that students do not meet the course requirements and therefore will not qualify for the HSC in that subject.
Unjustified leave
If a student takes unjustified leave during the term, it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements for the task to be submitted on time, or prior to the due date. For assessments submitted late due to unjustified leave, the penalty is a deduction of 20% of the initially available marks per day. If a student is absent due to unjustified leave during an exam period, the student will receive a 0 for this assessment.
Late Submission of Assessment Tasks
Assessment tasks must be submitted by the due date and time on the assessment notification. If an Assessment task is submitted late, a penalty of a deduction of 20% of the initially available marks per day, will be applied. Weekends count as two days. If a task ultimately scores zero because of late submission, parents and students are informed in writing by the Director of Curriculum that the task has not been completed, and of the possible consequences of this. Students are still required to submit a genuine attempt at the task in order to satisfactorily meet the course requirements.
If a student hands in, or sits for an Assessment task on a given day but has not attended a class or classes in other subjects on that day, the task will be regarded as being handed in one day late and the appropriate penalty will apply.
Illness/Misadventure
Illness means any sickness or medical condition for which there is valid evidence. Claiming to have a cold without a doctor’s certificate is not valid grounds for illness.
Misadventure refers to any event, outside of the control of the student that prevents them from completing or sitting a task, for which there is valid evidence. Waking up late and missing a bus is not valid grounds for misadventure. A car accident with police report and/or photos would be considered valid evidence.
Sporting commitments
Students who will miss a task due to sport organised by St Edward’s are required to submit an illness/misadventure form which will be approved. If a student misses a task due to representative sport organised outside of the College, an application for illness/misadventure will only be approved in the event that the student is selected to represent the state or the nation. Supporting evidence from the sporting body must be submitted with the illness/misadventure form.
Procedure
If a student is unable to sit, submit or complete an Assessment task for any reason, the following procedures will apply:
1. The student must outline the circumstances on the Illness/Misadventure form provided for this purpose (The form can be found on the College Website). It is the student’s responsibility to submit this form.
2. In the event of illness, a medical certificate must be attached to the form. This should cover the impact of the illness on the student’s ability to complete the task on the due date. If the absence or late submission does not result from illness, other evidence documenting the reasons for absence or late submission must be provided when submitting the form (e.g., police report in the event of a car accident).
3. In consultation with the class teacher, the Leader of Learning and relevant Pastoral Leader, the Director of Curriculum will determine the validity of the illness/misadventure application. If it is determined that the inability to submit the task or absence was not for a legitimate reason, a zero mark will be awarded for the task.
4. For a valid absence or valid non-submission, the Leader of Learning will, in most circumstances, select an alternative task measuring similar objectives to the task for which the student was absent. In exceptional circumstances, e.g., where the completion of a substitute task is not feasible or reasonable, or where the missed task is difficult to duplicate, the Principal may authorise the use of an estimate based on other appropriate evidence.
Appropriate documentation must be a legitimate original or an authentic copy satisfying the following:
1. Medical certificates must contain the specific dates for which the illness applied as well as the how the illness prevents the student from sitting the assessment task.
2. Medical certificates cannot cover a broad period of time in general terms. For example, "X is unfit for schoolwork during Term 2" or "X is unfit to sit examinations" are not adequate.
3. Medical certificates during the HSC Trial examination period can only cover the day of the missed examination. Certificates covering multiple examinations over multiple days will not be accepted.
4. Medical certificates will not cover an assessment task held outside the dates to which it refers.
5. Medical certificates must be written by a qualified medical practitioner and will not be accepted if written by medical practitioners who are family members of the student.
6. A student who becomes unwell during an examination in the HSC Year must ensure that they notify the Examination supervisor and the Director of Curriculum. They should follow this up, on the day, with an illness/misadventure form and medical certificate.
7. An appropriate agent's report (e.g. police report) must include the reason for inability to sit the assessment task as well as the date, time and location of any incident that caused the student to miss the assessment task.
Note that for Stage 6, NESA instructs schools that the final school Assessment mark is not able to be used to compensate for factors such as extended illness, misadventure or domestic difficulties which may have affected a student’s overall achievement in the course.
Non-serious and non-attempts
NESA defines a non-serious attempt as including frivolous or objectionable material in an answer.
NESA defines a non-attempt in an HSC exam as including only completing multiple-choice questions.
Teachers/markers who consider a student’s answer in an assessment task to be either a non-serious or non-attempt should consult with their Leader of Learning. The Leader of Learning may then refer the issue to the Director of Curriculum.
Students must make a genuine attempt at all Assessment tasks that, taken together, contribute in excess of 50 per cent of the available Assessment marks for the HSC course. If an attempt at a particular task in the HSC scores zero, it is a matter for the teacher’s professional judgement whether the attempt is a genuine one.
Students who do not comply with the Assessment requirements in any HSC course will have neither a moderated Assessment mark nor an Examination mark awarded for that course. In the case of extension
courses, students who fail to meet the Assessment requirements for the common part of the course will not receive a result in the course at all.
Malpractice in Tasks
Malpractice/misconduct may include (but is not restricted to):
1. carrying notes or other unauthorised material (e.g., mobile phone or other technology not permitted in an exam) into a task, whether used or not
2. assisting someone in the task by passing notes or communicating with them in some way
3. having someone else sit the task
4. including frivolous or objectionable material in the task
5. soliciting or leaking inside information regarding the task with the view to gaining an unfair advantage for oneself or another student
6. plagiarism
7. generating answers or other parts of a task using artificial intelligence (e.g. ChatGTP) which are not acknowledged and referenced
The usual penalty for malpractice in Assessment tasks will be a mark of zero for that section of the task. This also applies to students who assist others in any way whatsoever to engage in malpractice. With the increase in use of the internet as a source of information in the completion of Assessment tasks, students must ensure that any work that they submit has been adequately referenced. Plagiarism will be deemed as malpractice and students who plagiarise another person’s work may receive a mark of zero for that section of the task.
Referencing of AI tools in assessment tasks
Students should note that the College does not regard any work produced by AI as belonging to the student (as in “All My Own Work”). As such, any text produced by AI must be acknowledged clearly (see below). That is, the use of AI should be acknowledged within your response, and it should be referenced in the bibliography. As with other forms of academic malpractice, a response which is predominantly based on text generated by AI will be subject to penalty (including the possibility of a zero mark being recorded). Use quotation marks to show work directly taken from AI, and acknowledge borrowed ideas as well as words used.
Students should speak to their class teacher about how best to acknowledge any ideas or text borrowed from AI, as different subjects may use different referencing systems.
Example for a bibliography:
Form that an AI bibliography entry should take: “Title of source” prompt. Name of AI Tool, version, Company, Date content was generated, General web address of tool.
Example of a bibliography entry for AI: “Describe the symbolism of the green light in the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald” prompt. ChatGPT, 13 June. chat.openai.com/chat
Note: Mandatory reporting of student malpractice in the HSC year is required by NESA
Provisions for Assessments
Students requiring provisions for Assessment tasks are documented by Diverse Learning. Provisions should be registered with the Diverse Learning team in conjunction with relevant Leaders of Learning and teachers. Students and parents have a responsibility to ensure that any changes to provisions are communicated to the Diverse Learning team at least one week prior to assessment tasks.
For formal exams, students will be sent an email regarding provisions prior to the exam date. Students have a responsibility to check the provisions listed on the email and to consult with the Diverse Learning team if there are any concerns.
For in-class assessment tasks, students with provisions have a responsibility to check the portal to ensure that a change of room has been listed at least one day prior to the task. Students should see their teacher or the Diverse Learning team if they have any concerns.
Tasks that Produce Invalid or Unreliable Results.
When designing Assessment tasks every effort will be made to ensure they produce valid and reliable results. However, if a task is not valid (for example, it does not give a broad enough range of marks) an additional task or questions will be set and combined with the original marks in such a way as to improve the validity of the original task.
Transfer between Courses
Students will only be able to change courses in Year 10 and 11 in consultation with the Director of Curriculum. Students will only be allowed to change courses in the HSC year if they are able to:
1. demonstrate that they have satisfactorily completed the relevant Preliminary course prior to transferring to a HSC course, 2. complete all HSC course requirements, including Assessment.
Students who transfer into the school after the commencement of the HSC Assessment program will
1. sit for the remaining Assessment tasks with the school group,
2. have their position in the group determined by comparison with the school group on these common tasks,
3. be given a mark in the assessment task(s) that they missed consistent with their ranking for the completed common tasks
Reporting Progress to Students
Results of Assessment tasks are to be given to students as a mark or grade. The rank in the class for that task is also to be given to the student in Years 11 and 12. At formal report times Year 11 and 12 parents
and students will be given their current cumulative rank based on performance in Assessment tasks in each course.
In VET courses, students will be informed of their progress in achieving units of competency by the system, 'competent' or 'not yet competent'. The student's logbook will be completed when competencies are achieved. An estimated mark will be submitted to NESA at the completion of the course. This mark will be obtained from students’ performance in the Trial HSC examination. This mark will only be used in the event of illness or misadventure on the day of the HSC exam.
“N” Determination Procedures
If it appears that a student is at risk of not meeting the assessment requirements of a course, a warning must be given. This warning will be given by the Director of Curriculum and involves advising the student and parent in writing and alerting them to the possible consequences of an 'N' determination. In Years 11 and 12, if a student is to be given an 'N' determination because of failure to complete Assessment tasks totalling more than 50 per cent of the final course Assessment marks, the Principal must advise the student of the determination, its consequences, and the student’s right to a school review and subsequent appeal to NESA.
Note that an “N” determination may be made in a course for reasons other than not meeting assessment requirements, e.g., students who do not attend work placement at the scheduled time, and students who do not apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the course by the teacher. A warning letter will be issued in these cases.
Procedure for appealing an assessment mark
“The teacher must assess the student’s actual performance, not potential performance. Assessment marks must not be modified to take into account possible effects of illness or domestic situations.”
(ACE Manual, https://ace.nesa.nsw.edu.au/ace-8072)
Once a student sits a task, an appeal cannot be made on the basis of illness or other similar issues as outlined in the quote above.
Students may only appeal the result awarded in an assessment task within three (3) school days of the task being returned. Students may not appeal the results of multiple-choice or short answer questions once the assessment task has been returned to the student permanently (e.g. taken home).
Level 1 Appeal
The student immediately informs the class teacher, who consults with the marker or marking team. They may make an adjustment, if necessary, based on the specific criteria of the assessment task.
Level 2 Appeal
Should the student not be satisfied with the result of the Level 1 Appeal then they may appeal, but within three (3) school days of the decision of the Level 1 Appeal, to the Leader of Learning of that subject.
Level 3 Appeal
Should the student not be satisfied with the ruling made by the Leader of Learning then they can appeal to the Director of Curriculum. Such appeals must be made within three (3) school days of the delivery of the Leader of Learning’s decision. The Director of Curriculum will only check that due process has been followed and will not be concerned with specific aspects of content or specialised subject information. The Director of Curriculum will not question a teacher’s judgement of the student's performance
School Review Procedures for rankings
Students can request from the College, after their last timetabled HSC exam, their Assessment rank order in each subject (i.e., position in each course). NESA provides this. If students consider their position in the school’s order of merit for a particular course is not consistent with the feedback from their performance during the Assessment tasks throughout the course, they are entitled, within two weeks after the last HSC exam, to seek a review.
NESA specifically states that a teacher’s judgement of the worth of individual assessment tasks, as reflected in the mark awarded, will not be subject to review as part of this process.
This review checks that:
1. the school has complied with the weighting specified by NESA for each subject, 2. weighting for each component, as specified in the subject programs, have been adhered to, 3. clerical and computational errors have not been made.
If the review discovers an error, it will be corrected, and the student will be informed. If it finds no error the student will also be informed. If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of the review the student may appeal to NESA which will check to ensure that the school review was carried out correctly.
