ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES

At the end of this document, on page 86, you will find a summary of factors that influence assessment in upper secondary school subjects. In Years 11 and 12, SCSA will moderate grades by visiting selected schools or by bringing teachers of individual courses together to come to a consensus over the requirements and cut-off points for grades. Year 12 General courses will have a compulsory, externally set task that will be used for moderation purposes. All schools, courses and students are part of this moderation process and are required to follow SCSA’s policy documents. The school, in turn, enlarges on some aspects of the guidelines to give students a clearer view of the opportunities and outcomes of the assessment and grading process.
