TAMWORTH HIGH SCHOOL

Year 10 Assessment Booklet 12/03/2018 9:49 AM

Why do we have an Assessment Schedule? This Assessment Schedule is used to determine overall cohort grades in subjects. Teachers may use additional criteria to assess a student’s class performance and level of outcome achievement. It also helps you to know what tasks are going to be given to you and when they are due.

What happens if I do not hand in a task on time? You must hand in all tasks on time.

A letter will be sent to your parent or carer telling them that you have not submitted a compulsory task. This will be in the form of a ‘N’ Award.

Even though you didn’t hand the assessment in on time you will still need to complete the task in order to satisfy the course content. You will not be awarded any marks for this assessment under these circumstances.

What is my responsibility? You are expected to perform the tasks which are part of the Assessment Program at the set time.

Hand in the tasks on the date due. Some tasks must be completed in class.

If absent for an in- class task, it is your responsibility to get a note from your parents/carers saying why you were away. There must be a good reason for not completing the task on the day required. Notes must be handed to the faculty Head Teacher. If approved you may undertake the task or alternate task, or receive an estimate for the task. Appeals will be decided by the Appeals committee convened by the Year Deputy Principal.

If you know that you will be away in advance you are required to apply before your absence to the faculty Head Teacher in writing. The faculty Head Teacher will make the decision. If you are not in attendance on the day, the task is due it must be submitted to the classroom teacher by 10.00am.

You do not have permission to complete assessment tasks during class time. It is your responsibility to have assessment tasks completed by the due date.

Record of School Achievement

The Record of School Achievement (RoSA) is a new credential for all students, beginning with Year 10 in 2012, to recognise school achievement before receiving their Higher School Certificate (HSC). A cumulative credential – recognising all your academic achievements Instead of just showing what your results were at the end of Year 10, the RoSA recognises that many students who leave school before completing their HSC complete some Year 11 courses.

The RoSA will show your Year 10 grades, as well as any grades for Year 11 (Preliminary) courses completed after that. If you start a course but leave school before completing it. Your RoSA will show evidence of your enrolment.

Your RoSA will also show results of any VET or Life Skills courses you complete in Year 10 and/or Year 11.

A credential for school leavers The RoSA will be awarded to all eligible students when they leave school.

If you transfer from one school to another at the end of Year 10 you will not receive a formal RoSA credential at that time.

To receive a RoSA you will need to meet your school’s attendance requirements.

You will be able to request a RoSA through your school when you talk to your teachers or principal about leaving.

If you have completed any Life Skills courses you will receive your Life Skills Profile of Student Achievement at the same time as your RoSA.

Fair grades for everyone Your RoSA grades will be determined by your teachers, using established guidelines and processes to ensure consistency of judgement.

Grades for all your courses in Years 10 and 11 will be based on your results in assessment tasks you do throughout the year. Assessment tasks may include tests developed and used in your school.

The RoSA credential will report on your achievements in Stage 5 courses, using A to E grades.

Teachers are very experienced already in determining grades based on your assessments. As part of introducing the RoSA, the Board will provide further support and resources to make sure grades are given fairly and consistently from school to school.

Life Skills Courses based on Life Skills outcomes and content satisfy the mandatory curriculum requirements for award of the RoSA.

If you are undertaking one or more courses based on Life Skills outcomes and content you will be eligible to receive a Profile of Student Achievement which will outline the Life Skills outcomes you achieve in each course.

From 2012, the Profile of Student Achievement will be printed and issued by the Board of Studies to students at the same time as their RoSA (or if ineligible for the RoSA, with the Transcript of Study). Students can also access a record of outcomes achieved via Students Online.

If you want to access your Profile of Student Achievement, before leaving school, you will be able to download an electronic record of it from Students Online. To access Students Online you will need your PIN number and school email address.

Life Skills outcomes will be shown on the profile as: o Achieved – for outcomes that have been achieved independently o Achieved with support – for outcomes that have been achieved with additional support.
