GENERAL INFORMATION

1. INTRODUCTIONThis booklet aims to give students, parents and caregivers information about assessment for the Higher School Certificate Course.

Some students are already aware of the career path they wish to follow. Many students have not decided on a career and changing job demands will mean they may have to alter their career direction while still in training.

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has recognised these problems and is now giving students (age 15-19 years or more) the opportunity to complete their HSC over a period of up to 5 years.

2. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATEThe NESAs has the power to award the credential titled “The Higher School Certificate”. To be eligible for this award, students must comply with the entry requirements, course restrictions and rules and regulations established by the NESA. Eligibility requirements for the Higher School Certificate

To be eligible for the award of the Higher School Certificate students must have:

(i) gained the RoSA or such other qualifications as the NESA considers satisfactoryi. satisfactorily completed courses that comprise the pattern of study required by

the NESA for the award of the Higher School Certificate

(ii) sat for and made a serious attempt at the required Higher School Certificate examinations.

All students undertaking one or more Preliminary or HSC courses must first complete the HSC: All My Own Work program in ethical scholarship. This program is delivered through the school and will assist students to understand their rights and responsibilities in HSC assessment.

Pattern of studyTo qualify for the Higher School Certificate Students must satisfactorily complete a Preliminary pattern of study comprising at least 12 units and an HSC pattern of study comprising at least 10 units. Both patterns must include:

at least six units of NESA Developed Courses at least two units of a NESA Developed Course in English at least three courses of two-unit value or greater no more than 6 units of courses in Science, and at least four subjects.


4

Accumulation of the Higher School CertificateStudents may accumulate HSC courses towards the Higher School Certificate over a period of up to five years. Preliminary courses may also be accumulated.

The five-year period is counted from the first year you satisfactorily complete an HSC course. It will apply regardless of whether you defer your studies for one or more years during the five-year period. Accumulation of HSC courses cannot extend beyond a five-year period.

The 5 year option allows students access to a range of studies and means they can study full time or part time and deal with other choices, such as sporting careers, travel, working opportunities.

This opportunity establishes a number of Pathways each of which offer students access to a more flexible pattern of study that can result in the award of an HSC.

This booklet explains the requirements for the Year 11 Preliminary Courses. Each student who sits for the HSC must satisfactorily complete 12 Units of Preliminary Courses.

At the end of this Booklet is a checklist of Preliminary Course Requirements. You should make sure that you can meet all of these requirements.

3. SPECIAL PROVISIONSIf you have a medical condition which is an ongoing disability that will, in a normal examination situation prevent you from:

(a) Reading and interpreting the examination questions and/or(b) Communicating knowledge or understanding to an examiner as effectively as a

student without that disability.

You must see your Deputy Principal / Year Advisor / School Counsellor to obtain a form for “Special Provisions” early Term 1. If this condition occurs later in the year it must be registered with the Deputy Principal.

SCHOOL ASSESSMENT POLICY4. INTRODUCTION

The Kingsgrove North High School Preliminary Higher School Certificate Assessment Policy is designed to standardise procedures between subject areas and to give students and teachers a clear statement of their rights and responsibilities.

It is the responsibility of the school to communicate the assessment requirements to the students.

It is the responsibility of the students to meet the requirements and to make every effort to resolve problems and/or disputes.

Please read this policy carefully and make sure you understand it. All students must sign to acknowledge that they have received this booklet.

What is HSC assessment?Assessment is the process of gathering information and making judgements about student achievement for a variety of purposes. In the Preliminary and HSC courses those purposes include:

assisting student learning evaluating and improving teaching and learning programs providing evidence of satisfactory achievement and completion of a course provide information on student learning and progress in a course in relation to

the syllabus outcomes report on the achievement by each student at the end of a course.

It is a requirement Preliminary/HSC school assessment program that for each course the school must establish a program of assessment tasks. These tasks are conducted throughout the preliminary year (Year 11) and then in Year 12. Each has a weighting determined by the school with guidelines provided by the NESA of Studies.

The preliminary course commences in term 1 to term 3. From term 4 year 11 students will then commence Year 12 assessment tasks in all subjects. The tasks will determine each student’s assessment mark which is a measure of each students achievements relative to the performance of other students in the same course at KNHS.

Higher School Certificate will show two marks for each course: the exam mark and a HSC moderated assessment mark.

Purpose of HSC AssessmentThe purpose of school assessment for HSC students is to provide an indication of student achievement based on:

a wider range of syllabus outcomes than may be measured by a single HSC exam; and

multiple measures of observations made throughout the HSC, giving students credit for what they have achieved throughout their courses, in addition to their final exam.


6

Satisfactory Completion of Preliminary and Higher School Certificate courses.Students are considered to have satisfactorily completed a course, in the Principal’s view, if there is sufficient evidence that they have met the following criteria. They must have:

1. followed the course developed by NESA2. applied themselves with due diligence and sustained effort to the tasks and

experiences provided by the school, and 3. achieved most or all of the course outcomes

Indicators of possible failure for students to apply themselves and fulfil course requirements to the school’s satisfaction include:

an excessive rate and absences or lateness in a course; an excessive rate of absences or lateness to school; failure to submit assessment tasks; poor achievement caused by lack of application; failure to complete classwork and/or homework; proven case of copying, plagiarism or cheating.

If at any stage during the course it appears that a student is not meeting the course outcomes, a NESA pink warning letter will be sent home. The purpose of this letter is:

to give students a warning in time to correct the area of concern and/or to clarify their current status regarding an unsatisfactory designation.

Where it is determined that a student has not satisfactorily completed a course, that student will not receive any results in that course.

NESA Website It is recommended that all students access this Website. Students will be able to access syllabuses, past papers, sample responses and support material for all their courses. NESA website: http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/home

5. ASSESSMENT POLICY PROCEDURES – Student responsibilities

Expectations of students

AttendanceStudents must attend all classes to satisfactorily complete the HSC course. A minimum of 85% attendance is generally expected for students to achieve the outcomes of the courses being studied.

DiligenceIt is expected that students prepare for exams and make a serious attempt. Students must work with sustained effort and due diligence in all aspects of each course.


7

Syllabus requirementsIt is expected that students complete the syllabus, including participation in class, practical work, oral presentations, homework, assignments and exams.

Sustained applicationStudents must make a genuine attempt at ALL assessment tasks. Failure to complete less than 50% of assessment tasks will result immediately in an ‘N’ Determination for that course.

Students who do not comply with assessment requirements will not have a moderated assessment mark or an Exam mark awarded. (ACE Manual NESA website)

Notification of assessment tasksA minimum of two (2) weeks’ notice will be given to students of coming tasks as published in this handbook. Students who are absent from class on the day that an Assessment Task Notification is issued, must see the teacher to receive the notification.

A written record of the student being issued the task will be kept in a central register within each faculty.

Submission of assessment tasksStudents are expected to submit tasks by the due date with the Assessment Cover Sheet attached to the front of the task. Upon submission of a task, a student must sign that they have submitted the task, which is to be retained as proof of submission. An assessment task not submitted on time will be given a zero mark along with an N Warning Notification. The submission of a take home assessment task will be 8:50am on the day the task is due, unless otherwise specified. All in-class assessment tasks must be completed on the designated day. Students are to attend school and all timetabled lessons on the day the task is due. Failure to do so may result in a zero mark being awarded. Acceptable reasons for the late submission or absence from an assessment task include illness, accident or misadventure. If a student cannot attend an exam or submit an task on time, that student needs to obtain documentation such as a medical certificate, a subpoena from a court or a death certificate, and submit that documentation, along with the Illness and Misadventure Form to the Faculty Head Teacher immediately upon returning to school. The Head Teacher will determine if the reason is acceptable and will advise the student of the appropriate opportunities to re-sit or resubmit the assessment. Technological issues, work placement, family holidays and other non-emergencies are not justifiable reasons for submitting an assessment task after the due date; or for being absent from an examination; and will result in a zero mark being awarded. Students who are deemed to make a non-serious attempt at any assessment task will be awarded zero. This includes only completing one section of the examination or not making a genuine attempt to complete all sections of an assessment task. When a student fails to submit an assessment task by the due date, an official warning letter will be sent home informing the student and parents of the missing task and the impact of non-completion of this task on the course completion.


8

Even though a student fails to submit an assessment task by the due date, that task must still be submitted. Failure to complete a task may be used as evidence that a student has not applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort and may have ramifications for course eligibility.

Year 10 students- need to successfully satisfy all assessment requirements for all courses. Students who are presented with 2 or more official warning letters in any one subject, will be deemed as ‘causing concern’ and may risk achieving a ROSA and progressing into the preliminary course.

Year 11 students- need to successfully satisfy all of the assessment requirements for all preliminary courses (a total of 12 units of study) to be eligible to move on to the HSC course work. Students who are presented with 2 or more official warning letters in any one subject, will be deemed as ‘causing concern’ and appropriate interventions by the Deputy Principal will be applied.

Year 12 students- that fail to complete tasks whose weightings total more than 50% of the total assessment mark in a particular subject, without a valid reason, could be issued with an ‘N’ determination in that subject in the HSC. This could deem a student ineligible to receive a HSC. Work submitted in an assessment task must be only that of the student. If a student uses the work of another person or directly copies from published texts or an internet site to complete a task they will receive a zero mark and the task will need to be re-submitted. If the work used was that of another student from this school, who knowingly supplied the information, then that student may also receive a zero mark as well.

If a student is concerned with the result following the marking of a task, then they have a right of appeal. An appeal must be lodged as soon as possible after the return of the task using the appeal form and submitted to the Head Teacher of the appropriate KLA for review.

All assessment tasks should be marked and written feedback provided to the students within 3 weeks of the submission date.

Procedures for students when absent from tasks If a student is absent from school during the time an Assessment Task is to be done, the following procedures must be followed.

6.1 The student or a responsible adult MUST contact the school by telephone (9502 3933) or fax (9554 3907) or email or make a personal representation at the school, prior to the time designated for the start or receipt of the assessment task and notify the Course Coordinator or Head Teacher responsible for the course, of the student’s inability to be present at that time.

6.2 IMMEDIATELY upon the student’s first return to school, the student MUST present to the Course Co-ordinator or the Head Teacher responsible for the course, documentation supporting the legitimacy of the absence.

6.3 In the case of illness, the documentation should be in the form of a Medical Practitioner’s Certificate which states the exact nature of the illness and the fact that the illness caused the student to be unfit for the task completion. Medical Certificates should not be back dated.


9

6.4 In the event of unavoidable but necessary delay, appropriate and acceptable documentary evidence justifying the extenuating circumstances, must be supplied. (See Rule 7.2 following).

6.5 In the case of immediate illness or misadventure at the time of performing any Assessment task, it is the responsibility of the student to obtain and complete and Illness/ Misadventure Form from the Head Teachers/ Deputy Principal. Again, when necessary, these forms must be accompanied by appropriate and acceptable documentation.

6.6 Medical Certificates will be expected IMMEDIATELY UPON THE STUDENT’S RETURN. Other forms of documentation would be preferred immediately upon the student’s return, but will be expected as soon as possible and within what is considered reasonable time. The medical certificate must be attached to the Misadventure form which can be collected from either the Deputy Principal’s or Head Teachers.

Completion of the missed task7.1 It is the responsibility of the student immediately upon the first return to school,

to contact the Course Co-ordinator or Head Teacher responsible for the task, in order to establish the time and location for the completion of the task requirements.

7.2 The student will complete any task or alternative task on the first appropriate occasion after returning to school. The time and location for the completion of the task will be determined by the Course Co-ordinator or the Head Teacher responsible for the task. The student will then be responsible for attending at that time and location in order to complete task requirements.

7.3 The nature, the format or even the need for a replacement or additional task will be the prerogative of the Course Co-ordinator or even the Principal. This could result in the original task being replaced with an estimate as occurs with students who enter a course late.

Medical CertificatesMedical certificates will be expected immediately upon the return of the student and attached to the Illness/Misadventure form. The medical certificate must:

Be written on a named Doctor’s pad; Include the date of the missed tasks; Should show the nature of the illness; State that the student is “unable to complete the preliminary/HSC

assessment Task”. It is the students responsibility to bring this to the attention of the medical practitioner, and

Show the length of time the student will be unfit for school.


10

N Award Warning lettersNESA warning letters are issued to students and their parents/caregivers if students are in danger of not meeting the Course Completion Criteria in any course. The NESA requires the school to issue official warning letters in order to give the student the opportunity to redeem themselves.

A minimum of two course specific warnings must be issued prior to the final “N” (non-completion) determination being made for the course.

An assessment task not submitted on time will be given a zero mark along with an N Warning Notification.

The Illness/Misadventure process does not cover: Attending organised functions, including work placement, sporting competitions,

does not constitute an excuse for missing or postponing an assessment task. If attendance at such events is deemed necessary, it is the responsibility of the student to inform the Course Co-ordinator before the commencement of the assessment task and to arrange alternative processes in order to fulfil assessment requirements.

Students who have an unauthorised absence (no valid explanation, no documents, etc.)

Misreading the exam timetable and/or misreading of Exam instructions

If the Illness/Misadventure Application is acceptedThe Head Teacher of that course will do one of the following: arrange for an extension of time for submission. arrange for completion of the same task at a different time. arrange for the completion of an alternative task. arrange for an estimate (if authorised by the Principal).

If the Illness/Misadventure Application is not accepted:The student will be awarded a zero mark and a NESA warning letter will be sent home to advise the parents/carers.Students may appeal against the Head Teacher’s decision by lodging an appeal form with the Principal within three (3) days of initial determination.The principal may: Reject the appeal and order the zero to stand; Grant a limited extension; Order that a substitute task be performed; Award an estimate.

Procedures relating to Malpractice


11

All work presented in assessment tasks and external examinations (including submitted works and practical examinations) must be your own or must be acknowledged appropriately. Malpractice, including plagiarism, could lead to you receiving zero marks and will jeopardise your HSC results.

Malpractice is any activity that allows you to gain an unfair advantage over other students. It includes, but is not limited to:

copying someone else’s work in part or in whole, and presenting it as your own using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet without

reference to the source building on the ideas of another person without reference to the source buying, stealing or borrowing another person’s work and presenting it as your

own submitting work to which another person, such as a parent, coach or subject

expert, has contributed substantially using words, ideas, designs or the workmanship of others in practical and

performance tasks without appropriate acknowledgement paying someone to write or prepare material breaching school examination rules using non-approved aids during an assessment task contriving false explanations to explain work not handed in by the due date assisting another student to engage in malpractice.

(Rules and Procedures for HSC candidates)

Should an assessment task be corrupted through malpractice, the Principal may deem it necessary to organize a substitute assessment task to ensure equity and fairness.

Malpractice, including plagiarism is cheating and a zero mark will be awarded. It will not be tolerated at Kingsgrove North High School.

Student behaviour during assessment tasks, including ExamsDuring assessment tasks students must behave in a way that does not distract other students from their work during the Task.

Disruption to the Assessment Task in any way will result in parents/guardians being informed of such attempts by letter.

A Zero will be awarded if any of the following behaviours are witnessed during an Assessment task including Exams:

Cheating in any way Communicating with another student Takes notes or electronic devices such as mobile phones into the room or Makes a non-serious attempt.

Teacher absence when assessment is due.

If the class teacher is absent on the day an assessment task is due for submission then the student must hand the task to the appropriate Head Teacher (or her/his representative if she/he or the class teacher is absent) and collect a receipt.


12

If a teacher is absent on the day for which an assessment task is set, the Head Teacher or her/ his representative will make every endeavour to ensure the task is given. If this is not possible the task will be postponed until a new date can be determined and set.

Disputes and their resolution

Disputes regarding assessments should be resolved as soon as possible and must be notified to the Course Co-ordinator within one (1) week of the assessment result being announced. If necessary, the process for resolution, in order, should be: The class teacher concerned. The Head Teacher of the subject. The Student Adviser. The School Assessment Review Panel (for a final decision).Students may not dispute the type and nature of assessment tasks or the teacher’s professional judgement relating to the allocation of marks for tasks.Areas for potential dispute could be: Failing to notify that a task is assessable. Not including a notified task in the assessment marks. Student(s) gaining an unfair advantage as a result of cheating, prior knowledge

or unauthorised time extension.

Late entry into course – Transfer or RepeatsStudents transferring from another school will begin their assessments upon arriving at this school. Any students involved in exchange programs will also commence their assessment upon their return.

Where a student repeats or transfers from another school during the assessment process, the following procedure will be used to calculate the student’s assessment mark: Total the marks for all tasks completed from the student’s arrival using the

weightings in the Course Assessment Policy.

Find the new student’s rank from this total.

Total the marks for the whole assessment program across the Preliminary course excluding the new student. Rank the rest of the students on this total using the weightings as documented.

Assign the student a mark based on the rank calculated in Step 31.2


13

Review of Assessments

Students will be informed of their results for all tasks but must be aware that most tasks are not necessarily marked according to the mark value shown in the subject assessment summary information. For example, a task with an assessment schedule marks value of “10” could be marked out of “20” marks. Students should be concerned more with their ranking within the school’s subject group and the relative difference between their own and other students’ assessments rather than with numerical marks.

It is also possible to have an assessment reviewed if the student believes the school did not follow procedures similar to those indicated in the published Assessment Program for that subject, or where clerical errors in the determination of the Assessment Mark have occurred. Any review of an assessment must be resolved within three (3) weeks of the notification of the assessment result.

Reviews will NOT involve consideration of any teacher’s assessment of the value of a student’s work in any of the tasks on which assessment has been based.

The Review Panel

The composition of the School Assessment Review Panel will be as follows:

Principal The supervising Deputy Principal The Year Advisor Two (2) Head Teachers

Five (5) will be available with a minimum of only three (3) to meet and sit on any review.

VET COURSE INFORMATION

51

Vocational Education and Training (VET)The VET Curriculum frameworks are based on Industry training packages. The courses from these frameworks are NESA Developed and provided students study the 240 hour course and undertake optional written HSC examination, they may contribute to the ATAR. They are all Category B subjects

Assessment Assessment for the Higher School Certificate VET Courses within Industry Curriculum Frameworks has two distinct purposes:1. Assessment for Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) VET qualifications – competency based assessment.2. Assessment for the NESA Higher School Certificate that may include the optional HSC examination for the Australian Tertiary Admission

Rate (ATAR).

AQF CertificationVET Courses are competency based. This means that students work to develop the competencies, skills and knowledge described in each Unit of Competency. To be assessed as competent a student must demonstrate to a qualified assessor that they can effectively carry out the various tasks and combinations of tasks listed to the standard required in the appropriate industry. There is no mark awarded in competency based assessment. Students are assessed as either “competent’ or ‘not yet competent’ in individual Units of Competency. Competency based assessment determines the vocational qualification that a student will receive.VET COURSES ARE ASSESSED AS A CLUSTER TASK OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

NESA REQUIREMENTSStudents undertaking a VET course must meet the requirements of the NESA for the award of the Higher School Certificate along with the requirements of the AQF for the award of a certificate or statement of attainment.The NESA has mandated work placement as a requirement of the HSC. Students must achieve the hours of work placement required for the course undertaken. They are required to complete a minimum of 35 hours of mandatory work placement for each 2 Units of a VET curriculum framework course studies. For a 240 hour course (2yrs x2units) this would equate to 70 hours work placement.The rules and processes related to an ‘N’ award for a NESA Developed Course and a NESA Endorsed Course are applicable to students undertaking a VET course. More information can be found in the Assessment, Certification and Examination (ACE) manual.

ULTIMO RTO 90072VET COURSE ASSESSMENT SCHEDULES

Preliminary 2020 – HSC 2021

Vocational Education and Training (VET) CoursesVocational Education and Training (VET) courses are offered as part of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or Record of School Achievement (RoSA). VET courses are designed to deliver workplace-specific skills and knowledge and cover a wide range of careers and industries. VET courses for secondary students are developed by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and are based on national training packages.VET courses allow students to gain both HSC or RoSA qualifications and a qualification recognised throughout Australian as part of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). These qualifications are widely recognised by industry, employers and tertiary training providers e.g. TAFENSW and Universities and will assist students to move easily between various education and training sectors and employment.Public Schools NSW, Ultimo operates as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 90072) to deliver and assess VET qualifications to secondary students.It is mandatory for all students studying a VET course to create a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Students will require a form of identification, such as a Medicare Card, Birth Certificate, Driver’s License or a valid passport for the creation of the USI.Board Developed VET courses are classified as Category B subjects and ONLY ONE may contribute to the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). These courses have an optional HSC examination. Students wishing to include a VET course in the ATAR calculation must sit the HSC examination.Board Developed VET courses have specified workplace requirements and include industry specific mandatory work placement (35 hours per 120 hours of delivery) or occasionally simulated workplace hours at school. Board Endorsed VET courses do count towards the HSC or RoSA but do not have HSC examinations therefore do not count in the calculation of the ATAR. Board Endorsed VET Courses have either mandatory or recommended industry specific work placement.

Assessment in all VET courses is competency based. The student is assessed on what they can do (the skills) and what they know (the knowledge) that will equip them in the workplace. Students who have successfully achieved competency will have the skills and knowledge they need to complete workplace activities in a range of different situations and environments, to an industry standard of performance that is expected in the workplace.Competency-based training is based on performance standards that have been set by industry. Competency-based assessment materials are designed to determine if each learner has achieved all the outcomes (skills and knowledge). Students will receive documentation showing the competencies achieved for the VET course undertaken. Students in VET courses must be able to demonstrate competence regardless of disability. The principles of HSC: All My Own Work apply to all Stage 6 VET courses, including early commencement in Stage 5.If the student has already completed part of the course elsewhere, or have previous life or work experience in the relevant industry, he or she may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for part of the course, or for 35 Hours work placement in the HSC course. The student does not have to repeat the training or assessment but must produce evidence of competence (which may be demonstrated during a skills and knowledge assessment). The VET committee consisting of the VET teacher, VET Coordinator and a member of the senior executive will determine if the student is eligible.


53

If a student has completed a unit of competency with another RTO and the student can supply evidence of the same or an equivalent competency, credit transfer is awarded (common examples include a white card course, first aid certificate or a barista course).Due to the specific requirements of a VET course it is recommended students speak to the VET Coordinator or Careers Adviser before choosing the course to ensure they are fully aware of the requirements.Use the following table as a guide to the appropriate outcome to record for each student:

NESA Outcome NCVER Outcome Explanation (source: AVETMISS Data Elements definitions, Edition 2.2 April 2013)

Achieved Competency achieved / pass

Student has been assessed and satisfie s all the requirements for the unit of competency

Not Achieved Competency not achieved / fail

Student has attempted all requirements for the assessment and has been assessed as not competent in one or more of the requirements of the competency

Continuing Continuing enrolment The student has engaged in learning activity, but has not completed all the training and assessment criteria by the end of the collection period

Withdrawn Withdrawn / discontinued

(a) The student has engaged in some learning activity, then notified the RTO of their withdrawal before completing all of the assessment criteria(b) The student has engaged in some learning activity then stopped attending or submitting assessments without notifying the RTO

RPL Recognition of Prior Learning Granted

The student has been assessed and RPL has been granted

Credit Transfer Credit transfer / National Recognition

The student can supply evidence of the same or an equivalent competency, and credit transfer is awarded. This is used where there is no delivery of training or assessment of the student’s knowledge.

Did Not Start NILStudent was enrolled in the unit of competency, but no training or assessment occurred. WILL NOT BE REPORTED OR APPEAR ON THE USI
