YEAR 12 - 2016

Welcome to your final year of school at South Grafton High School. The next four terms will

pass quickly, so it is imperative that you organise your time carefully. Try to avoid wasting

time from the start – you never get a chance to recover this time. It is important that you settle

into a routine and ensure ALL work is presented at your BEST possible standard.

This booklet provides you with information regarding your assessment requirements for each

of your courses. The booklet should be used as a valuable tool to help you organise your study

time. Make sure you read it carefully and know what is in the booklet.

All students should be aware of their own assessment schedule and should be working in

advance to prepare for upcoming tasks. You will be emailed the Year 12 Assessment

Schedule overview and the Assessment Booklet. This will help to minimise problems with a

heavy workload occurring at some times. Lack of planning is often the cause of many

problems faced by students in Year 12.

A calendar/planner will be available at the Study Skills Day. Write important dates and

assessment tasks on it. Also on your calendar include all other important activities such as

family functions, personal points, sporting commitments, other tests, etc. The planner should

let you see an overall picture at a glance.

Please Note: If you are having problems in any particular area, please ask for advice and seek

help immediately. Teacher Senior Studies is located in the library. Do not leave it because

these sorts of problems in Year 12 rarely go away. Staff are always willing to help. Other

people to consult are Head Teachers, Counsellors, Year Advisers, Mrs Foley or the Deputy

Principals.

If you miss an assessment task due to illness or some other reason, you must see your teacher

on the FIRST DAY BACK at school after the task due date, or before the task when possible,

and complete the “Non-Completion of Task” form. Alternative arrangements may be made

for you to complete the task. The more documentation you have to support your case, the

better chance you have of not getting zero for the task. The assessment result you earn

throughout this year for each course will be part of your assessment mark and MAY BE the

mark that has to be used in the case of illness/ misadventure during your HSC exams. None of

us can foresee if this will be the case, so it is better to get the best possible mark by

completing tasks to the highest possible standard.

Work hard and ensure your final year at school is both enjoyable and rewarding. Be organised

and work to minimise your stress levels. It is your future you are working on. Time spent now

will be to your advantage in the future.

May your next 12 months be both rewarding but also filled with hard work. Enjoy being part

of Year 12, 2016

SENIOR ASSESSMENT POLICY

1. THE PURPOSE OF SENIOR ASSESSMENT is to measure student achievement in a

variety of ways throughout Preliminary and HSC courses.

2. WHAT IS ASSESSMENT INTENDED TO ACHIEVE?

measure each student’s achievements in each course, in relation the stated

outcomes for each course.

achieve an accurate and fair assessment by using several assessment tasks

measure skills that are not easily measured by a written examination (such as

practical tasks, research skills and fieldwork)

assessment does not directly measure attitude to study or behaviour, although

knowledge and skills will be affected by these things.

3. POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR ASSESSMENT

3.1 Type of Assessment Tasks

Assessment may take the form of:

written examination

open book examination

oral presentation

listening task

practical task

research task

performance

project

fieldwork project

other appropriate tasks

The types of tasks used in each course will depend on the nature of the course and will

conform to the assessment requirements specified for each course by The Board of

Studies in the Syllabus Document* and Examination, Assessment and Reporting

Supplement* for each course.]

*Copies of these are available in each KLA, in the Head Teacher [Senior Studies]

office and at http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au

3.1a The number of assessment tasks given should be kept to a minimum. This is

normally accepted as being 5 tasks including the Trial HSC exam.

However, due to the nature of some courses e.g. Number options and modules

this may be slightly exceeded.


Page 5

3.2 Common Assessment

Assessment of all students studying a course will be based on common assessment

tasks. When there is more than one class studying the same course the KLA Head

Teacher must ensure that assessment tasks are conducted and marked commonly, i.e.:

use the same task under the same conditions

all groups complete the task as close in time as the timetable allows

marked to a common standard

3.3 Information on the Nature and Scheduling of Assessment Tasks

1. At the commencement of the Preliminary and HSC courses the Head Teacher

[Senior Studies] will collate and distribute to each student a handbook of

assessment information which includes:

a summary of the school policy on senior assessment

an overview of the assessment tasks for each course (specifying the

nature of each task, the outcomes to be assessed, its weighting in the

final assessment for that course, the approximate timing for the

assessment task) provided by each KLA Head Teacher

as soon as the school timetable is complete a calendar of Assessment

Tasks showing the week and term for all scheduled tasks will be

distributed to each student.

2. Each student including late enrolments and partial enrolments must sign a

register to acknowledge receipt of this information. This register is to be

maintained by the Year Adviser.

3. Parents will be advised of the distribution of handbook and calendar via the

School Newsletter - Year Adviser to place the notices.

4. At least two weeks prior to the date of an assessment task the teacher(s) will

issue an information sheet to each student in the course. This information will

clearly describe:

a) the nature of the task,

b) the syllabus outcomes on which achievement will be assessed,

c) the criteria used to measure student achievement in relation to the

specified outcomes.

In the case of major examinations (End of Course [Preliminary] and, Trial HSC

[HSC]) students should assume that achievement may be assessed in relation to any

outcomes covered to that point in the course.

5. Major examination periods (End-of-Course for Preliminary and Trial HSC for

HSC) will be advised by the Principal at the commencement of the school year

via the School Newsletter and in the Assessment Schedule.

6. The timetable for major examination periods will be published and a copy

issued to each student at least two weeks prior to the first exam. Head Teacher

in charge of senior exams to prepare timetable and distribute to each student.


Page 6

7. Where it is necessary to reschedule an assessment task from the submitted date

the following steps should be taken by the teacher(s):

consult with the group(s) involved to find a suitable alternative time

ensure the change does not grossly advantage/disadvantage any student

advise changes to the published schedule in writing to the affected

students, KLA Head Teachers, Year Adviser, Head Teacher [Senior

Studies] and the Principal

ensure ‘adequate notice’ (defined at SGHS as ‘at least two weeks’) in

all the steps above

3.4 Submission of Tasks/Completion of Tasks

1. Students must normally submit tasks with a due date by that date in their

normal class time to their class teacher. It is the responsibility of the student to

arrange submission of the task in the event of absence. Submissions regarding

extraordinary contingencies may be considered (e.g. flood, serious accident).

A task submitted late will normally be awarded 0 but will count as attempting

the task (see 3.7, point 2).

2. Where a student is absent for an assessment task they must supply satisfactory

evidence including medical certificate (where appropriate) which explains their

absence. Submissions must be made to the KLA Head Teacher/s within 2 days

of the due date of the task.

3. In the event that the Medical Certificate is accepted, the student is allowed to

complete the task without penalty as soon as they return to school. This must

occur within one week of the scheduled date, otherwise an alternative task or

estimated result will be given (at the discretion of the KLA Head Teacher).

4. 1. Where a student is suspended from school at the time an assessment is due

the student must make arrangements to submit the task by the due date.

2. A student on suspension is expected to attend for assessment tasks unless

the Principal considers that their presence presents an unacceptable risk

to others.

5. With the exception of computer-based courses, the use of computers in the

preparation and presentation of assessment tasks is optional. Students using

computers must accept responsibility for the loss of any data or the non-

completion of tasks due to computer related problems. Any consideration for

non-completion of a task due to computer failure must be supported by

evidence of substantial work, which should include:

written pages

printed draft copies

USB drive with backup files.

An invoice from a recognised computer repair specialist may be

accepted as evidence of computer failure.

6. Where an estimate is given this effectively counts as ‘completing the task’ in

relation to the requirement that students complete more than 50% of the

assessment.


Page 7

7. Where a student is absent during a major examination period the school must be

notified on or before the day and any tasks missed must be completed in the first

available time slot and not later than one week after that student’s final exam (subject

to acceptance of any medical certificate). Where possible the exam will be

rescheduled during the exam period.

8. A student who knows they will be absent in advance of an assessment date must

notify their individual class teacher via a ‘non-completion of task’ form prior to their

absence and negotiate alternative arrangements.

9. When a student is absent for a task or fails to submit a task it is their responsibility to

submit a ‘non-completion of task’ form together with a medical certificate or a

statutory declaration to the relevant KLA Head Teacher, within 2 days of the due date

of the task, who will determine the course of action.

10. In the event of proven malpractice in any assessment task the student will be awarded

0 for the task and it will not count as attempting the task (see 3.7, point 2).

11. In the event that the class teacher is absent on the day a task is due, the KLA Head

Teacher will make alternative arrangements to receive the students’ work.

12. In the event that the class teacher is absent on the day a task is to be completed, the

assessment should go ahead as planned. Where this is not practical it should be

rescheduled at the earliest appropriate date.

13. a) Students who are failing to meet assessment requirements must be advised in

writing and given an indication of what is necessary to enable them to meet

requirements.

b) When students have received a Letter of Concern for non-submitted work they

must resolve this within 5 days of the date of the letter or they cannot represent the

school at any level or attend any extra curricula functions or non-mandatory

excursions. *This is giving the students 5 days grace to resolve the problem without

penalty.

If the LOC is for diligence and sustained effort or attendance this must be resolved

within two weeks of the date of the letter or they cannot represent the school at any

level or attend any extra curricula functions or non-mandatory excursions. *This is

giving the students 10 days grace to resolve the problem without penalty

14. Students accumulating their HSC (either enrolled part time or concurrently studying

Preliminary and HSC course) are expected to meet all assessment requirements in the

same way as all other students.

15. Students accelerating in a particular course are expected to complete all assessment

requirements in that course, the same as all other students.

16. Where a student changes course, or enrols late in a course from another school their

assessment rank is to be based on their performance, relative to other students doing

the course, in those tasks which occur following the date of enrolment/change of

course.


Page 8

3.5 Recording & Reporting of Assessment Results

1. Assessment results must be recorded in a KLA register which is computerised

and saved to the server. A back up copy must also be kept by the KLA.

These records must show the results on all tasks to date and the current

cumulative rank of all students.

2. Meaningful feedback should be provided to students on each assessment task.

Written tasks will be returned to the student with a mark (together with

written and/or verbal comment).

For practical/performance tasks students will be given their result

(together with written and/or verbal comment).

3. After each assessment task students will be given information on their current

assessed rank in the course.

4. The rank shown on written school reports will normally reflect the current

assessed rank of the student in each course.

3.6 Review of Assessment Results

1. Students must check assessment results and progressive rank within the course

at the time results are given for each task.

2. Where a student is dissatisfied with the assessment procedure they may refer

the matter to a School Review Panel (comprising the Year Adviser and Head

Teacher [Senior Studies]). This panel will determine whether:

the policy is being followed

the assessment is being carried out as per handbook and calendar

Board of Studies guidelines are being followed.

3. Concerns with assessment procedure must be raised by the student as soon as

practical after the task is completed (normally within 48 hours) or, for a

submitted task, by the due date.

4. Where a student is dissatisfied with the decision of a teacher with regard to an

assessment result the KLA Head Teacher will arbitrate.

5. Concerns with Assessment results in a particular task must be raised by the

student as soon as practical after the results are given (normally within 48

hours).

6. A student may appeal to the Board of Studies on the basis that the matter has

not been resolved by the School Review Panel with regard to:

School Assessment program meeting Board requirements

School Assessment program is being adhered to

Computation or clerical errors in determining assessment results.


Page 9

3.7 Notification of Students at Risk of Not Meeting Requirements

The Board of Studies requirements for the satisfactory completion of a course are:

1. follow the course set down by the Board of Studies

2. completion of more than 50% of the assessment schedule in that subject

3. application with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and

experiences provided in the course by the school

4. achieve at least some of the course outcomes

In the event that a student is at risk of failing to satisfy the requirements in a course the

relevant KLA Head Teacher will ensure that a written warning is issued to both the

student and parent/guardian. This warning, based on Board of Studies draft format,

will indicate specifically in what area the student is failing and give an indication of

what the student must do to rectify the situation. At least two warnings will be issued

in time for the student to rectify the situation. At least two warnings will be issued in

time for the student to rectify the situation before a ‘U’ determination is made. A copy

of all warning letters are kept in the students file and a documented record is on RISC.

The student has the right of appeal against a ‘U’ determination. In the first instance

the school review panel will consider the appeal. In the event that the student is

dissatisfied with the outcome they may seek a review of the matter by the Board of

Studies.

As a guideline students will be expected to attend at least 85% of lessons. If a

student’s overall school attendance drops to 85% the Head Teacher Administration

will issue a warning letter.

If a student’s attendance in a particular course drops to 85% the KLA Head Teacher

will issue a warning letter.

Attendance is not in itself a reason for a student to be found unsatisfactory in a course

but, where no reasonable effort is made to catch up on missed work, may be an

indication that the student is not prepared to make a sustained and diligent effort.

In areas of uncertainty or dispute, this Policy is to be interpreted consistent with Board

of Studies requirements and guidelines.

Students will be sent ‘N’ award warning letters from the Head Teacher [Senior

Studies] if they are deemed ‘unsatisfactory’ in any subject. Students must resolve

these ‘letters of concern’ if they wish to obtain a satisfactory grade in the HSC for that

subject.

References, Bibliographies and Quotations using the Harvard

Style of Referencing

This information provides guidance on referencing following the Harvard Style of referencing.

Why is referencing so important?

1. References acknowledge that part of your work is based on the work and material of

others.

2. An accurate reference enables the reader to refer directly to your source and so to evaluate

how you have used that material to develop your own ideas.

3. The bibliography, which is a list of references in alphabetical order, indicates to the reader

the range and nature of your source materials.

4. Failure to acknowledge that your ideas have come from other authors, whether from a

book, journal, and website or spoken communication may be construed as plagiarism.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the taking of another’s ideas and passing them off as your own. This means that

if you copy an idea, argument or phrase and do not include the reference next to it, then it will

be assumed that it is all your own work. This is unacceptable in assessment work and it will incur severe penalties.

How to refer in your work without plagiarising:

A. Reporting using paraphrase

The purpose of an essay, or report, is to convey your understanding of the subject matter and

associated ideas and theories. To use the ideas of others it is generally necessary to

paraphrase.

Use your own words to summarise the main points, ideas or findings from your

source.

Include the reference to the source by giving the author's surname and the date of

publication

For example: If the name occurs naturally in the sentence, the year is given in

parentheses: Rayner (1986) describes the stages of development in the human lifecycle.

Or if the name does not occur naturally in the sentence, both the name and date are given

in parentheses: An individual's life can be seen to develop through particular stages

(Rayner, 1986).

If there is more than one author give all the surnames at the first mention e.g. (Barker,

Pistrang & Elliott, 1994). On subsequent mentions if there are more than two authors,

use just the first author and add "et al." e.g. (Barker et al., 1994). [“et al.” means “and

others”. NB there is a full stop after al.


Page 11

B. Direct Quotation

In some subjects it may be appropriate, or necessary, to use direct quotations. A quotation is

the use of the exact words of a writer.

To be used when the author expresses an idea in such a way that you cannot improve

upon it, e.g. a particularly apt phrase or a graphic description.

Keep it as brief as possible.

Include the author, date and page number in your text.

Add the full reference to your bibliography

For a short quotation of 1 or 2 lines

Include it in your sentence.

Use single quotation marks.

For example:

Northedge suggests that students are most easily distracted when they do not understand an

aspect of their work and find themselves 'drifting in a sea of meaninglessness'. (Northedge,

1990, p.10)

For a long quotation consisting of at least one sentence:

Begin on a new line

Indent for whole quotation

Use exact wording and punctuation

Do not use quotation marks (except where used by the original author)

Use single spacing

Use three dots if you omit some of the original words

Use square brackets if you insert words of your own

C. Referencing Websites

Follow the same order for citing online sources in text, as you do for citing printed sources,

e.g. Surname of the author followed by the year of publication.

Web addresses can be given directly in the text using angle brackets (< >) to isolate them

from any sentence punctuation.

For Example:

Details are available from the department's Web site <http://www.finance.gov.au>.

You must specify the date on which you accessed the item, since Web documents

can change or disappear at any time.

If a Web document includes both a date of creation and a date it was last updated,

use only the date it was last updated.

If you find a document on the Web which is a series of linked pages, use the

information from the main or "home" page.

If you have trouble identifying the title, look at the top of the Web page above

FILE on your browser.

The date a Web document was created is usually listed right at the bottom of the

document.


Page 12

Compiling a Bibliography or a list of References at the end of a

piece of work

A Reference List must include every source (book, chapter or article) that you have

cited in your writing.

A Bibliography contains all of the above plus your background reading, where some

sources have not been cited.

The first item in each reference is always the surname of the first author. These

surnames are arranged in alphabetical order to form the list. If you have more than

one item by a specific author they should be listed chronologically (earliest first).

Required information varies for each reference depending whether your source is a

book, an article or chapter within a book, a journal article, website or unpublished

material.

You should punctuate each reference as illustrated in the examples below.

How to reference for:

Books

The reference must include the following:

Author's(s') surnames and initials

Date of publication in brackets

Title (in italics, bold or underlined)

Edition (if not the first)

Place of publication

Publisher

e.g. Rayner, E. (1986). Human Development. London: Unwin Hyman.

Websites

Author's(s') surname(s) and initials- if available

Date in brackets

Title (underline or use italics) [online]

Available from: URL: http:// internet address/ remote path

Date accessed (in square brackets)

eg. Shields, G. & Walton, G. (2001). Cite them right! [online] Available from:

http://www.unn.ac.uk/central/isd/cite.htm

Non Attempts

A non-attempt is worse than scoring 0 in an assessment, as it indicates that a serious effort

was not made. Examples of non-attempts are – not putting pen to paper; writing irrelevant

information; racist or derogatory comments on minority groups or a particular group of

people.

If a non-attempt is recorded the assessment task must be done again or students will be

withdrawn from the course.

HSC Examination The examination in Construction is a two-hour written paper.

Workplacement: Workplacement is a HSC (BOS) requirement and must be attended

and completed. Workplacement will be arranged by a third party, students are responsible for communicating with employers and have paper work returned to the delivering teacher ONE week before Workplacement start date. Failure to attend or complete arranged Workplacement will incur a charge ($) to arrange an alternative placement date.
