Stage 4 - Year 8

Year 8 students continue to study English, Mathematics, Science, HSIE (Human Society and Its Environment - including Geography and History), PDHPE (Personal Development, Health & Physical Education), Drama, Music, Technological and Applied studies (TAS) and Visual Arts. They will also continue to study one of the four Languages - Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish throughout the year. A variety of electives are offered to students in Year 8. Electives offered include Languages (Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish), Drama, European Studies, Photographic and Digital Media, Digital Technologies, Food Design, Timber, Illustration, Visual Arts and Visual Design. Selection of these electives will take place early in Term 3 for Year 8 students. The Parents page on the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has information about Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 5 and Stage 6. It also has links to other websites that may be of interest to both students and parents. This booklet outlines the key assessments students will be required to complete in the subjects they study in Year 8. Students should study the information provided to gain an understanding of when and in what form the assessment will be offered. Please be aware that times are indicative and may be varied with notice from the teacher. I am confident that this booklet will provide a useful guide to study at St Ives High School.

2018 YEAR 8 ASSESSMENTS Regular Homework Students have non-assessment assignments and regular homework that aims to develop skills and enhance understanding. The following guide does not include this homework. Completing homework is one of the conditions of completing a course satisfactorily. Students “must apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences in the course provided by the school”. Advice for Assessment Tasks Students are responsible for ensuring they attend all of their scheduled exams and assessment tasks and for:

• carefully checking their assessment dates and the venue • having the correct, approved equipment for each exam • wearing full school uniform • behaving in a manner that does not interfere with the performance of others • leaving mobile phones and electronic/digital devices switched to silent and

inside their bags Taking holidays with school terms Students must inform their teachers if they have reason to expect that they might be absent from an assessment task. Such notice should be given as soon as possible. Vacations taken outside normal school holidays will not be accepted as a valid reason for absence from assessment tasks, unless granted written permission from the Principal. In these circumstances, hand-in tasks should be given/sent to the teacher before the anticipated absence or on the due date (emailed etc). Alternative arrangements for missed written exams should be negotiated with the Head Teacher of the subject. Failure to submit assessment task on the due date Hand-in or online assessments: the completed portion of the assessment must be submitted digitally. On return to school, students • are to provide appropriate documentation from your parent or doctor to your

teacher as soon as you return to school; • should approach their class teacher to make arrangements for the missed task

or an alternative task to be completed. Failure to do so will result in the student losing 10% each day, after three days the student will receive zero (TAS and PDHPE will be negotiated with class teacher).

If Suspended on the day of an Assessment Task Unless forbidden by the Principal a suspended student is required to attend school during the time in which the Assessment Task is being conducted, unless an alternative arrangement is made with the teacher / Head Teacher. If the Assessment Task is in the form of a written submission, the student must arrange for it to be emailed, faxed or handed to the class teacher or relevant KLA Head Teacher by the due date. Failure to comply with the above will result in a zero (0) mark being awarded for the task.

2018 Year 8 Assessments – Page 5

Attendance Satisfactory completion of courses is judged, among other things, by student attendance and level of involvement in class, as well as the assignments and homework completed, and the level of achievement. School Review of Assessments Following discussion with the class teacher; students who do not agree with the teacher’s judgment of the worth of an individual assessment task or who consider that their final grade for any course is not correct (on the basis of feedback on their performance and results during the course), have a right to appeal to the Head Teacher KLA of the subject. Malpractice Any behaviour carried out for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage in the assessment process constitutes malpractice, or cheating. Students who cheat in an exam will be given a zero mark and other consequences. Malpractice in any form, including plagiarism, is unacceptable and may be awarded zero. Disability Provisions Students who believe they could be eligible for disability provisions during assessment tasks (such as separate supervision, rest breaks, writer etc) should apply to the Learning Support Teacher (Mr Daniel Moller). Students with Disability Confirmations from a medical professional should provide a copy with their application.
