WHAT IS ASSESSMENT?
Assessment is how teachers measure your success as a learner.
ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING IN YEAR 7
Assessment of Learning determines your level of performance on a specific task or at the conclusion of a unit of work, a school year or stage. The information gained from this type of assessment is often used in reporting.
ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING IN YEAR 7
Assessment For Learning gives you opportunities to produce work that leads to the development of knowledge, understanding and skills. Teachers decide how and when to assess your achievement, as they plan the work you will do, using a whole range of strategies including self-assessment and peer-assessment.
Assessment Of Learning (Formal) - Assessment that usually occurs at
the end of a unit to check your overall understanding
Assessment For Learning (Informal) - Assessment that checks your
progress along the way to make sure that you are learning as the teacher moves through the unit of work
o Assessment Tasks/ Unit Tests o Projects/ Research assignments o Oral engagement/ presentations o Practical tasks & artworks o Portfolios o Practical performances &
compositions o Half yearly & Yearly examinations
o Observation of student learning o Classroom activities o Homework assignments o Mini tests o Group and pair work o Experiments/ performances o Bookwork

HOMEWORK GUIDELINES
Homework is a very important part of learning. You are responsible for regularly reviewing and consolidating the work which has been covered in lessons at home. This is complemented by formal work including projects and assessment tasks that are set by the class teacher.
Homework is an important part of the Curriculum but varies with different subjects and individual student needs.
Homework will not necessarily be given every night in each subject. It is expected that you develop a pattern of regular revision.
Homework needs to be balanced with family, social and extracurricular activities.
You can help yourself by:
o writing down all details of homework in your school diary; o recording due dates for tasks and major assignments in your diary; o planning your homework task completion appropriately - not leaving work to the last
minute; o ensuring your homework is completed to a high standard and o submitting assigned work punctually.
EXPECTED STUDENT CONDUCT DURING EXAMINATIONS
Exam conditions shall apply from when the first student enters the classroom until the dismissal of students.
1. NO electronic devices, except approved calculators, are to be used during any examination.
2. Complete silence MUST be adhered to whilst you are in the classroom/hall. 3. You MUST sit facing the front and are NOT to turn around or look at any other paper 4. You are NOT to communicate with any other student in any way. 5. You must remain for the entire duration of every exam. 6. You MUST obey all reasonable instructions given by supervisors. 7. Borrowing is NOT permitted. 8. All enquiries are to be addressed to classroom teacher by raising your hand and
waiting patiently.
If the above examination rules are not followed, a warning will be given. If the inappropriate behaviour continues, you will be given a zero mark and removed from the classroom/hall and referred to the Head Teacher.
If you are absent from an examination, you MUST provide a satisfactory reason (e.g. a Doctor’s Certificate for illness) immediately upon returning to school to the Head Teacher. If a satisfactory reason is not provided, you will receive a zero mark for this assessment.

PROCEDURE FOR MISSED OR LATE SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS
When an assessment task is during class time, you must attend school for all lessons on that day. (i.e. a student cannot miss lessons to prepare for their assessment task).
ABSENCE DUE TO ILLNESS / MISADVENTURE
Students who are absent from school on the due date of an assessment task, examination or the day a hand-in task is due, must supply acceptable documentation; e.g.: Doctors Certificate for illness, accompanied by a note from a parents/ carer explaining the reason for the absence, to the relevant Head Teacher on their first day back at school.
This must be done on the student’s first day back at school.
If the Head Teacher approves the Illness/ Misadventure, the Head Teacher will then determine the resolution of this task; e.g.; completion of the task or an estimate.
If no satisfactory reason is given, or if this process is not followed, the student will receive a zero mark for the task.
OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO ILLNESS OR MISADVENTURE
When you present for an examination or assessment task while ill, or fall ill during the course of the examination or assessment task, you may make a claim for misadventure.

This must be done on the student’s first day back at school.
If the Head Teacher approves the Illness/ Misadventure, the Head Teacher will then determine the resolution of this task; e.g.; completion of the task or an estimate.
If no satisfactory reason is given, or if this process is not followed, the student will receive a zero mark for the task.

Page | 6
Teachers may also require you to hand in a printed copy of the task. Any such instructions will be made clear to you on the assessment task notification.
When this is required or permitted, your task may be submitted on USB or by email. When electronic submission does occur, the following rules will apply:

2. The school will only accept assessment tasks which are written in applications to which school staff have ready access, and in a format which can be read by most school computers.
3. The assessment task should be readily identifiable.

The school will not be responsible for not receiving emails, however, it Is recommended you maintain a copy of your sent email as verification if a problem arises.
ALLEGED MALPRACTICE IN ASSESSMENT TASKS OR EXAMINATIONS
Malpractice, or cheating, is defined as “dishonest behaviour by a student that gives them an unfair advantage over others.”
Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work and pretending that it is your own.
Examples of malpractice:
Malpractice may include:
o plagiarism (copying someone else’s work in part or in whole, and claiming that it is your work);
o collusion (allowing someone to copy your work); o forbidden aids (this would include bringing into an examination situation secret notes,
or any helpful electronic device not specifically allowed, whether or not it is used). o using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet or any other source
without reference to the source o building on the ideas of another person without referring to the source
Allegations of plagiarism or other forms of malpractice will be reported to the Head Teacher who will investigate the matter and, if proven, a zero will be awarded for the section that has been plagiarised, or for the whole ask.
Strategies to assist you:
We attempt to assist you to avoid malpractice by:
1. Classroom and other teachers instructing you in good and ethical practice. 2. Signs being displayed in appropriate areas, including the Resource Centre, explaining
aspects of good practice.

PROCEDURES FOR YOU TO FOLLOW WHEN INVOLVED IN NON-SCHOOL SPORT AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
Lake Munmorah High School supports students who participate in both school-based and non-school-based sporting and other activities.
Generally, school-based sporting or other activities do not impact on the distribution/sitting/handing in of assessment tasks since school routines and calendars accommodate and communicate this information in advance.
The following guidelines apply for students who participate in non-school-based sporting or other activities where there is the potential to impact upon the distribution/sitting/handing in of assessment tasks:
1. Student provides teacher with at least 2 weeks’ notice of the activity occurring. This must include a letter from the parent/caregiver that lists the date, timing, event and location of the activity.
Where a student’s ongoing involvement in an activity is unpredictable (e.g. progressing to the next round of a sporting fixture) this must be communicated to the teacher as part of the original request.
2. Teacher informs Head Teacher.
3. Depending on the nature of the task, a decision is made to provide an alternative option for the student.
4. Student is informed as soon as convenient of the arrangements.
