Nowra High School - Assessment Policy
1. BOARD OF STUDIES TEACHING & EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS (BOSTES) A. What is the difference between Preliminary HSC and HSC
Courses? Preliminary Higher School Certificate (HSC) courses are studied before HSC courses in a subject. Preliminary HSC course work is regarded as assumed knowledge for the award of the Higher School Certificate although the major focus of the HSC exam is on the HSC course. Students must have satisfactorily completed the Preliminary HSC Course for a subject before being considered eligible for entry into an HSC course. HSC courses begin in Term 4 of the year preceding the year in which the subject will be examined at HSC level.
B. What Does "Satisfactorily Completed" Mean? To be eligible for the award of the Higher School Certificate, you must:
i. have a satisfactory record of attendance. As a general rule, a student who has missed in excess of 15% of the available school days is not likely to have achieved the outcomes established for the course and therefore, would not be deemed to have satisfactorily completed a HSC course.
ii. complete the requirements of the course as specified by the syllabus. This
includes mandatory oral and practical work, and work placements for School VET and/or TAFE VET.
iii. make a serious attempt at assessment tasks which contribute to more than 50% of
available school assessment marks. iv. make a serious attempt at all exams set as part of the assessment program.
Satisfactory study of a course involves not only the completion of assessment tasks but satisfactory participation and progress in ALL aspects of that course.
If the Principal considers that you have not satisfactorily completed a Preliminary HSC Course, you may be considered ineligible for entry into the HSC course for that subject.
The BOSTES expects students to undertake all assigned assessment tasks. Failure to complete assessment tasks will jeopardise your satisfactory completion of HSC courses.
C. HSC Course Assessment Mark
Your HSC course assessment will be based on your performance in what are called "assessment tasks". Schools are required to set tasks which will be used to measure your performance in all the components of a course specified by the Board of Studies Teaching & Educational Standards, not just those which can be measured in an examination. This means that you will be assessed on field work, research skills, lab work, extended essays, oral work etc. The individual components of a course have a weighting specified by the Board of Studies Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES). These weightings form the
Nowra High School – 2016 Year 12 Assessment Booklet
basis of the assessment schemes formulated by Nowra High School, which are explained in the subject guides following these introductory notes. Important Note: The Board of Studies Teaching & Educational Standards expects students to undertake all assessment tasks assigned to them. Failure to complete assessment tasks will jeopardise your satisfactory completion of HSC courses. D. Vocational Education and Training (VET) course information: Qualifications Students who are assessed as competent in all units delivered as part of their course will be eligible for an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Certificate. Students who do not achieve competency in all units will be eligible for a Statement of Attainment towards a Certificate. Competency based assessment The courses within the VET Curriculum Framework are competency-based courses. The BOSTES and VET Quality Framework require that competency-based approach to assessment is used. Assessment must meet the requirements of the subject training package. Students in VET courses work to develop competencies, skills and knowledge described by each unit of competency. To be assessed as competent a student must demonstrate to a qualified assessor that they can effectively carry out tasks to industry standards. Students are judged based on their performance against a prescribed standard, not the performance of other students. Students will be progressively assessed as ‘competent’ or ‘not yet competent’ in individual units of competency. N determinations If a student receives an N-determination, the course will not count towards the HSC; however, units of competency achieved will still count towards an AQF VET Statement of Attainment. External Assessment (optional HSC examination) Students completing a VET course are eligible to sit a written HSC examination which may be used in the calculation of an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). The examination is independent of the competency-based assessment undertaken during the course and has no impact on the eligibility of a student to receive an AQF VET Statement of Attainment or Certificate. Work Placement Work placement is a mandatory HSC requirement within the VET Curriculum Framework and appropriate hours have been assigned to each HSC VET course within the Framework according to the qualification being undertaken. Non-completion of work placement is grounds for issuing an N-determination and withholding the course.
E. Advice for students about HSC assessment
Students will find information and advice about HSC assessment in the Assessment section of the BOSTES Students Online (http://studentsonline.bos.nsw.edu.au/) website. Information includes what to expect with assessment tasks, what assessment ranks are and how to check them after the exams, and the guide to completing assessment tasks honestly and with confidence.

Nowra High School - Assessment Policy
2. ASSESSMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES
A. When Does Assessment Occur? i. Assessment in Higher School Certificate courses begins in Term 4 of the
preceding year and continues until the end of Term 3 of the HSC year. Specific details are given in the individual subject guides, which follow these introductory notes.
ii. In subjects where the timing of assessment tasks is not specified in this manual, a
timetable of assessment tasks will be negotiated between students and the class teacher. Any clashes, overloads, etc. will be dealt with by the Deputy Principal supervising your year.
iii. The times specified in this manual are a guide only. NHS reserves the right to
make any changes as are deemed necessary. You will be notified of any changes.
iv. You will be provided with an assessment notification indicating the exact date and
nature of an assessment task at least five school days before the task. v. You should enter all tasks on a yearly assessment planner. Should details of an
assessment task be given when you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that you find out those details on your return to school. Make sure you check with your teacher to determine if there have been any changes to the assessment schedule when you return to school.
B. What Does Malpractice mean? Dishonest behaviour carried out for the purpose of gaining unfair advantage in the assessment process constitutes malpractice, or cheating. Malpractice in any form, including plagiarism, is unacceptable i. If part or all of the work you submit is the work of another person you are guilty of
PLAGIARISM (copying) which is a form of cheating. Material copied directly from reference books, other students or from the internet are examples of plagiarism.
ii. If you are guilty of malpractice, you will get zero for the entire assessment task
and receive an N warning for that task. Continued instances of malpractice may result in you getting an N determination for the subject.
iii. Although you will receive no marks, you will need to resubmit the task in order to
meet Board of Studies requirements for the satisfactory completion of assessment tasks leading to the award of the HSC.
iv. Your parents/carers will be informed. v. Repeated instances of malpractice will be dealt with using the school’s discipline
policy and may result in suspension or possible expulsion for continued disobedience.
Nowra High School – 2016 Year 12 Assessment Booklet
C. What Do I Need To Know About Assessment Tasks? i. These may take the form of an assignment, project, research essay, written task,
class essay, practical work, field work, oral presentation or report, skills test, topic test, open book test, examination etc.
ii. (a) All tasks are to be submitted and\or sat, on or by the due date.
(b) If for some reason you are unable to submit the task or attend school you must ring the school to notify of your absence on the day of the due date.
(c) It remains your responsibility to ensure the task is submitted and a valid acknowledgment of receipt provided
(d) HSC externally marked assessments must be submitted on the due date set down by BOSTES
(e) If an assessment task is not submitted on the due date a medical certificate and/or other supporting documentation must be provided, justifying late submission of the task covering the entire period of absence. This must be attached to a completed “Assessment Missed Due to Illness/Misadventure” form (Appendix 2).
(f) If you know in advance that you will be unable to attend school or submit and assessment task on the due date because of school or other business, it is your responsibility to submit an “Assessment To Be Missed Due to School/Other Business’ form (Appendix 3) to the Head Teacher or Subject coordinator concerned before the due date. However, leave will NOT automatically be granted simply because an application is made.
(g) If for some reason you are unable to sit an assessment task because of an unexpected illness or exceptional circumstances, a written application for leave should be lodged with the Deputy Principal for Year 12 on your first day of return to school after the assessment task. The application should be written on the form, “Assessment Missed Due to Illness/Misadventure (Appendix 2) and it should be accompanied by appropriate corroborating evidence such as a medical certificate. If leave is granted, the Deputy Principal will authorise you to approach the Head Teacher concerned, who will organise another time for you to complete the assessment task, at the earliest opportunity.
(h) The Department of Education (DOE) requires that application for special leave must be lodged with the Principal for consideration. However, leave will not be automatically granted simply because an application has been made.
(i) If leave is granted, you will either be given the same task, a substitute task, or, if the missed task is difficult to duplicate, the Principal will authorise the use of an estimate based on other appropriate evidence.
iii. Extensions for take home assessment tasks will only be considered if written application is made to your class teacher prior to the due date, giving a valid reason for the request on the form ‘Application for Assessment Extension” (Appendix 4). Approval for extension will be authorised by the Head Teacher for the subject. In all cases, an extension will NOT automatically be granted simply because an application is made.
Nowra High School – 2016 Year 12 Assessment Booklet
iv. Where an assessment task is submitted after the due date, or an application for leave has not been approved, or if your application for an extension has not been granted, you will be awarded a ‘Zero’ mark.
v. If you fail to submit or sit an assessment task you will receive zero. Although you will receive no marks you are required to satisfactorily complete the task in order to meet BOSTES requirements for the satisfactory completion of assessment tasks leading to the award of the HSC.
vi. The work submitted must be your own. For this reason, you may be asked to discuss your assessment task with your teacher either before or after you submit the final draft for marking.
vii. Even if you submit a task on time, if it is inadequate and deemed by your
teacher to be a “Non-Serious Attempt”, as far as “satisfactory completion”’ of the course is concerned, then it will be deemed that you have not submitted the task. In this case, you will receive zero and you will receive an N Warning for this task and will be required to re-sit or re-submit the task.
viii. Students cannot absent themselves from timetabled classes to complete
assessment tasks. This type of action will be treated as truancy and dealt with accordingly.
D. What Rules apply to Assessment Tasks? The following rules laid down by the Board of Studies Teaching and Educational Standards apply to the HSC, and all assessment tasks conducted at NHS, including Half-Yearly and Trial HSC examinations.
You must: Follow the teacher/supervisor’s instructions and behave in a polite and courteous manner towards the teacher/supervisor(s) and other candidates.
You must NOT: (a) Take a mobile electronic device into the assessment room. Mobile electronic
devices must be switched off and left in bags (b) Eat during an assessment task (c) Speak to any person other than the supervisor during an assessment (d) Behave in any way likely to disturb the work of other candidates or upset the
conduct of the assessment (e) Attend an assessment while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs (f) Take into the assessment room any books, notes or equipment other than those
specified before the examination\assessment (g) Cheat, or in any other way behave dishonestly during an assessment.
If you do not comply with the rules set down for assessment tasks, your assessment may be cancelled and action taken under the NHS Welfare and Discipline Policy.
E What else do I have to do to complete the HSC course? In addition to assessment tasks, you will be given other tasks which are an integral part of the learning process. If you fail to complete these task within the given time frame, and to a satisfactory standard, you risk being deemed to have not satisfactorily completed the
Nowra High School – 2016 Year 12 Assessment Booklet
HSC course and may receive an N-warning notification. This could put you at risk of not satisfactorily meeting course requirements as set down for the HSC by BOSTES.
F. When is a non-completion (‘N’) warning letter issued? A ‘N’ (non-completion of course requirements) Warning Letter may be issued in the following circumstance
• A student is absent from an assessment task, and has not provided acceptable evidence to justify that absence on the first day of return to School.
• A student is found to be cheating in an assessment task. • A student is deemed to have breached principles of academic integrity and ethical
scholarship. • A student has plagiarised work from any source, without providing appropriate
acknowledgement of the use of another's work. • A student has provided a false explanation for the late submission of an
assessment task • A student has behaved in manner that is deemed to have adversely affected the
performance of others during the sitting of an assessment task or examination. • A student has made a non-serious attempt at a task.
G. What is the process for the review/appeal of an assessment task? i. Marks gained in assessment tasks can only be queried at the time the tasks are
returned to you. In the first instance you should approach your classroom teacher and/or the Head Teacher of the subject for a mark review.
ii. If you wish to request an appeal you need to lodge your appeal on the “Assessment Appeal” form available from the Deputy Principal supervising Year 12. This form will be forwarded to the Assessment Review Panel
iii. Any review undertaken will consider if the assessment task and/or the processes were appropriate for the stage of the course being assessed.
iv. All completed appeal forms will be considered by the Assessment Review Panel. v. The panel’s decision will be final, noted on the student submitted appeal form and
the student will be informed by a representative of the panel or the Head Teacher for the course.
H. Principal's Decision In all matters relating to the satisfactory completion of assessed and non-assessed tasks, the decision of the Principal is final.
I. What about TVET Assessment? i. Students undertaking a TAFE VET (TVET) course(s) will be given details of the
assessment program in that course by their VET teacher.
J. Where to Get Advice
• Deputy Principal in charge of Year 12, Yr 12 Year Adviser, Careers Adviser • The Head Teacher or Subject Co-ordinator of the course concerned, or your class
teacher.
K. What are my Responsibilities? It is your responsibility to: i. familiarise yourself with the BOSTES requirements for the satisfactory completion
of a course and for satisfactory attendance (and comply with them).
