Assessment Procedures The Record of School Achievement (RoSA)
The Record of School Achievement (RoSA) is the credential for students who leave school after Year 10 and before they receive their Higher School Certificate (HSC). The RoSA has been designed to provide grades for all Stage 5 (Year 10) and Stage 6 (Preliminary – Year 11) courses completed during secondary education. The RoSA for students completing Stage 5 courses in 2018 will list all mandatory and additional Stage 5 courses along with the grade awarded.
To be eligible to complete the Stage 5 component of the RoSA:
Students will complete the outcomes in all courses studied for the RoSA in 2018.
Students will have positive attendance until the last day of Term 4.
Students will work with sustained effort and diligence to complete all set work in each subject.
Students will submit or sit for all tasks and examinations to complete the requirements of the RoSA.
The RoSA credential will report on your achievements in Stage 5 courses, using A to E grades.
Grades for courses in Year 10 will be based on your results in assessment tasks you have completed throughout the year. These grades will be reported to the NSW Education Standards Authority.
Course Grading
The grades awarded for each course appearing on a students’ Record of School Achievement (RoSA)
are based on students' performances on a number of assessment tasks throughout the year. These
tasks will measure students' achievement of the knowledge and skills objectives of each course. In
addition to this booklet, students will be notified of upcoming tasks via a task proforma outlining the
specific objectives of the task. This will be issued at least 2 weeks prior to the upcoming task. It is the
student’s responsibility to obtain any information relevant to the task if presented on a day the
student is absent from school. This can be achieved by approaching a member of staff or
accessing the task via the school website: www.peakhurst-h.schools.nsw.edu.au/
Late Submission of RoSA Assessment Tasks
Apart from exceptional circumstances, all work must be submitted on time. If a student knows that
they will be absent on the due date of the task, they must submit the task before the due date. Any
task submitted after the due date will be issued a zero mark unless appropriate documentation such as
a Doctors Certificate is provided. Doctor’s certificates are needed for legitimate lateness due to illness
and submission of such tasks will be considered on their merit. If a zero mark is given, assessment
tasks will still be required for submission in order to satisfy course outcomes (which contribute
to the RoSA grade). An N-Warning Letter will be issued for non-compliance with these assessment
procedures. For Group, speaking and practical tasks, refer to the particular Faculty for submission
criteria.
Any task submitted after the due date will be issued a zero mark unless appropriate documentation such as a
Doctors Certificate is provided.

RoSA Assessment and Year 10 Final School Report
This booklet contains information about the RoSA Assessment. The results of the assessment outlined
in this booklet will be recorded on the student's RoSA in the form of a grade.
At the conclusion of Semester 2, students will receive a Year 10 Report which contains the Final
School Assessment for each subject they have studied. Note: Plagiarism is unacceptable in all forms. Students found to be plagiarising will receive zero marks. All work must be put into your own words and cutting and pasting from any source is considered a form of plagiarism.
Plagiarism – ‘the imitation or use of another’s ideas and manner of expressing them to be passed off as one’s own’
Source: Macquarie Concise Dictionary – 3rd edition.
Any student giving their original work task to another student to plagiarise may also incur a zero
mark.
