Both Preliminary and HSC patterns must include:

at least 2 units of a Board Developed English Course

at least 6 units of Board Developed Courses

at least 3 courses of 2 unit value or greater

at most 6 units of courses in Science

Students will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the Principal’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:

a) followed the course developed or endorsed by the Board of Studies and

REQUIREMENTS OF THE BOARD OF STUDIES


ACCUMULATION OF THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

Students may accumulate HSC courses towards the Higher School Certificate over a maximum of five years.

Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)

Applications for each university course are ranked in order of merit using the ATAR. The ATAR indicates a student’s position in relation to their Year 12 cohort, including students who did not complete the HSC. An ATAR of 80.00 for example, indicates that the student has performed in the HSC better than 80 % of their Year 12 cohort.

ATAR Rules

Rule 1 - Eligibility for an ATAR

To be eligible for an ATAR a student must complete at least ten units of Board Developed Courses including at least two units of English. The Board Developed Courses must include at least three courses of two units or greater, and at least four subjects: see (a) below

Rule 2 - Calculation of the ATAR

The ATAR will be based on an aggregate of scaled marks in ten units of Board Developed Courses comprising:

The best two units of English and

The best eight units from the remaining units, subject to the provision that no more than two units of Category B courses be included

Important Notes:

a) A Subject is the general name given to an area of study. A Course is a branch of study within a subject. A subject may have several different courses, for example, with the subject English the courses will include English Standard, English Advanced, HSC English Extension 1, etc.

b) Students who are eligible for a ATAR under Rule 1 need to have completed at least eight units of Category A courses for their ATAR to be based on ten units.

5


PART B

Students must have:

1. A satisfactory record of attendance

2. A satisfactory record of application

3. Satisfactorily completed course requirements

4. Attended and seriously attempted Mid Course and Trial High School Certificate (HSC) examinations.

5. Completed the required assessment tasks.

1. Satisfactory Record of Attendance

Satisfactory attendance at school is required to achieve the outcomes of the course.

In circumstances where attendance is deemed unsatisfactory, the Principal may decide that sufficientCourse outcomes have not been achieved.

In this situation the student’s pattern of attendance will be reviewed. Following this review the student will be required to justify to the Principal that the record of attendance has not impeded achievement of sufficient course outcomes.

Where the Principal considers that a student’s pattern of attendance could result in the non-award of a HSC, the student must be warned and (if the student is under 18), the parents or caregiver immediately advised in writing.

Absences through illness/injury may be allowed if considered legitimate. Medical certificates will be accepted as satisfactory evidence of legitimate absence in the event of prolonged/recurring illness/injury. Parental or Carer contact with the school may be deemed satisfactory evidence of legitimate absence in certain circumstances. Contact preferably should be made prior to the due date. Contact on the due date will only be considered for extreme cases.

In cases of prolonged absence and where work is not possible or not done during the period of absence, the Principal will decide whether sufficient course outcomes have been met.

Under certain circumstances leave may be granted. This must be discussed and negotiated with the Principal in advance. Possible absence, such as that resulting from a student exchange, should be discussed with the Principal.

REQUIREMENTS OF KADINA HIGH CAMPUS


2. Satisfactory Record of Application

Satisfactory application is essential for the award of the Higher School Certificate. A judgement will be made by the Principal as to whether students have applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in a course by the school. In making this judgement, the Principal will take into account the degree of effort shown by students and their attitude to their studies.

In circumstances where application is unsatisfactory an ‘N’ determination may be made in the course or courses affected, and this may result in no HSC being awarded.

3. Satisfactory Completion of Course Requirements

A student will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the school’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has, by effort and achievement, indicated that he/she has followed the course laid down by the Board of Studies.

If such evidence does not exist, the school will apply the “N” indicator for the HSC course(s).

If students have engaged in or completed insufficient set tasks and have reached virtually no other course outcomes, they cannot be regarded as having satisfactorily completed a course.

Students will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if in the Principal’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:

a) followed the course developed or endorsed by the Board of Studies and

b) applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the course by the school and

c) achieved some or all of the course outcomes

Students will be deemed not to have satisfactorily completed a course if there is sufficient evidence of:

a) omission, to a significant degree, of experiences, which are integral requirements of the syllabus, eg. assignments, practical work, participation in class

b) preparation so trivial that poor examination performance is likely to result

c) failure to make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks which contribute in excess of 50 per cent of assessment marks available. Failure to make a genuine attempt at a particular task will score zero. It is a matter of the teacher’s, in consultation with the Head Teacher’s, professional judgement whether the attempt is a genuine one

4. Mid Course and Trial Higher School Certificate Examination

Students must present for each Mid Course and Trial HSC examination for which they enter. Special provision may apply in the event of illness/misadventure.

Students who do not make a serious attempt at an examination or whose examination paper contains frivolous or objectionable material, will not receive an award for the assessment task

5. Completion of Assessment Tasks

Students should complete all assessment tasks.Students must comply with the assessment requirements as published by the school.

7


INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY POLICY

Assessment tasks may only be submitted on a Digital Medium (ie. On disk, email etc), in the following cases:

the teacher of the course has given permission to the class in writing to submit in digital form, specifying file format

the student negotiates and receives, in writing (specifying file format), permission to submit in digital form at least 2 weeks prior to the due date

A student may only submit in digital form if all the following are satisfied:

the teacher believes it to be an appropriate form of submission

the student takes responsibility for the file being in the specified file format and medium

the student takes responsibility for replacing digital copies for any lost/crashed data within 24 hours of a written request from the teacher

NB: If a student submits a file format that is inappropriate or unreadable by school software, the assignment will be deemed NOT to have been submitted. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure this condition is satisfied.

Breakdown of a student’s computer hardware will only be accepted as a reason for extension if the student submits draft notes on the due date

STUDENT ASSESSMENT RECORD SCHEDULE

The school will issue information to each student detailing assessment procedures and faculty Student Assessment Schedules. The schedules should provide details of the:

1. components and weightings

2. types of assessment tasks which will be used

3. value of each task and

4. scheduling of each task

The ACTUAL DATE of each assessment task, will be confirmed with at least two weeks notice.

Any changes to the Assessment Schedules must be notified in writing at least 2 weeks before the change is effective.

Changes of Subjects / Courses / Units

The Board of Studies requires that the school only permit course changes up to that point where students can reasonably be expected to meet the new course’s outcomes.

8

While the school will make every attempt to conduct the assessment task when stated, circumstances may necessitate a change to these dates.


All decisions regarding changes of subjects/courses are at the discretion of the Principal.Higher School Certificate – Process for the Determination of

N Awards

You/Your Parents may be sent:

1st HSC ‘N’ Warning

2nd HSC ‘N’ Warning

Deputy Principal’s Letter of Concern

A Final Request to Complete Tasks

Notice of Higher School Certificate ‘N’ Determination

Principal’s Determination Form

By:

Your Teacher(s) / Head Teachers

Your Teacher(s) / Head Teachers

The Deputy Principal



The Principal

What this means:

A Higher School Certificate ‘N’ Warning is an official warning, as required by the Board of Studies, that you are failing to satisfy the requirements for the award of the Higher School Certificate. The Head Teacher will interview you about the difficulties you are having.

You have not responded to the previous ‘N’ Warning about your failure to meet requirements, or there are now new concerns. You will be interviewed again and the Head Teacher will request an interview with your parent(s).

The Deputy Principal will contact your parents about your continuing failure to meet requirements. They will be invited to an interview to help put together a plan for your success. You may be referred to the Learning Support Team. If you do not already have a Staff Mentor, one may be assigned to you to assist you to satisfy requirements.

You still have not completed the required tasks, and/or put in the required effort. This letter will set a deadline date for the completion of all required tasks and explain the consequences for you if you do not complete them by the set date.

The deadline date has passed, and you still have not completed the required tasks. As a result, this letter will inform your parents that a recommendation for an ‘N’ Determination will be given to the Principal.

This informs you officially that an ‘N’ Determination will be sent to the Board of Studies against your name in a subject or subjects.The Principal will explain to you the Review and Appeals Process which you may use if you believe that the ‘N’ Determination is incorrect, or if you believe that you have been treated unfairly.

9PART C - KADINA HIGH CAMPUS ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS

Once you have received a 2nd Higher School Certificate ‘N’ Warning in a subject or subjects, your progress will come under the attention of the Deputy Principal.

The Deputy Principal will make sure that you fully understand the consequences of your continuing failure to satisfy requirements.

This process is designed to provide you with clear information about those areas in the Higher School Certificate course with which you are experiencing difficulty. Each downward arrow between letters is representative of your failure to respond to the advice and concerns expressed by your teachers in the previous letter.

The purpose of this process is to give you early warning, to provide you with the time and opportunity to rectify those area (s) causing concern, and to provide you with the support you may need for success in the HSC.

This determination process will begin in Term IV of Year 11.It will normally finish in mid Term III of Year 12.


The Higher School Certificate (HSC) will commence in Term 4 and conclude with the HSC examinations in Term 4 of the following year.

Assessments for the HSC course will not commence before the completion of the Preliminary Program.

Marked assessment tasks will be handed back to each student personally.

Absences from a task:

a) Known Absencesi) before the task, you must negotiate, an alternative time with the class teacher or Head Teacher to complete or submit the task

b) Unexpected Absencesi) you should contact the school on the day of the task, to explain your absence

ii) for ongoing assessment tasks, submit the assessment task to the class teacher or Head Teacher on the first day of their return from the absence

For both a) and b) above, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher responsible for administering the task, before or during the next lesson in the subject, where a task has not been completed.

If a student knows that he/she will be absent for a reason deemed acceptable by the school on the day the assessment task is to be held, the student must negotiate an alternative time with the class teacher before the event.

Students must personally hand in their assessment tasks to the class teacher on or before the due date and time. In circumstances when students are unable to return to class teacher, assessment tasks should be handed to the Head Teacher of the relevant faculty or Deputy Principal.

The due date for any Shared curriculum assessment task will be scheduled for the end of a timetabled period for that class.

Students must have at least 2 weeks notice of changes to Assessment Schedules.

Any changes to the Assessment Schedules must be notified in writing to students.

Students must keep a current timetable of assessment tasks.

Parents/caregivers must be notified by letter when an assessment task is missed or zero score is awarded.

If you have concerns about the timing of assessment tasks or the task, please discuss this with your teacher well in advance of the due date for the task.

NOTE

If a student is absent from school immediately preceding an in class assessment task (that is the day before an assessment task, or in the school periods leading up to the assessment task) an explanation

from parent/carer, acceptable to the Principal or his delegate, will be required. A zero assessment will be awarded in the absence of an acceptable explanation

10


Assessment Task Review

A student may seek a review of his/her assessment result for any assessment task.

This review can only be to ensure that:

the assessment was in accordance with the School and Board of Studies policies

and / or

there are no computational or clerical errors

A student seeking a review must make the request at the time the task is returned.

The review will be conducted by the class teacher and the Head Teacher supervising that subject. This review must take place within 2 school days of the marked task being returned to the students. A student has 5 school days to lodge an appeal in relation to an assessment task review. The appeal will be conducted by the School Assessment Appeals Panel.

The following will occur when there has been:

1. An absence from a Task with an Acceptable Explanation

Arrangements will be made for students to sit for the original or an alternative task at a later date.

2. Absences from School with No Acceptable Explanation

Will result in a score of zero. The assessment task however must still be attempted in order for courseoutcomes assessment to be completed.

3. Late Submission of Assessment Tasks

Score zero (except when reason deemed acceptable by the school has been given prior to the due date of theassessment).

4. Proven Dishonesty / Cheating

Score zero. It is the responsibility of students to submit their own work and to acknowledge sources. Evidence to the contrary will result in a score of zero for the task.

11


PART D

What is cheating in HSC Assessment?

Cheating is any dishonest behaviour which gives a student an unfair advantage over others. What constitutes cheating during examinations and tests is generally well understood by students, but there are other types of behaviours which are considered to be cheating. Some of these include:

Downloading an assignment from an online source and submitting it as your own work.

Buying, stealing or borrowing an assignment and submitting it as your own work.

Copying a section of a book or an article and submitting it as your own work.

Quoting from a source ‘word for word’, without using quotation marks.

Copying, cutting and pasting text from an electronic source and submitting it as your own work.

Using the words of someone else and presenting them as your own.

Using significant ideas from someone else and presenting them as your own.

Most of the above actions can be jointly described as plagiarism.

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is an act of representing as one’s own original work the creative works of another, without appropriate acknowledgment of the author or source. (Creative works may include published and unpublished written documents, interpretations, computer software, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, and ideas gained through working with another person or in a group. These works may be in print and/or electronic media).

The Internet and Plagiarism

The internet is a valuable source of information and an effective research tool. However, because electronic information is easily available does not make it ‘free’. Information you find online should be referenced just like any other source. Online sources should be used with care, fully acknowledged and evaluated in the same way as other, print based, information.

Sometimes a student might accidentally plagiarise. This is usually the result of a lack of academic writing skills, inexperience, sloppy note taking, or a combination of these. It is important that you learn and follow the rules for the acknowledgement of written works for your individual subjects.

General Principles for Acknowledgement

In all written work submitted for assessment you must show the sources of your material. The principle is that whenever submitted material is not your own original work, this must be acknowledged. To present material without acknowledgement is in effect to claim that it represents your own work and ideas.

Common Knowledge

Students sometimes have difficulty knowing where the need for acknowledgement of works starts and finishes. The principle of common knowledge is worth understanding.

Common knowledge consists of information from a field of study as well as commonsense observations. Standard information includes, for instance, the major facts of history. The dates of the First World War (1914-1918) and the fact that the ANZACS landed on the Gallipoli Peninsular on 25th April 1915 – both are facts available in many reference books – do not need to be acknowledged, even if you have to look up the information.

12


Folk literature, which is popularly known and cannot be traced to particular writers, is considered common knowledge. This would include nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and any stories from the oral tradition of literature. Even if you read these things in printed form, documentation is not needed.

A commonsense observation, such as the idea that weather affects people’s spirits does not require acknowledgement. But a scientist’s findings about the effects of high humidity on people with blood pressure, will require acknowledgement.

You may use common knowledge as your own, even if you have to look it up in a reference book. You may not know, for example, the dates of the French Revolution or the standard definition of photosynthesis, although these are considered common knowledge. If you look them up in a dictionary or reference book, you do not need to acknowledge the source.

Knowing What to Acknowledge

When you write a research essay, you use information from three kinds of sources:

(1) your independent thoughts and experiences

(2) common knowledge, the basic information people share and

(3) other people’s independent thoughts and experiences.

Of the three, you must acknowledge only the third, the works of others. Your teachers will speak to you about how they want you to acknowledge the works of others.

How cheating and plagiarism in school assessment tasks will be dealt with

Staff at Kadina High Campus expect that submitted assessment tasks will be the independent work of that

student, and that they have written their response in their own words. As indicated, where there is proven

dishonesty the following will occur:

Copied assignments will be given a zero.

If student A copies student B’s assignment, both students will get zero.

Assignments copied in whole or large part from books or articles will receive zero.

The same essay may not be submitted for assessment in two different subjects.

All submitted assessment tasks must have attached a Kadina High Campus Assessment Task Cover Sheet, fully completed and signed by the student. A copy of this sheet is included in this document for your information (see page 20).

5. An Absence from School when Task/Calendar is Handed Out

Following an absence, a student must consult the subject teacher to ensure they remain aware of upcoming tasks. It is important to realise that absence from a lesson when a task is distributed does not constitute a reasonable excuse for failing to submit a task.

13


6. Zero Mark, Estimate, Substitute Mark

Following an authorised absence, the student may be given the original assessment task unless an alternative task is deemed more appropriate.

An estimate will be awarded in exceptional circumstances in the event of authorised, prolonged absences.

Students will be informed of zero achievement in a task. A letter will be sent home from the faculty to inform the parents/caregivers of the zero score, (This may be containes in an ‘n’ warning letter or sent separately, depending on the circumstances). This note is expected to be signed by the parent/caregiver or student if over 18, and returned to school and stored in the faculty files.

7. Submission of Work

All work is to be personally submitted to the subject teacher or faculty head teacher on or before the due date. The subject teacher will identify receipt of the submitted task by recording receipt on the Assessment Task Cover Sheet.Part of the cover sheet will be returned to the student signed by the teacher they submitted the task to as evidence of submission

8. Disputes/Problems

Any dispute/problem arising out of late submission of any task or absence from a task, will be resolved by a committee consisting of the Principal (or nominee), Deputy Principal and a Head Teacher from outside the Key Learning Area concerned.

9. Students who Change Courses

Students, who have commenced a course after the assessment period has begun, will be credited with an estimate for the missed tasks. The estimate will be based on the student’s achievement in completed tasks ie. The student will receive a mark in the missed task equivalent to that of the rank they achieve in completed tasks.

10. Non-completed Tasks

If the progress of a task is interrupted (eg. by a fire), then this task is to be abandoned and an alternative task can be scheduled.

11. Invalid, Unreliable Results

If the results of an assessment task are deemed to be invalid or unreliable by the teacher/Head Teacher, an alternative task may be set. This would only be done in extreme circumstances. Results of assessment tasks that have been completed by students, will not be discarded and will be held in faculty assessment files. The task will be returned to the student.

14


FEEDBACK ON PERFORMANCE

HSC Progress Reports will be issued after the Mid Course and Trial HSC examinations. The final report will indicate all course outcomes have been assessed.

The reporting of results for each assessment task should include:

1. MARK

2. RANK

3. COMMENTS WHERE APPROPRIATE WHICH MAY BE WRITTEN OR ORAL and

4. ACHIEVEMENT OF OUTCOMES ASSESSED

REVIEW OF SCHOOL ASSESSMENT

Students who wish to challenge aspects of their assessment for a course, should immediately lodge their grievance with the appropriate Subject Head Teacher, who will notify the School Assessment Appeals Panel.

For the purpose of reviewing assessment ranking, a School Assessment Appeals Panel will be established comprising:

the Principal or Nominee

the Deputy Principal

a Head Teacher from outside the Key Learning Area concerned

The School Review must ensure that:

1. Assessment was in accordance with School and Board of Studies policies

2. There are no computational or clerical errors

APPEALS TO THE BOARD OF STUDIES

Students may appeal to the Board of Studies for further review of school assessment procedures.

15


PART E

PART H


Plagiarism is when you pretend that you have written or created a piece of work that someone else originated. It is cheating, it is dishonest, and it could jeopardize your HSC exam results. The following are some common questions:

Is it plagiarism if I copy someone else’s work exactly and claim it is my own work? Definitely yes!

Is it plagiarism if I change some of the words or the order of sentences in the passage I am copying? Yes. You are using someone else’s thoughts and words without acknowledgement.

Is it plagiarism if someone else proofreads my written work and changes my final draft? It is not plagiarism to have someone correct your spelling and grammar. However, if a parent or tutor or anyone else makes major changes to the wording of your draft, the final version is no longer your own work.

Is it plagiarism if I get ideas from my reading and research and use them to support and develop my own ideas, but acknowledge the original source in the work I hand in? No, this is not plagiarism. You have acknowledged where your ideas came from. It is legitimate to build on ideas from others provided you don’t claim they are your own.

Is it plagiarism if I quote from a source and indicate this using quotation marks, footnotes or in other ways, and then acknowledge the source in my text and/or in my bibliography: This is not plagiarism. You have taken steps to show you are presenting another’s words or ideas.

How do I acknowledge sources?For written works this usually will be in a bibliography. You will need to check how the bibliography should be presented for each of your projects. Remember that acknowledging your sources is a good way to show your teacher the extent of the reading and research you have done. Acknowledgements prove that you have engaged with other people’s ideas in order to develop your own view.

What are the consequences for cheating?Students may cheat because they are under pressure. They can be under pressure because they have not organised their time and feel they have to take shortcuts to meet the course requirements. Others are under pressure because they are trying to achieve unrealistic academic goals. It is important to speak to your parents and teachers if you feel this kind of pressure. Some people cheat because they don’t understand the seriousness of what they are doing and tell themselves it does not matter. Some people cheat accidentally because they do not understand plagiarism.

Cheating in school assessment tasks will be dealt with at school. Your teachers must be satisfied that the work you are presenting is your own, particularly in tasks that require work to be done at home, and that any help you have received has been acknowledged. The school will use procedures similar to the Board’s rules, such as this signed declaration.

Cheating in school assessment tasks can have serious consequences. Refer to the HSC Course Guidelines. You may receive zero marks for the task and, depending on the task, you may lose that course from your HSC award. The school may refuse to certify your project as ‘authentic work’ before sending it to the Board of Studies for external marking. The school may also impose further disciplinary action. Apart from anything else, if you are caught cheating you are likely to lose the trust and respect of your fellow students.
