In Year 11 students embark on their academic journey to the Higher School Certificate. The courses undertaken in Year 11 are vital foundations on which the HSC year is built. This is true, not only of the content and skills taught in each course, but also of the Assessment procedures. In Year 12, Assessment contributes fifty percent to the final result in every subject. Year 11, therefore, provides the opportunity for students to become accustomed to the practices and requirements associated with HSC Assessment, and to develop the habits of learning that support academic achievement.

Heads of Department take primary responsibility for Assessment matters within their academic areas and formulate a Programme of Assessment tasks for each subject. It is the purpose of this book to inform students and their parents of the Programme of Assessments for each subject.

At the end of Year 11 schools are required by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) to award Grades on an A – E scale for every completed Year 11 course. Should a student leave school before the completion of Year 12, Year 11 course Grades, along with Grades earned in Year 10, are reported on the Record of School Achievement issued by NESA. Otherwise, they will appear on the HSC testamur.

A careful examination of the Assessment Programmes for each of his subjects allows a student to plan his time to ensure that he is not working at the last minute to complete important tasks. It also helps him to see how the various Assessment tasks will mesh together to give a holistic picture of his accomplishments at the end of Year 11.

I do encourage all Year 11 students to sit with their parents and plan ahead. Successful planning is an important key to achieving the highest Grades of which each student is capable.

I also encourage all students and their parents regularly to consult the School’s Assessment Policy, which is available on the School’s Community Website, http://community.trinity.nsw.edu.au.au/1_senior/mind_senior.html. All the procedures relating to Assessment in Senior School are made clear, and important rules concerning Assessment are published there. Students in Senior School are expected to be aware of these rules and procedures.

I wish every Year 11 student success in undertaking this important first year in his Higher School Certificate programme.

TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL YEAR 11 ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME 3

SECTION 1PURPOSES OF ASSESSMENT

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) defines assessment as “the process of identifying, gathering and interpreting information about students’ learning”. The main purpose of assessment at Trinity Grammar School is to identify where students are in their learning so we can show their growth and achievement and design future learning. This remains true as students enter the challenges of their final school credential: assessment is the primary means by which we gauge student progress and determine the best paths forward for each individual.

In Senior School (Years 10, 11 and 12), however, Assessment takes on the special significance of contributing to the award of important public credentials – the Record of School Achievement and the Higher School Certificate.

ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OUTCOMES

All syllabuses published by NESA for Years 7 - 12 specify required Learning Outcomes. The purpose of Assessment is to measure the extent to which students have achieved the Learning Outcomes at a given point in time.

There are no predetermined patterns of marks or grades superimposed on Assessment tasks. The purpose is simply to measure and identify what students know and can do in relation to the required outcomes for each Stage in the subjects they are studying.

Public Assessments conducted for the Higher School Certificate (HSC Examinations) are also based on the measurement of learning outcomes.

ASSESSMENT FOR PUBLIC CREDENTIALS

The Record of School Achievement

Students who leave the NSW school system prior to achieving the Higher School Certificate are eligible for a Record of School Achievement. This credential records the student’s Grades achieved at the end of Year 10, and (where applicable) at the end of Year 11. For students who go on to achieve the Higher School Certificate, this same information will be reported on their HSC testamur.

Year 11 courses

Throughout Year 11 the School conducts an Assessment Programme in each subject. The purpose of the Assessment Programme is to enable the School to determine an achievement Grade for each student in each of his subjects. Achievement Grades are in the range A – E, where A is the most meritorious result. Grades are awarded in strict accordance with descriptors published by NESA, and the pattern of Grades awarded by each school is monitored by NESA. The descriptors define achievements standards; there is no pre-determined pattern of Grades.

PART AINTRODUCTION

YEAR112020

A NOTE ON TERMINOLOGYThroughout this document, the word “Assessment” (capitalised) is distinguished from the more general “assessment”. The “Assessment Programme”, comprising a number of “Assessment tasks”, is a formal set of procedures, overseen by the respective Head of Department, designed to measure the achievement of all students undertaking a course in a consistent and comparable manner. Students will be asked to undertake many other tasks which do not form part of the Assessment Programme, but which nevertheless help the teacher to make an assessment of their learning. Effective learning requires that students undertake all tasks set by their teachers; Assessment tasks nevertheless have a particular significance.

THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) requires that, before students can progress to a Higher School Certificate (Year 12) course, they must satisfactorily complete the requirements of the relevant Year 11 course.

Over the four terms of Year 12 the School conducts an Assessment Programme in each subject. NESA requires that the School report a mark for each student in each subject which they are presenting for the Higher School Certificate. The purpose of the Assessment Programme is to determine this mark through the administration of a variety of Assessment tasks.

The marks1 which are submitted to NESA are moderated by NESA, based on the examination results achieved by the School’s candidates in each subject. The moderated Assessment mark then comprises fifty percent (50%) of the student’s final HSC mark for each subject. Should the student suffer some misadventure at the time of the HSC Examination, the moderated Assessment mark can become the basis upon which NESA provides an HSC result.

Thus, in every Assessment task in Year 12 students are working directly towards their HSC result.

Following the HSC students will receive a result notice informing them of their

> Examination mark

> Moderated Assessment mark

> HSC mark (comprising the other two marks combined on a 50:50 basis)

> Achievement band ranging from 6 to 12.

Band 6 Mark from 90 to 100

Band 5 Mark from 80 to 89

Band 4 Mark from 70 to 79

Band 3 Mark from 60 to 69

Band 2 Mark from 50 to 59

Band 1 Mark from 0 to 49, regarded as below the minimum standard

1. The procedures described in this paragraph refer to NESA Developed Courses only. Most subjects offered at Trinity Grammar School are NESA Developed Courses. The small number of exceptions are identified in the Courses Guide published each year, and in other relevant documentation relating to students’ choice of subjects.2. This varies slightly in Extension subjects

TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL YEAR 11 ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME 5

In Senior School, Assessment takes on a greater significance, and for Years 11 and 12, it is part of the public credentialling process. Strict rules are laid down by NESA and the School must follow these, both to maintain the integrity of the Assessment process and to serve the best interests of Trinity students. The rules which govern Assessment in Years 10-12 are contained in this section.

ASSESSMENT PROGRAMMES

For each subject in each Senior School Year group the Head of Department will publish an Assessment Programme early in the academic year. The Assessment Programme will indicate:

> the Assessment tasks which will take place throughout the academic year

> in general terms what syllabus outcomes each task is intended measure

> when each task will occur (with specific dates to be supplied later)

> what percentage of the final Assessment mark each task contributes to the overall Assessment result in that course.

NUMBERS AND WEIGHTING OF TASKS

For Stage 6 syllabuses, NESA publishes strict guidelines relating to Assessment Programmes, including the number of tasks to be undertaken and the weightings of various elements. The School requires Heads of Departments to design an appropriate Assessment Programme for each Course in Years 11 and 12, in accordance with NESA rules and guidelines and to provide feedback on student progress across the range of learning outcomes.

Students should note that the nature of Outcome Based Assessment means that the final Assessment mark allocated to each student must be an accurate numeric representation of his level of achievement of the specified Outcomes of the course. While particular weightings are allocated to individual Assessment Tasks, Heads of Department are nevertheless required to ensure that final Assessment marks reflect the student’s overall level of achievement at the end of the course. Assessment marks achieved throughout the course will be the most important means of determining this final mark but may be subject to the application of appropriate professional judgment by the Head of Department.

NOTIFICATION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS

At least two (2) weeks prior to the actual conduct of any Assessment task, the Head of Department will give the specific date (or dates), and details of the task, the Outcomes to be assessed, the marking criteria and any special arrangements to students in writing. Such notification in writing will not generally be printed in “hard copy”, but will be made available electronically to students via the School’s Learning Management System (Canvas).

In some subjects Assessment takes place over a period of time. In such cases it will be sufficient for the Head of Department to have given students two (2) weeks’ notice of the commencement of the period of Assessment.

In approving the dates for Assessment tasks, the School will endeavour to act to avoid students having to undertake more than one task on a given day. However, experience has shown that this cannot always be avoided, and it will not be grounds for appeal

SECTION 2THE ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME IN SENIOR SCHOOL (YEARS 10-12)

that a student has more than one task on any day, or has several successive days of Assessments, providing that due notice has been given for each.

VARIATION FROM THE PUBLISHED ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME

Should it become necessary in unusual or unforeseen circumstances to change the date of an Assessment task once it has been given in writing to students, the Head of Department will negotiate a new date with the Director of Curriculum and advise the students in writing via the School’s Learning Management System (Canvas). Wherever feasible the Head of Department will endeavour to consult with the classes affected, but this will not always be possible. The three key principles in this procedure will be that:

a. the date will not generally be made earlier than that originally advisedb. the weighting of the Task in the overall Assessment Programme

will not generally be variedc. every consideration will be given to ensure that students do not

suffer disadvantage.

EXTENSIONS

Extensions will only be granted by a Head of Department in the most exceptional circumstances, and should not be assumed by students. Should a student wish to seek an extension for an Assessment task, he must apply in advance in writing to the Head of the Department involved. A pro forma is available for this purpose. The Head of the Department will deal promptly with the application and advise the student of the outcome.

Generally, technical failures related to computing equipment will not constitute sufficient grounds for the granting of an Extension. Students are expected to follow responsible practices in relation to the use of technologies, including the maintenance of reliable and up to date backup copies, allowing sufficient time to deal with potential technical failures and the retention of printed draft copies

ABSENCE FROM AN ASSESSMENT TASK OR EXAMINATION AND OTHER CASES OF MISADVENTURE

Absence due to illness or misadventure

If a student is very ill on the day of an Assessment task or Examination, he should not sit the task. Rather a medical certificate is to be obtained that specifies their illness and the period of time that the student is determined to be affected by the illness and submitted to the Director of Curriculum as soon as possible, but at the latest on the day of the student’s return to school, for consideration. Students who sit an Assessment task while ill cannot make an illness/misadventure claim, rather, their mark for the Assessment task will stand. Further, students cannot make a claim for illness after they have sat an Assessment task, rather, the mark for the Assessment task will stand.

Should an unavoidable and unplanned circumstance preclude a student’s attendance at an Assessment task or Examination, they are to notify the Student Services Secretary (02 9581 6033) or the EA to the Academic Dean (02 9581 6135) as early as possible. Such circumstances do not include family holidays (whenever booked), social engagements or other matters of a discretionary nature.

Page 6: MIND BODY SPIRIT - Trinity Grammar Schoolcommunity.trinity.nsw.edu.au/1_senior/docs/assessment_11.pdf · In Senior School, Assessment takes on a greater significance, and for Years

6

Documentation must be submitted to suport the claim to the Director of Curriculum as soon as possible, but at the latest on the day of the student’s return to School, for consideration.

In the unlikely event that a circumstance eventuates which may prejudice a student’s performance in an Assessment task or Examination, the details should be given in writing to the Director of Curriculum as soon as possible for consideration.

Illness or misadventure in the days immediately preceding an Assessment task or Examination will not generally be grounds for a misadventure claim. Students are expected to prepare over time and not to depend on last minute preparation.

In cases where it is determined by the Director of Curriculum or the Head of Department that an estimate is to be awarded for a particular task, the Head of Department will exercise his or her professional judgment, using all available evidence of achievement, to provide the most accurate estimate possible. In the absence of good evidence, the Head of Department cannot predicate estimates on a student’s potential or ability alone. The student’s rank order in the course will not necessarily be maintained.

Note: Students who sustain a short-term injury or encounter a circumstance that may impede their performance in an upcoming Assessment task or Examination will not generally be granted Disability Provisions (such as extra time or a scribe) rather they are to contact the Director of Curriculum who will determine a course of action which may involve the student not undertaking the Assessment task or examination (so long as supporting medical or third party documentation is supplied) and advise the Head of Department to provide an estimate for the relevant Assessment task(s) or Examination(s).

Where a student has missed attending an Assessment task or Examination, on the day of his return to School, he must see the relevant Head(s) of Department, who will determine, in consultation with the Director of Curriculum, how to proceed. The Head of Department will determine if it is appropriate and possible for the student to undertake a similar Assessment task or examination; the student can be required to undertake the alternative on the day of his return to School. Alternatively, it may be more appropriate to make an estimate based on other information about the student’s performance.

LATE ATTENDANCE AT AN ASSESSMENT TASK OR EXAMINATION

Students who arrive late for an Assessment task, and who believe that circumstances beyond their control have occasioned the lateness, should report to the Head of Department concerned. The Head of Department will determine an appropriate course of action.

Students who arrive late for a School Examination must report to the Master of the Senior School or the Director of Curriculum, who will determine an appropriate course of action. In general, the procedures of NESA, i.e. students may only be admitted to an Examination up to one (1) hour late, and will not be granted extra time in compensation. However, for internal School Examinations, the Master of the Senior School or Director of Curriculum may exercise discretion in this regard; for external / public Examinations no such discretion is available.

Alleged misreading of the examination timetable cannot be compensated. Students who fail to attend an examination claiming

that they have misread the examination timetable will be awarded zero (0) marks. Students are strictly warned against using draft timetables; only the final examination timetable will provide accurate information about examination scheduling

Procedures for Applications for Misadventure Consideration

In normal circumstances, applications for misadventure consideration will not be accepted or considered more than five (5) school days after the date of the affected Assessment task or Examination.

Should a student be absent from an Assessment task or Examination and fail to follow the procedures above he will be awarded zero (0) marks.

Long Term Illness or Educational Disadvantage

There may be cases where a student experiences an illness or another means of educational disadvantage that is of a long term nature. Generally, such cases will be accommodated through the UAC Educational Access Scheme, not by consideration for internal Assessment tasks or Examinations. Applications for the EAS Scheme are made through the Senior School Office

SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS

Assessment tasks are extremely valuable and must be submitted responsibly in accordance with the terms established on the Assessment notification. Tasks completed at home must be submitted directly to the student’s teacher in circumstances conducive to their safe receipt. In the event of the teacher being unavailable, Assessment tasks may be submitted to the respective Head of Department, or failing that to the Director of Curriculum, Master of the Senior School or EA to the Academic Dean.

In the case of all Assessment tasks completed at home, the student is required to keep a good copy of the submitted task. A digital back-up copy or a photocopy is acceptable. The copy must be produced on request, and will provide the student with security against loss of or damage to the submitted copy. Loss of a Task, either electronic or physical, will not generally be accepted as a valid reason for late submission.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS

Students are not to assume that they may submit Assessment tasks by email or by other digital media. However, on some occasions the Head of Department may instruct or allow students to submit electronically. Heads of Department may require subsequent provision of a printed copy of the task. Any such instructions will be clearly specified on the Assessment task notification

When this is required or permitted, the task may be submitted on CD, DVD or memory stick, by email or via an electronic “drop box”, but not on other media (unless specifically authorised by the Head of Department). When electronic submission does occur, the following rules will apply:

1. The School will not be responsible for unreadable, unusable or virus infected files or media.

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.

Page 7: MIND BODY SPIRIT - Trinity Grammar Schoolcommunity.trinity.nsw.edu.au/1_senior/docs/assessment_11.pdf · In Senior School, Assessment takes on a greater significance, and for Years

TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL YEAR 11 ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME 7

3. The Assessment task should be readily identifiable on the medium.

4. An Assessment task is not considered submitted if conditions (1), (2) and (3) are not satisfied.

5. The School will not be responsible for the non-receipt or delay of emails. If submitting work by email, students must specifically request acknowledgement by return email of the receipt of their work. Teachers will acknowledge receipt as soon as feasible. Only receipts generated by the School’s email system will be considered valid. Students who do not receive a receipt within a reasonable time should regard their work as not submitted and take appropriate action.

6. The School will make every endeavour to ensure the safe return of submitted media but cannot guarantee this.

LATE SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS

Should a student not hand in an Assessment task by the date on which it is due (without extension or acceptable explanation), the following procedure will be followed:

> Marks will be deducted as follows:• 20% of the marks awarded for the first day3 late• a further 20% of the marks awarded for the second day late• a further 10% of the marks awarded for the third day late• a further 10% of the marks awarded for the fourth day late

No further penalty will be applied; however, Assessment tasks will not be accepted for credit more than seven (7) days late, work submitted after this time may be reviewed but no mark will be awarded for credit.

Parents will be advised by the Director of Curriculum as soon as possible of late penalties which have been applied.

FAILURE TO UNDERTAKE AN ASSESSMENT TASK

Should a student fail to undertake an Assessment task without an acceptable reason and supporting documentation, the Head of Department will advise the Director of Curriculum, who will write to the parents advising them of the fact, and detailing the penalty involved.

The penalty in such cases is the award of zero (0) marks for the task.

Students in Years 11 and 12 are warned that failure to submit or undertake Assessment tasks worth at least fifty percent (50%) of the Assessment marks will result in the Head Master advising NESA of their unsatisfactory completion of the respective course. This is a requirement of NESA in which the Head Master has no discretion. Such advice will automatically mean that the student will not receive a result for the subject involved. This in turn may prejudice the student’s eligibility for the HSC or Year 11 credential.

ALLEGED MALPRACTICE IN ASSESSMENT TASKS OR EXAMINATIONS

NESA defines malpractice, or cheating, as “dishonest behaviour by a student that gives them an unfair advantage over others”. At Trinity academic malpractice includes, but is not restricted to, the following:

> plagiarism— the representation, intentionally or unintentionally, of

3. A “day” means any day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Hence an Assessment due on Fri-day but handed in on the following Monday would be three (3) days late attracting a 50% penalty. Students should note the provisions for electronic submission..

the ideas, words or work of another person without proper, clear and explicit acknowledgment

> collusion—supporting academic misconduct by another candidate, for example, allowing one’s work to be copied or submitted for assessment by another

> duplication of work—the presentation of the same work for different assessment components or courses

> misconduct during an examination (for example, taking unauthorized material into an examination, behaviour that disrupts the examination or distracts other candidates, or communicating with another candidate)

Allegations of plagiarism or other forms of malpractice will be reported to the Director of Curriculum and Master of the Senior School, who will consult with the respective Head of Department to investigate the matter and, if proven, determine an appropriate penalty. The award of zero (0) marks may be deemed appropriate. The outcome in such cases will be conveyed in writing, via email, to the parents.

The School requires all students, prior to, or upon entering, Year 11, to complete NESA’s on-line course, All My Own Work, which addresses matters of academic integrity.

As a further reminder, Senior School students will be required to sign and date a statement of compliance upon submission of any Assessment task. However, a student’s failure to sign this statement will not in any way excuse malpractice.

For examination and in-class test-style Assessment tasks, the wording is as follows:

I recognise that collaborative work in the preparation of an Assessment task is permissible, but that what I submit must be my own work, and certify that1 .this is my own work,2. no part of my submission has been copied from any other source except where due acknowledgement has been made, and3. I have taken reasonable care to prevent my work being copied by another student.

APPEALS RELATING TO ASSESSMENTS

Appeals relating to the appropriateness of the marks awarded for any Assessment task should be directed to the respective Head of Department at the time of the return of the Assessment task. Should the matter not be satisfactorily resolved through the Head of Department, the student may make further application for reconsideration through the Director of Curriculum. Students should note that marks may either go up or down in the process of remarking.

For Year 12 HSC candidates, at the time of the announcement of the Rank Order at the conclusion of Year 12, students have the right to appeal if they believe that their rank is anomalous. Such appeals can only relate to the accuracy of the School’s records and the appropriateness of its procedures. Appeals should be directed in writing to the Director of Curriculum, who will convene the Appeal Committee, comprising the Chair of the Council Education Committee (or his/her nominee), the Master of the Senior School, the Academic Dean and the Head of Department.

Page 8: MIND BODY SPIRIT - Trinity Grammar Schoolcommunity.trinity.nsw.edu.au/1_senior/docs/assessment_11.pdf · In Senior School, Assessment takes on a greater significance, and for Years

8

The student and/or his parents will have the right to speak to the Appeals Committee in support of the Appeal, if they wish, but may not be present for the Committee’s deliberations. Should the student not be satisfied by the ruling of the Appeal Committee he has the right of further appeal to NESA within the timeframe published annually by NESA.

‘N’ DETERMINATIONS - WARNINGS OF NON-COMPLETION OF COURSE REQUIREMENTS

A student will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if there is sufficient evidence that a student has:

> followed the course developed or endorsed by NESA as per the relevant syllabus;

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

> achieved some or all of the course outcomes.

If at any time it appears that a student is at risk of receiving an ‘N’ determination (non-completion of course requirements) in any course, the School will:

> advise the student of the tasks or actions to be undertaken in time for the problem to be corrected and alert the student to the possible consequences of an ‘N’ determination;

> advise the parent or guardian in writing via email (if the student is under the age of 18);

> request from the student/parent/guardian a written acknowledgement of the warning;

> issue at least one follow-up warning letter if the first letter is not effective.

Construction is a competency-based course. Competencies are assessed not by a mark but by either Competent or Not Yet Competent. Students are given 3 attempts to demonstrate the achievement of a unit of competency. The end of Semester examination is reported on with a mark and is for internal reporting only.When completing this course students are concurrently studying for two records of achievement:

Æ Construction (VET) for which there are no formal examinations or written tests Æ Construction (HSC) based on the same range of work, assessed by practical assessment in the workshop and an HSC examination. In Year

12 a single mark for each student is determined by the School based on the Semester 2 report result and is sent to NESA. This mark is an examination estimate for use in the event of student misadventure. This mark is not used for any other purpose. The HSC mark awarded to students completing a Construction course is entirely derived from a single theoretical examination. This examination is prepared by NESA and is held during the normal HSC period.

Construction does not have separate Year 11 and HSC components. It is taught continuously for two years across Years 11 and 12.

AREAS OF ASSESSMENTAssessment in both the VET and HSC courses is based on the following competencies:
