GENERAL INFORMATION - The Award of a Preliminary Certificate Satisfactory completion of a 2 Unit Preliminary course is a prerequisite for entry into the HSC course. The Board of Studies which sets the rules for the attainment of a Higher School Certificate, states: “A student 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 learning experiences provided in the course by the school, and c. achieved some or all of the course outcomes.” The school determines that to meet the requirements set out above, a student must have an attendance pattern of 85% or over of the course lesson time. Students are required to attend regularly and complete all assessment tasks. Extended leave will be granted by the Principal only if the absence does not affect the progress of the student towards course outcomes. All absences should be explained and accompanied by a medical certificate if applicable. Where a student is in jeopardy of not satisfactorily completing a course due to a pattern of: non attendance which is causing concern and/or unsatisfactorily explained absences warning letters will be sent home. ‘N’ Determinations and the non-award of the Preliminary Certificate Students who have not met the course requirements will be given warnings through faculty letters and official Board of Studies letters so that they may correct the problem. In this case, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the course outcomes are met. If a student makes no attempt to correct the problem and has received at least two official Board of Studies warning letters, the Principal may apply for an ‘N’ (Unsatisfactory) Determination for that course. The student will be notified and informed of the appeal process. Where a student receives an ‘N’ determination in a course, that course will not appear on the student’s Record of Achievement. The student may not then have the pattern of study necessary to complete the Higher School Certificate in the following year.

4

Satisfactorily Completing a Vocational Education and Training (VET) or Board Endorsed Course (BEC) studied either at school or TAFE

As with all other courses studied for the Higher School Certificate, students undertaking vocational courses may be deemed either ‘Satisfactory’ or ‘Unsatisfactory’.

The points outlined on page 3 of this booklet also apply to VET and other Board Endorsed Courses.

Students studying a VET course must keep a log book which demonstrates the achievement of competencies under the Industry Framework being studied. It should also be noted that if a student fails to undertake the mandatory work placement component of a VET course, it will be determined that the student has not made a genuine attempt to complete course requirements. In this case the student will receive an ‘N’ determination.

VET courses studied at Richmond River include: Construction, Hospitality, Information Technology, Primary Industries and Metal and Engineering.

Courses studied at Richmond River which are endorsed by the Board of Studies and therefore fall under these rules are: Work Studies, Sport, Lifestyle and Recreation and Photography.

Courses studied at TAFE are either Board Developed or Board Endorsed Courses. Therefore all courses fall under the same rules outlined on page 3.

MALPRACTICE Students must be familiar with the guidelines and standards established by the Board of Studies program,” All My Own Work”. This is a compulsory program for all senior students. Any malpractice in examinations, tests or assessment tasks or any attempt to gain unfair advantage over one’s peers will be treated severely and the student may therefore face an ‘N’ determination. Malpractice includes such things as: cheating of all kinds plagiarism missing days or parts of days without good reason immediately before assessment due dates or

examinations. If malpractice in this regard is suspected, a medical certificate may be required and a Application for Late Assessment form must be submitted.

If a whole class or whole course assessment task has been compromised a panel consisting of the Senior Executive and Head Teacher will review the circumstances and may deem the task to be void. In this case students may be given an alternative task or the weighting of the original task may be spread across future tasks. The original task will still contribute to class work. Where a student truants a lesson in order to prepare for an assessment task or is identified as preparing for a task in another lesson, the student will be given zero for the task.

STUDENTS STUDYING COURSES WITH REDUCED FACE TO FACE At times, students may be studying a course which contains a small number of candidates. In this case, the student may have reduced face to face periods. Any student with reduced face to face periods is to follow the procedure set out below: each student is to supply the Deputy Principal with a copy of their timetable. periods nominated for study of the course with reduced face to face are to be spent in the Library on work set

by the course teacher. on entering the Library for each study period, students are to sign an attendance register.

5

ASSESSMENT

Assessment tasks are given to measure what a student knows and can do at points throughout each course studied. Assessments are related to outcomes covered in each Preliminary course.

Students are expected to attempt all assessment tasks set. Any student who does not make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks will receive warning letters and may receive an ‘N’ Determination.

NOTIFICATION AND ORGANISATION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS At the commencement of each course each teacher will provide students with an assessment task outline which includes the syllabus outcomes to be assessed.

Students will be given two weeks notice of an assessment task. They will also be given information on:

the knowledge/skills outcomes from the syllabus document that the task will assess and type of task, e.g. research, assignment, oral, test, practical, etc.

arrangements for the task, e.g. the time of day that an out of class task is to be submitted.

the weighting of the task (that is, its relative value in the course).

marking criteria for the task.

feedback on performance in the task.

Students should:

ensure that they have a full understanding of the requirements of the assessment task.

attend all lessons so that the necessary knowledge and skills for the task are gained.

plan in advance and start the task as soon as possible rather than leave it to the last minute.

aim to achieve their best by drawing on previous experience with non-assessable tasks in the subject.

ensure that any work missed due to illness or other approved leave is completed as soon as possible. It is the student’s responsibility to find out what has been missed in preparation for an assessment task. Submission/Completion of Tasks

tasks which require ongoing work and which are submitted on a set date (“hand-in” tasks) must always be submitted before Roll Call on Monday morning – the specific date being specified on the task notification.

there may only be two tasks set in any given school week that are to be completed during a specified

timetabled period (“in-class” tasks).

no assessment tasks of any nature are to be due for completion/submission within two weeks prior to a scheduled examination period.

Change of Date for Assessment If it is deemed necessary for the due date of the task to change the decision will be made in consultation with the Deputy Principal, Head Teacher, class teacher and students. Students will be notified in writing of the change. Vocational Educational Courses are competency based subjects but the students may elect to sit a HSC examination so they can have their mark contribute towards an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).

The students who choose to sit this exam must therefore sit in-school examinations so that a ranking and school mark can be entered to the Board of Studies in case they have a misadventure on the day of the exam.

6

FAILURE TO COMPLETE AN ASSESSMENT TASK

A student must satisfy the requirements of an assessment task on the day set for submission. Failure by a

student to submit the assessment task on the date set for submission will result in an award of zero marks to the student for that task.

A task that has been awarded zero marks must still be completed and submitted for marking, in order to

satisfy the syllabus outcomes of the course.

REPORTING The achievement of syllabus outcomes together with information on assessment and exams will be reported on twice a year.

7

APPLICATION FOR LATE ASSESSMENT

Students may apply for late submission or extension of an assessment task date in the following circumstances: i) Illness If a student misses a task through illness, a medical certificate should be supplied verifying the illness. Students are to supply the certificate immediately on return to school. The doctor’s (medical) certificate must be dated at the time of the illness. In exceptional circumstances where a student is unable to supply a medical certificate they or their parent must immediately contact the Head Teacher of the subject on the day the task is due. Students must apply for late assessment on the day of their return after an illness. If students are applying for late assessment due to illness the following process must be followed:

The teacher/Head Teacher is to be kept informed as soon as students are aware of events/illness that may affect their performance/completion of the task.

Complete section 1 of the “Application for Late Assessment” form and attach the medical certificate. (Forms are available from the subject Head Teacher. An example is shown on page 7.)

The Head Teacher must sight all work completed to that date, demonstrating the progress the student has made.

Take the form to the Head Teacher of the subject to complete. The Head Teacher will make a decision in consultation with the Principal if appropriate. If the application is approved the Head Teacher will either:

a) allow the student to do the same task, if applicable, or b) allow the student to do a suitable replacement task, or c) give an estimate for that task only, based on the quality of the student’s work in the components being assessed.

Note: Failure to supply a medical certificate dated at the time of illness and failure to apply for late assessment on the day of return from an illness will lead to a zero for that task. ii) Misadventure or unforeseen circumstance There must be a serious reason in order to be excused from an assessment task. In such cases the following process must be followed:

The teacher/Head Teacher is to be kept informed as soon as students are aware of events/illness that may affect their performance/completion of the task.

The Head Teacher must sight all work completed to that date, demonstrating the progress the student has made.

Discuss the reason with the Head Teacher of the subject and complete section 2 of the “Application for Late Assessment” form, stating the reason why an extension or alternative date is sought.

(Forms are available from the subject Head Teacher. An example is shown on page 7.)

Take the form to the Head Teacher of the subject to complete. The Head Teacher will make a decision in consultation with the Principal if appropriate.

If approved, the Principal will notify the Head Teacher of the subject who will either: a) allow the student to do the same task, if applicable, or b) allow the student to do a suitable alternative task, or c) allow for an estimate for that task only, based on the quality of the student’s work in the components being assessed.

Note: Submitting an application for late assessment does not necessarily mean that an extension will be granted. In the case of school endorsed activities - including Work Placement, TAFE mandatory tasks, sporting representation, debating, public speaking etc: If you are involved in a school endorsed activity, it is your responsibility to complete, by the set date, any assessment tasks that may be due in your absence. You must see the teacher/s involved as soon as you are aware of these commitments and negotiate a solution if the task is an in class activity or exam. If this is the case a Late Assessment Application form must be completed and given to the relevant Head Teacher. Any hand in assessment task will be expected on the due date or before. For Work Placement, a document must be signed by all class teachers acknowledging your absence. This will give you an opportunity to speak to all class teachers about work that may be missed and assessment task issues. It is the student’s responsibility to catch up on any work missed. Being involved in a school endorsed activity is not a reason for late assessment. Being able to manage these commitments successfully requires careful forward planning by the student and communication with the teachers involved. It is essential that teachers are aware of your progress and work efforts and they must be informed of your impending absence prior to any school endorsed activity. In the case of a suspension the student must indicate to the Principal, upon being suspended, if they will miss any assessment tasks during the suspension period. They will then be expected to demonstrate to the Head Teacher of the subject the progress that they have made on the task/s prior to leaving the school to begin their suspension. Once the suspension has been resolved the student must make an application for late assessment. Note: It is the student’s responsibility to see the Head Teacher on the day they know of any circumstance which may require them to miss an assessment task. Alternatively, if a task is missed due to an unforeseen circumstance, it is the student’s responsibility to see the Head Teacher the day they return to school after the absence. Failure to do so will result in a zero for that task.
