Year 11 Assessment Booklet
A Note to Students Foreword Dear Year 11 Student It is important for you to read and understand this comprehensive description of Assessments for each HSC subject. At the end of your reading you should understand fully what Assessment Tasks you are required to complete for each subject that you are studying in the Higher School Certificate. You can then use this detail provided in this booklet as the basis of your planning and your scheduling of tasks for your subjects throughout the year. The number of tasks for each subject is clearly set out. For each of your Higher School Certificate subjects you should clearly understand the sequence, approximate time of the task, the relative value of the task and the outcomes to be assessed. From these descriptions you can draw up your own calendar of assessments with all tasks from all of the subjects you are studying. This will enable you to identify times of heavier demands and workload and times where fewer tasks are planned and adapt your planning to complete all tasks on time.
This information is extremely important for you in planning effectively, organising your time and scheduling your effort to meet these demands. You will consequently be better prepared by knowing what tasks are still ahead.
Please remember, if some of your subjects are VET subjects, the assessment for each module in these is based on you achieving a range of competencies and completing the required number of hours of work placement. At different times through the course, your skills and knowledge will be assessed at times that are appropriate and relevant to your own development. This is a matter to be determined by you and your teacher.
This Year 11 Subject Assessment Schedule is critical to your future, so it is also important for you to develop a close, working relationship with each of your teachers. You should immediately contact them when you have problems; you should use the positive feedback they give you as an extremely important means of improving your results.
Finally, the contents of this Assessment Booklet will enable you to be better organised and prepared. consequently this will help to minimise the stress and pressure you put on yourself. Use this booklet wisely in your final year of schooling. A Forrester
(Principal)
Year 11 Assessment 2018 Assessment – The Basics
Assessment in Year 11 is based on your individual Subject Assessment Advice (see below), issued by your subject teacher.
Whilst your final assessment rank position will be made available to you, you will not be informed of your final assessment mark.
Your ATAR is calculated differently and separately.
For each subject there will be approximately three to six tasks; any individual task is not normally worth less than 10%, or more than 40% of the total weighted mark.
You will receive clear feedback on your performance in each task- using this feedback is a major way to improve your results.
A marking guide will be provided for each task.
Besides describing the strengths and weaknesses of your task, teacher feedback should also indicate:
the student’s attainment in the task relative to the outcomes.
the student’s relative position within the group.
the cumulative rank at the current time.
At the end of Year 11 & 12 you only receive your final assessment rank order ONLY in each subject.
Assessment Advice You will be provided with written advice about the assessment generally (this policy) and assessment in each course (subject) from your teacher. This advice will include:
Assessment components and their weightings (important)
the general nature of each assessment task.
a schedule of when assessment tasks are planned; there must be provision for adequate notice of the precise timing of each assessment task.
the weight value of each task in relation to the total weighted mark for the course.
details of administrative arrangements associated with each task (eg the school will deal with absence, late submission of tasks, illness during the tasks etc)
details on the school’s policy on malpractice (see later) in the assessment tasks.
Details of procedures to be implemented if tasks produce individual or unreliable results.
o Note: that the results of assessment tasks that have been completed by students generally cannot be discarded.
Details of procedures for dealing with student appeals arising from assessment tasks.
Assessment marks must not be modified to take into account possible effects of illness or domestic situation. We may offer you a substitute task or, in exceptional circumstances, an estimate based on other tasks.
Important rules you should remember 1) You must hand in your assessment task in at the beginning of the period when you have that
subject or by the nominated due time to your teacher or head teacher of the faculty if you do not have the subject that day.
2) Your teacher will give you at least 10 school days notice in writing, before any assessment task is due, and the precise time required for it to be handed in.
3) You will also be told of the nature of the task, the topic area, outcomes to be assessed and relative importance of the task.
4) Your teacher will usually mark and return the task within 10 school days after the task is due – this may be delayed through student absences and other interruptions.
5) You will receive your mark/grade and your rank (where you came in that subject compared to all other students) and your cumulative rank, after every assessment task. You will not be informed of your final assessment mark.
6) The teacher will also provide you with meaningful feedback about how you went in the task – strengths and weaknesses in your performance. Using this feedback, you can make significant improvement in your results.
7) You can always obtain access to your marks/ranks from your teacher at mutually convenient times (with the exception of the final assessment mark).
8) There will be no assessment tasks in the five school days before your Half Yearly and Yearly examinations and no assessment tasks (other than examinations) during the exam period, although some tasks, such as major projects for the Board of Studies, may fall during formal examinations.
What to do when things go wrong! (1) If you do not hand in an assessment task before the nominated due time/absent from school on the day of the assessable:
On your first day back you must approach the Head Teacher of the faculty, prior to 9 am, and obtain, fill in and return an Appendix A Form as soon as possible.
You should also include with your APPENDIX A, a Doctor’s Certificate (when sick) and/or note from your mother/father/caregiver explaining your justified absence.
Note: A note from home may not be sufficient to prevent you from receiving 0 for a task.
The Head Teacher/Principal will decide what happens.
Possibilities include: receiving zero for the task do the task at a later (mutually convenient) date. do a substitute task in extreme cases – receive an estimate for the task based on your current rank order.
Students using “Appendix A’s” will be monitored and interviewed by the Principal when more than one Appendix A is used by a student.(recorded in First Class Welfare)
If you receive a zero for any assessment task: You should seek immediate help/support from your teacher and ensure that this serious
problem will not arise again. This is your responsibility. Your Year Adviser may also be able to help you.
You will have a letter sent home advising your parents/caregivers of the circumstances and warning them of possible future repercussions. You will receive a copy of this letter, as well as digital advice, to sign and return the “receipt” at the end of the letter proving that you have received it. The record in the schools postal book of the despatch of this letter will be considered proof of both the dispatch and receipt of this correspondence.
(2) If you receive another zero in that subject: In addition to (2), you will also be interviewed by the Deputy Principal and Head Teacher. In
this interview you will have the process of an “N” determination, possibilities of expulsion and the seriousness of the situation explained.
You will also receive a copy of your second official warning.
Your parents/caregivers will be asked to come to school by the Deputy Principal and Head Teacher, for an interview; you will attend that interview.
Even though you have received a zero, you will still have to submit a task to satisfy BOS course requirements.
(2) If you receive another Zero – but in a different subject
In addition to (2) you may be interviewed by the Head Teacher/Deputy Principal.
Your parents/caregivers will be invited to come to the school for an interview by the Deputy Principal and / or Head Teacher – with you in attendance.
Board of Studies HSC Rules The HSC rules state that you must make a genuine attempt to complete tasks to the value of
more than 50% of the assessment tasks marks in each subject.
You must work in each subject with “diligence and sustained effort”. You are expected therefore, to work every period in each subject and attend school regularly.
“Diligence and sustained effort” is also important for assessing students for “Principal’s Recommendations” for University entrance and also critical aspects of any character reference for a student.
Generally you must attend school for at least 85% of school time. Students who have high levels of absence from school may be in danger of being given an “N” determination in that subject. The best results in subjects are more often than not, from students who have high levels of attendance. Warning letters will be sent home and interviews (with parents/caregivers) will occur.
Malpractice and breaches of examination rules Students who do not comply with the Board of Studies examination rules for a course may have their paper cancelled for that course. This may render the student ineligible for the Record of Achievement and/or the HSC
During the school formal examinations, student malpractice/breaches of the examination rules may have their papers cancelled. In some subjects this may mean students have not completed at least 50% of assessment task marks and this would result in an “N” determination in that subject. Such breaches would also have to be judged as to whether they constitute a “non-serious attempt”.
“N” Determinations An “N” determination decided by the Principal means that you have “failed” that subject. These determinations are given to students who do not meet course requirements after support and assistance. This may be due to a failure to meet the (85%) attendance requirements or failure to completed at least 51% of assessment tasks’ marks.
A Course where the Principal gives an “N” determination will not be included on the student’s Record of Achievement.
Sometimes an “N” determination may mean that the student is also ineligible for the Award of Year 11 HSC and therefore ineligible for the HSC unless the entire Year 11 Subject is re-sat successfully. Even if that subject is dropped, the Year 11 year must be successfully completed for that subject
“Students studying a Year 11 HSC course must make a genuine attempt to complete course requirements. It is a matter for the teacher’s professional judgement to determine whether a student has made a genuine attempt to complete these course requirements”.
This decision would be made after discussions with the Head Teacher and Principal.
“Students must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks which contribute in excess of 50% of the available marks”.
“Where students are studying VET Framework courses, they must also complete the mandatory work placement hours in order to be deemed satisfactory.”
The Board of Studies will withhold a course if a student is found to have engaged in malpractice or a non-serious attempt at the examination(s). If a student is found to have engaged in malpractice in the examinations for more than one course in any single year, then all courses attempted in that year will be withheld by the Board.”
Expulsion of Students A post-compulsory aged student may be expelled from school for: “Unsatisfactory participation in learning, eg a documented pattern of non-satisfactory completion, non-serious attempts to meet course objectives and/or compliance with the Board of Studies requirements for the award of a Higher School Certificate”.
“Prior to making a decision to expel… the student must receive at least one formal written warning that such action is being contemplated. A program of improvement should be developed in conjunction with the student. The student must also be provided with a reasonable period in which to demonstrate an improvement in his or her participation”.
Mandatory work placement An “N” determination may be given to a student who has not undertaken or completed the compulsory work placement – the student has not made a “genuine attempt” to complete course requirements. Organising this work placement is your responsibility (with the support/advice of your teacher and the Workplace Coordinator).
Invalid/unreliable assessment results If the assessment task is deemed to have produced invalid or unreliable results, the assessment task will not be included in the final compilation of final assessment marks. After discussions with the Head Teacher and students, the teacher will decide to: (a) use a substitute, re-scheduled task or (b) given the number of assessment tasks remaining, omit the task in question entirely Where more than one class undertakes the assessment task, the teachers will make the final decision after negotiations and advice from the Head Teacher and students.
Reviews The school sends the final assessment marks to the Board of Studies with a particular final rank order. Student marks remain confidential. The Board will send to the school, cards for each student,
detailing their rank order in each subject. It is the student’s responsibility to collect the card. A student may request an assessment review – based on their rank order placement.
The review will focus on the school’s procedures for determining the final assessment mark (not the teachers’ judgements of the worth of the individual performances in assessment tasks)
The marks and grades awarded will not be subject to review. Students may also seek a review of any “N” determination.
Any review is managed by the Principal. The Board of Studies– focusing on whether the school review was conducted properly, may make further reviews. The student will be advised of the outcome of the review.
Other Matters Incomplete Tasks – It is better for a student to submit an incomplete task than not to submit a task at all (you must attempt over 50% of assessment marks).
A Non-serious Attempt – student fails to seriously attempt all section/s of a task. A non-serious attempt means the task is not included as part of the individual students’ assessment.
Truanting – if a student truants from school to avoid an assessable task, a zero will be awarded, with the associated other repercussions.
More Help – contact your teacher, the Head Teacher, your Year Adviser, the Deputy Principal, the Principal or any other staff member.
Assessment tasks – absences on the day prior to an assessment task being due must have a justified reason for absence

Glossary of key words Syllabus outcomes, objectives, performance bands and examination questions have key words that state what students are expected to be able to do. A glossary of key words has been developed to help provide a common language and consistent meaning in the Higher School Certificate documents. Using the glossary will help teachers and students understand what is expected in responses to examinations and assessment tasks.

Using computers to prepare assessments Students using computers to prepare assessments must have:
A back-up disk
A printout of progressive hard copies, as they work through their assignment
Kept all rough notes during the preparation of the assignment
These excuses are not acceptable: My disk or USB is corrupt
My printer ran out of paper
The files were lost
When situations like these arise it your responsibility to submit at least one of the following:
rough notes
Back-up disk which the student can print from later in the day using the school facilities. Students are to be aware of incompatibility regarding software used and the school structures.
progressive hardcopies
In the event that TECHNOLOGY is a necessary component of an assignment, it is essential that satisfactory in class access is given to students to use this technology in either the library or computer rooms. The marking guidelines must be structured in such a way that the content of the assignment not the presentation generated by the use of the technology carries the majority of the weighting for marks. It is not satisfactory for a fully programmed POWERPOINT DISPLAY to be presented as a student’s oral presentation. The student must speak and only use the PowerPoint display to visually enhance their presentation.
Group work Group work needs to be thoroughly planned to ensure no student is at a disadvantage. At the School when a Group work task is issued it is mandatory that an INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT is completed for submission by each student in the group.
Responsibility of students in examinations Full school uniform must be worn to all examinations. Prepare yourself properly for the
examination
Be outside the examination room at least 10 minutes prior to the examination starting time
Have pencils, pens, calculator etc in a clear plastic sleeve – pencil cases are not permitted in the examination room
Leave all books, paper, study notes in your bag outside the examination room
No paper is to be brought into the examination room – writing paper will be supplied
Respond properly to all directions given by the supervisor
Use the full time allocated for an examination – no student will be permitted to leave the examination room early
There is to be no borrowing of equipment during the examination
Put your hand up to ask a question
Do not disturb any person during the time you are in an examination room
Put up your hand and ask permission if you need to go to the toilet
Mobile phones and IPods are not permitted in the examination room Senior students who are unable to attend a scheduled examination due to illness must notify the School Office prior to the commencement of the examination and provide a medical certificate on their return to school. Students who are unable to attend the scheduled time for examinations due to an important appointment or commitment must see the subject Head Teacher prior to the examination period.
Depending on the situation the student may sit the paper at alternate time OR an estimate will be given based on the student’s previous standard of performance. This will be at the discretion of the Head Teacher and Principal.
Plagiarism What is plagiarism? In recent years a small number of students have found themselves in difficulties as they result of submitting assessment tasks which have been copied in whole or in part, from the intellectual work of others. On occasion this has been done innocently, the student not realising they were doing anything wrong. However, whether innocent or not, the presentation of someone’s work as your own (plagiarism) is against the rules of Glen Innes High School, and is not acceptable. It is likely to result in severe penalties, depending on the extent of the plagiarism. Generally, a percentage calculation of the proportion of the assessment that has been plagiarised is completed and this proportion of the mark is awarded zero. If students are copying work from other students, then in this instance both students will be penalised.
What do I need to do to avoid plagiarism? 1) Have a BIBLIOGRAPHY?
A Bibliography is a list of books and publications you have used in your research. 2) HOW DO I SET OUT A BIBLIOGRAPHY?
See your class teacher for examples. There are also samples available in the Library:
