extendedtoalsocapturegradesforcoursesastudentcompletesinYearEleven.▪ If a student leaves school before receiving a grade in Years Elevenor Twelve courses, their RoSAwill record the

coursestheycommenced.▪ This measures acknowledges the fact that many students begin senior secondary study but leave school for

employmentorothertrainingopportunitiesbeforereceivingtheirHSC.FairAllocationofGradesItisimportantforparents,employersandstudentstoknowthatgradesawardedfortheRoSAcredentialaregivenfairlyandconsistently.▪ NSW teachers are very experienced in determining the standard of work that warrants a particular grade. As

grading is extended into senior secondary courses, NESA will work with teachers to ensure that appropriatestandardsaredevelopedandappliedatthatlevel.

▪ TheNESAwillalsoprovideschoolswithinformationaboutthehistoricalallocationofgradestotheirstudents.Thiswillserveasaguidefortheallocationofgradestocurrentstudents.
