REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF THE HSC

If you wish to be awarded the HSC:

You must have satisfactorily completed courses that meet the pattern of study required

by the Board of Studies for the award of the Higher School Certificate. This includes the

completion of the practical, oral or project works required for specific courses and the

assessment requirements for each course.

You must have sat for and made a serious attempt at the Higher School Certificate

examinations.

You must study a minimum of 12 units in the Preliminary course and a minimum of

10 units in the HSC course. Both the Preliminary course and the HSC course must

include the following:

at least 6 units from Board Developed Courses including at least 2 units of a

Board Developed Course in English

at least three courses of 2 units value or greater

at least four subjects.

At most 6 units of courses in Science can contribute to Higher School Certificate eligibility.

The Board of Studies publication, Studying for the New South Wales Higher School

Certificate – An Information Booklet for Year 10 Students, contains all the HSC rules

and requirements you will need to know.

If you wish to receive the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), you must

study a minimum of 10 Board Developed units in the HSC Course. The booklet,

University Entry Requirements 2013 Year 10 Booklet, published by UAC and

available at the end of July, 2013, will contain important information about entry to

university courses, course prerequisites and other information to assist your choice of

HSC courses for study in Years 11 and 12 in preparation for university entry.

If you do not wish to receive an ATAR, the rest of your courses may be made up from

Board Endorsed Courses once you have studied six units from Board Developed

Courses.

ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES 2013

What Do We Mean By HSC Assessment? Since 1986, HSC examination candidates have received two marks for each subject listed on

their certificate. One of these marks reflects the final examination performance and the other

is a moderated school assessment reflecting the student's achievement throughout their

Higher School Certificate course. It is the school assessment mark which this booklet

explains as well as providing information for the planning of individual student assessment

program.

Assessment Guidelines The Board of Studies supervises the Preliminary and HSC courses in New South Wales. The

Board prepares syllabuses, oversees the production of the examination papers, the marking of

the papers and the provision of the Higher School Certificate. The Board has also produced

guidelines for all schools on every subject examined by the HSC. These guidelines outline

the basis on which the school assessment mark should be calculated. The Board has provided

teachers with a framework for producing assessment plans covering the course areas and

skills to be assessed in both the Preliminary and HSC courses.

Assessment Tasks At Westfields Sports High each faculty has prepared an assessment plan for its HSC courses.

These plans require students to complete various tasks of a physical, written, oral, graphic

and numerical nature. Each plan contains approximately 5 assessable tasks, although the

number and type of assessable task may differ from subject to subject.

For the most part HSC assessable tasks start in Term 4 of year11 and continue until just

before the HSC examination. The main purpose of the tasks is to determine a rank and spread

of achievement amongst the students in each subject.

Moderation of School Assessment Towards the end of Term 3 in year 12, the school assessment marks are sent in to the Board.

The Board will note the spread and the order of marks. The school assessment marks of the

whole group of students at Westfields Sports High are then moderated by the whole group's

final examination marks in each subject. This moderation might have the effect of changing

the actual assessment mark but the order (rank) and relative difference between students (the

spread) remains the same. Apart from this moderation, the school assessment results and the

final examination marks are completely separate and have no other direct influence on each

other.

Assessment Plans Each of the Assessment Plans included indicates the type of task which will be required to

complete the school assessment. They also indicate the relative value or weight of each of the

tasks with reference to the total assessment value. Also included is the predicted time when

each will take place. Students will be informed well in advance and in writing of any change

to the assessment plans. It is the intention of the teachers at our school, that the students will

have a continual assessment load rather than being overloaded at any one time.

Non-Assessable Task Since there are only a limited number of tasks in each of the assessment plans, it is important

to realise that in order to gain competence in the skills required to complete these tasks and

the H.S.C. examination there will be other tasks required from the student. These tasks will

not be directly included in calculating the total assessment. However, if students do not

attempt these non-assessable tasks they will not only have missed out on important practice


8 of 45

and feedback from their teachers but they place their candidature for the H.S.C. in jeopardy

for not having satisfactorily completed the subject.

Assessments are Progressive Student assessments are progressive. This means that the mark for each new task will be

added to the marks of the previous tasks. This reflects their overall achievement in the course.

For this reason it is quite possible that most students will end up with assessment marks

which are quite different to their examination marks.

Ranking After each task has been marked students will be given their ranking on that task. Towards

the end of Term 3 in Year 12, students will be given their final progressive ranking for each

subject. It is important that students understand that the school is not allowed to give them the

final assessment mark which it submits to the Board, but the school will keep them informed

of their ranking within subjects.

Presenting an Assessable Task When presenting an assessable task students are asked to complete an Assessable Task

Submission Slip and keep the tear off section as a record of having submitted the task. In

convenient cases and as added security students are advised to keep a copy of the submitted

task. In those cases where an exam is the assessable task the teacher will keep a record of the

students present. It is the student‟s responsibility to ensure that the whole of an assessment

task is presented at the due time.

Failure to Submit In order to have studied a course satisfactorily a candidate is expected to have attempted all

assessment tasks. If a student fails to submit an assessment task and the school recognises a

valid reason (medical or approved leave), then he/she may be given a substitute task by their

teacher. In case of illness students must notify the school by phone the day the task is due and

present the Deputy Principal with a Doctor's Certificate and Doctor's Assessment of their

fitness to sit the task on their first day back at school. It is important to note that a medical

certificate will support an application for a substitute task but does NOT GUARANTEE its

granting.

Where practical, leave must be applied for in advance of the task completion date. Prior

approval for late submission of an assessment task must be sought from the Head Teacher of

the faculty concerned, and the Deputy Principal. Students attending special sporting events

will continue to use the procedure set in place for obtaining prior approval for late

submission. See the attached form School Approved Student Leave. This form should be

completed before the absence from an assessable task. Only in exceptional circumstances

would the Principal consider approval after the due date. Students, individually, are

responsible for these matters. They should not expect teachers to remind them. Students

should note that teachers are not permitted to adjust marks for illness or misadventure.

Assessment is restricted to actual achievement of the set tasks. Only in exceptional cases can

the school principal authorise an estimate.

If appropriate evidence is not presented and neither is the task then the student will be

awarded zero marks for that task. If a student fails to complete a number of assessable tasks

which total 50% or more of the final assessment mark, then the Principal must certify that the

course has not been studied satisfactorily. In such a case, the student will be deemed to have

failed the course and will not receive either an assessment mark or an examination mark for

that subject on his/her Higher School Certificate. This may mean that the candidate will not

receive a certificate if he/she has not completed at least 10 units in the HSC course. In the

case of 3 or 4 unit courses, candidates who fail to meet the assessment requirements for the

common (2 or 3 unit) part of the subject will not receive a result in the course at all.


9 of 45

Malpractice It is expected that any assessable task submitted will be the student's own work. In the event

of malpractice (cheating) being detected, the task in question will be awarded zero and the

assessable task regarded as a non attempt. Students who willingly share whole or part of an

assessable task also run the risk of having their task designated a non attempt.

Attendance and Punctuality It should be noted that students whose attendance or punctuality is poor may leave

themselves liable to exclusion from eligibility to sit for the HSC.

Reporting There will be two formal reports for students: One at the middle of the year after the Half

Yearly exam period, and again at the end of term 3 after the Trial HSC Exams. Each time the

parents will receive an official report from each subject giving the latest examination mark.

Teachers will also provide comments about the student's progress in the subject. If there is

any concern about a student's performance at any time, then the parents will be notified by

letter. Letters of concern are sent in the middle of each term, and before the Parent Teacher

evening at the end of term 2.

Review and Assessments It is important for students and parents to understand that the Board has specifically stated

that a teacher's judgment of the worth of individual assessment tasks, as reflected in the mark

or grade awarded will not be subject to review as part of this process.

If any questions arise regarding the assessable tasks, then the students are encouraged to

discuss the matter with their teacher. If, after consultation with their teacher there is still a

problem, students should consult the Head Teacher of the faculty concerned.

If, after students have collected their rank order card from the Board of Studies, they feel that

any of these rankings is significantly different to their expectations based on earlier feedback

from their teachers, they can then request a review of their assessment rankings. This request

must be made on a form available from the Deputy Principal.

The ‘N’ Determination

You will receive an „N‟ determination in a course if you do not:

(a) follow the course developed or endorsed by the Board of Studies, and

(b) apply yourself with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences

provided in the course by the school, and

(c) achieve some or all of the course outcomes.

Satisfactory completion of courses is judged, among other things, by your attendance and

level of achievement in class, the proportion of assignments, homework, etc. completed and

your level of achievement.

If the Principal determines that you are in danger of not completing a course satisfactorily,

you will be warned in writing in time for you to correct the problem and satisfactorily

complete the course. Parents are required to return acknowledge of receipt of such

notification to the Head Teacher of the subject concerned.

If you are deemed to not to have completed a course, you will receive an „N‟ beside the

course on your Record of Achievement Part A and this may mean that you are not eligible for

the Award of Higher School Certificate in that year.


10 of 45

Technology If a student completes an assessment task using technology

1, then it is the student‟s

responsibility to …

i. take the required steps to learn and be able to use such technology,

ii. ascertain the compatibility of the technology2 for such a purpose,

iii. plan for the availability and supply of such things as disks, CD R, paper and toner for

the printer,

iv. take steps to back up their own files and data.

Students can NOT use the failure or incompatibility of technology to justify the failure to submit an

assessment task.

It is a student‟s responsibility to plan for all eventualities including the non-availability of

school computers, printers, scanners, cameras or other supplies, and make their own

provisions to safeguard, protect3 and backup their own data and files.

Students must also submit hard copies of digital work. This means students are to negotiate

with their teachers or follow the faculty policies with regards to printing work that exists as

web pages or as presentations. It is unreasonable to expect that students will print huge

numbers of pages, where a sample could suffice. Teachers and faculties have the right to

restrict the amount of printing carried out on the schools printers. Teachers also have the right

to specify how a work is to be presented. Students are not to take for granted that teachers can

or will mark their work from thumb drives, CD ROM’s or web sites. Teachers can not be

expected to be responsible for work presented on disks when it is well know that thumb

drives may not open, CD ROM’s can get scratched and web servers can go down. Teachers

are not to be expected to print student's work, when it is the student’s responsibility.

If students plan their work accordingly then teachers may be willing to accommodate their

needs.

2 e.g. hardware, software, interface, disk drives

3 e.g. virus attack, hard disk crash, operating system failure, computer failure

Senior assessment tasks are a compulsory and necessary component of the School Certificate and Higher

School Certificate. Absence from an assessable task could be an indication of a student's non-serious

attempt, placing at risk the award of the School Certificate or the Higher School Certificate.

It is the responsibility of a student who fails to submit an assessable task to make proper application for

consideration under the published rules of the Assessment Procedures.

PLAGIARISM Definition

Plagiarism means presenting the ideas and words of others as if they were your own. Creating

your own work and using the work of others which you have acknowledged is not plagiarism.

What you must do to avoid plagiarism

1. You must give a reference if you take a fact or idea directly from someone else.

2. If you use the exact words of your source (if you quote), then you must enclose the whole quotation in

inverted commas. If you don't use quotation marks, you can be accused of plagiarism.

3. Use your own words if you take information from other sources.

The school reserves the right to award a zero mark to work that contains any plagiarism at all.

REFERENCING Referencing is a way of acknowledging the work of others which you have used in you task or assignment. The

order for documenting references for books, journals and periodicals is as follows:

author's surname and initials

* year of publication

* title of publication in italics with maximal capitalisation

* title of series, volume number, edition, if applicable

* editor, reviser, compiler or translator, if other than the author

* publisher

* place of publication

* page number or numbers, if applicable

For example

Popper, K.R. 1961, The Poverty of Historicism, Routledge & Kegan Paul, London.

Online (electronic) material

For electronic media (World Wide Web, disk or CD-ROM) the order for references is as follows:

* Author‟s surname and initials

* Date of publication

* Date of revision in parentheses in day-month-year format

* Date accessed in parentheses in day-month-year format

* Title of article in single quotation marks with minimal capitalisation

* Title of work in italics with maximal capitalisation

* Address of site, written on a separate line if necessary to avoid hyphenation, which can cause

confusion.

For example, a World Wide Web site may be quoted like this:
