A GLOSSARY OF KEY WORDS

This glossary contains key words that appear frequently in Board of Studies syllabuses, performance descriptions and examinations. The purpose behind the glossary is to help students prepare better for the HSC by showing them that certain key words are used similarly in examination questions across the different subjects they are studying. In classrooms, teachers of different subjects could use the glossary to help students to better understand what the examination questions in their subject require. Students should recognise the consistent approach of teachers of different subjects and get cues about how to approach examination questions. For example, students would be better placed to respond to 'explain' questions if, in the context of different subjects, they developed an understanding that 'explain' could require them to relate cause and effect; make the relationships between things evident; provide why and/or how. It is also important that the key words should not be interpreted in an overly prescriptive way. Teachers must ensure that they do not use them in ways that conflict with their particular meaning within subjects. To do this would be counterproductive. A term like 'evaluate', for example, requires a different kind of response in Mathematics from that required in History and this needs to be respected. When using key words to construct questions, tasks and marking schemes, it is helpful to ask what the use of the term in a particular question requires students to do. Key words are best discussed with students in the context of questions and tasks they are working on, rather than in isolation. It is important to note that examination questions for the HSC will continue to use self-explanatory terms such as 'how', or 'why' or 'to what extent'. While key words have a purpose, they will not set limits on legitimate subject-based questions in examination papers.

INTRODUCTION This handbook has been put together to communicate to parents and students the assessment strategies which our school will undertake for the HSC Course in the 2013 academic year. The information stated before these Assessment Guidelines are vital for all students and parents to read as they contain rules on student‟s progression and the HSC. These rules are broken into two main areas: -„Board of Studies‟ and „College Based‟ Policies. Students will receive a minimum of two weeks‟ notice for any such change to Assessment Tasks not already published in this document.

BOARD OF STUDIES POLICIES ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for the award of the Higher School Certificate students must:

(a) have gained the School Certificate or such other qualifications as the Board of Studies considers satisfactory;

(b) have attended a government school, an accredited non-government school, a school outside New South Wales recognised by the Board or a college of TAFE;

(c) have satisfactorily completed courses that comprise the pattern of study required by the Board for the award of the Higher School Certificate;

(d) sit for and make a serious attempt at the requisite Higher School Certificate external examinations. PATTERNS OF STUDY

To qualify for the Higher School Certificate, students must satisfactorily complete a HSC (Preliminary) pattern of study comprising at least 12 units and an HSC pattern of study comprising at least 10 units. Both patterns must include:

at least six units from Board Developed courses;

at least two units of a Board Developed course in English;

at least three courses of two units value or greater (either Board Developed or Board Endorsed courses);

at least four subjects. To satisfy pattern of study requirements for the Higher School Certificate a student may count a maximum of six HSC (Preliminary) units and six HSC units from courses in Science. All Science subjects are separate courses. SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF A COURSE

The following course completion criteria refer to both HSC (Preliminary) and HSC courses. 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; and (b) applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the

course by the school; and (c) achieved some or all of the course outcomes. ‘N’ DETERMINATIONS

While the Board of Studies does not stipulate attendance requirements, principals may determine that, as a result of absence, the course completion criteria may not be met. Clearly, absences will be regarded seriously by principals who must give students early warning of the consequences of such absences. Warning letters must relate students‟ absence to the non-completion of course requirements. If at any time it appears that a student is at risk of being given an „N‟ (Non-completion of course requirements) determination in any course, the principal must warn the student as soon as possible and advise the parent or guardian (if the student is under 18 years of age) in writing. This warning should be given in time for the problem to be corrected. If the first warning letter is not effective, a further warning letter(s) should be sent.


Students who have not complied with the above requirements cannot be regarded as having satisfactorily completed the course. The principal will then apply the „N‟ determination. In some cases this means the student may need to repeat this course the following year and the student may not receive an HSC or HSC/ATAR.

HSC (Preliminary) Courses Satisfactory completion of the HSC (Preliminary) course or its equivalent is a prerequisite for entry into an HSC course. In cases of non-completion of course requirements, an „N‟ determination will be submitted on the appropriate forms. Courses that were not satisfactorily completed will not be printed on Records of Achievement. The Extension courses in English and Mathematics comprise 60 hours HSC (Preliminary), 60 hours HSC Extension Course 1 and 60 hours HSC Extension Course 2. HSC Extension Course 1 may not be completed without completion of the HSC (Preliminary) Extension Course. HSC Extension Course 2 may not be completed without completion of the HSC (Preliminary) Extension Course and HSC Extension Course 1. With the exception of VET, in all other subjects where extension courses are available, they comprise a 60-hour HSC course, which may not be commenced until the related HSC (Preliminary) course has been completed. Principals may allow a student who has received an „N‟ determination to proceed to the HSC course provisionally while concurrently satisfying any outstanding HSC (Preliminary) course requirements. Normally this does not occur. Principals will be required to confirm, at the time of HSC entries, that the student has now satisfactorily completed HSC (Preliminary) course requirements and that their entry for the HSC course is valid.

Students who have received an ‘N’ determination have a right of appeal.

CREDENTIALING All students who meet the eligibility, pattern of study and assessment requirements are entitled to the award of a Higher School Certificate testamur and a Record of Achievement. Where a student receives an „N‟ determination in a course, that course will not appear on the student‟s Record of Achievement. In some cases the student will not then meet the pattern of study requirements and hence will be ineligible for the award of the Higher School Certificate in that year. The Board may withhold a course if a student is found to have engaged in malpractice or a non-serious attempt at the examination(s). If the „N‟ determination or the Board‟s withholding of the course results in a student not satisfactorily completing the required pattern of study, the student may complete the pattern by either repeating that course or undertaking another course(s) within the five-year accumulation period. If a student is found to have engaged in malpractice in examinations for more than one course in any single year, then all courses attempted in that year may be withheld by the Board. Students may, however, meet the requirements for the award of the Higher School Certificate within the five-year accumulation period.

Credentialing Courses in the VET Curriculum Frameworks If the student elects to sit for the examination in the 240-hour VET Industry Curriculum Framework course, the examination is reported as a separate entry on the Record of Achievement with an examination mark, HSC mark and performance band. The student will also receive a Course Report. If the student elects not to sit for the examination, no additional entry is made. For all courses within the VET Industry Curriculum Frameworks, reference is made to other documentation. VET Board Endorsed Courses studied at school are reported on the Higher School Certificate Record of Achievement without a mark.

Credentialing VET Board Endorsed Courses VET Board Endorsed Courses delivered by TAFE will be reported on the Higher School Certificate Record of Achievement without a mark. Students receive additional documentation from TAFE that provides more detailed information regarding the TAFE subjects studied and the results obtained.

WHAT ARE BOARD ENDORSED VET COURSES? Board Endorsed Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are courses based on National Industry Training Packages that are endorsed by the Board of Studies for inclusion in the Higher School Certificate (HSC). Board Endorsed VET Courses for the HSC must describe:

The course structures proposed for endorsement, for example as 120 indicative hours (2 HSC units).


The VET qualification outcomes.

The course requirements for each course structure proposed, including compulsory and elective units of competency and work placement requirements.

Board Endorsed VET Courses for the HSC do not have an HSC external examination and are not eligible for an ATAR.

COMPLETION OF COURSE REQUIREMENTS IN A VET COURSE As with all other HSC courses, students undertaking VET courses may be deemed to have either completed or not completed course requirements. The Course Completion Criteria listed under Satisfactory Completion of a Course on page 5, form the basis for this decision. It should be noted that if a student fails to undertake any mandatory work placement component it may be determined that the student has not made a genuine attempt to complete course requirements. In this case the principal can indicate that the course has not been satisfactorily completed and the student may be eligible for an „N‟ determination. If at any stage a student appears to be at risk of receiving an „N‟ determination in a VET course the principal should follow the same procedure as for any other HSC course.

ATTENDANCE IN RELATION TO THE SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF A COURSE For post-compulsory students (over the age of 17), principals may determine an appropriate attendance pattern(s) that will allow each student to achieve the outcomes of each course being studied. Principals may determine that, as a result of absence, the course completion criteria may not be met. All absences will be regarded seriously by Principals who must give students early warning of the consequences of such absences. Warning letters must relate the student‟s absence to the non-completion of course requirements.

GRANTING OF LEAVE Granting of leave is a matter for the individual school principal to determine. The principal has discretion in granting leave provided that he or she is satisfied that the reason for the absence is substantial and that the progress of the student towards course outcomes will not be unduly affected. Where the period of leave requested is extensive, the student must demonstrate to the principal that outcomes in each course will be achieved. ACCUMULATION OF THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE There is no time restriction on the accumulation of HSC (Preliminary) courses. Students may accumulate HSC courses towards the Higher School certificate over up to five years. The five-year period will commence in the first year the student satisfactorily completes an HSC course. It will apply regardless of whether the student defers studies for one or more years during the five-year period. Accumulation of HSC courses cannot extend over more than a five-year period. The five-year period is a „rolling period‟ so that students wishing to go beyond the five years will have the earliest year‟s presentation deleted. Students should submit a Higher School Certificate entry by the due date in any year in which they attempt an HSC course. Students who are accumulating courses will receive a Record of Achievement or, for each calendar year of study. These cumulative transcripts will record all HSC (Preliminary) or HSC courses satisfactorily completed, including repeat attempts. On completion of the accumulation, all patterns of study requirements must have been met for both the HSC (Preliminary) and HSC study patterns. They need not be met for each calendar year of accumulation.

STUDY WITH AN OUTSIDE TUTOR Students who wish to study with an outside tutor must ensure that their pattern of study includes at least eight units in both the HSC (Preliminary) and HSC courses taken at an accredited school in NSW. The principal may give approval for the student to study additional courses with an outside tutor provided that the principal has determined that the proposed tutor is, by qualifications and/or experience and/or expertise, a suitable person to teach the Board‟s syllabus and is satisfied that: (a) the student‟s study of the course cannot be accommodated within the school; (b) the student will be able to study the HSC course with the outside tutor after completing the HSC

(Preliminary) course;


(c) the student and tutor have a copy of, or easy access to, the appropriate syllabus package; (d) the tutor has indicated in writing that the course will be taught in accordance with the Board‟s syllabus; (e) the tutor will provide to the principal and the student an assessment program for the course detailing:

(i) what will be assessed (i.e. components) (ii) when tasks have been scheduled (iii) how each task will be assessed (iv) how much weight will be given to each task (v) what administrative arrangements have been made;

(f) the tutor will provide assessment marks determined in accordance with syllabus guidelines but these marks will not be used except in the case of illness/misadventure.

STUDY OF COURSES – INDICATIVE TIME AND UNIT VALUE

HSC (Preliminary) and HSC Courses Satisfactory completion of the HSC (Preliminary) course or its equivalent is a prerequisite for entry into an HSC course. For HSC examining purposes, the HSC (Preliminary) course is to be regarded as assumed knowledge that has been covered by all candidates. Examination specifications ensure that the major focus of the examination will be on HSC course content. The HSC course is to be defined in terms of course content (i.e. the knowledge, skills and understandings outcomes) achievable following completion of the HSC (Preliminary) course or its equivalent. The study of prescribed texts (in any medium) for the Higher School Certificate must not commence until the relevant HSC (Preliminary) course has been completed. Where an HSC course has a project as part of the HSC examination, work on the following projects must not commence until the relevant HSC (Preliminary) course has been completed:

Design and Technology Major Design Project;

Drama Group Performance or Individual Projects;

Industrial Technology Major Project;

Music Performances, Elective Compositions, Elective Musicology Essays or Viva Voces;

Textiles and Design Major Textiles Project;

Visual Arts Body of Work;

English Extension 2 Major Work. With the exception of General Mathematics, Mathematics and Mathematics Extension 1 courses, internal assessment of a course for the HSC is to be conducted in relation to the HSC coursed only. For the General Mathematics course no more than 30%, and for the Mathematics course no more than 20%, of the assessment is to be based on the HSC (Preliminary course). Assessment for Mathematics Extension 1 can be based on the whole of the Extension 1 course (HSC (Preliminary) and HSC).

Units of study A unit of study comprises 60 hours indicative time in each of the HSC (Preliminary) and HSC courses. Indicative time is the time expected for a typical student to achieve the objectives and outcomes of the course. The indicative time for a course is therefore directly related to that course‟s objectives and outcomes. An HSC (Preliminary) 2 Unit Course and HSC (Preliminary) Extension course (in English and Mathematics) may be studied concurrently. For all HSC Extension courses except HSC Mathematics Extension 2, an HSC Extension Course may only be studied concurrently with, or after completing, the HSC 2 unit course in the subject. Studies of Religion I must be studied as both an HSC (Preliminary) Course and a HSC Course (120 hours) and students must satisfactorily complete the HSC (Preliminary) Course before commencing the HSC Course.

Changes of Subjects/Courses/Units Decisions regarding changes of subjects/courses/units will be left to the discretion of the principal within the guidelines provided below.

HSC Courses Students studying an HSC course may not change subjects or courses unless the Principal is satisfied they:


have satisfactorily completed the HSC (Preliminary) course (or equivalent) of the subject/course they wish to enter; and

will be able to complete all HSC course requirements, including assessment requirements. No changes in HSC entries may occur after 30 June in the HSC examination year.

PROCEDURES RELATING TO MALPRACTICE All work presented in assessment tasks and external examinations (including submitted works and practical examinations) must be your own or must be acknowledged appropriately. Malpractice, including plagiarism, could lead to your receiving zero marks and will jeopardise your HSC results. Malpractice is any activity that allows you to gain an unfair advantage over other students.


COLLEGE ASSESSMENT AT ST PAUL'S COLLEGE

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF HSC (PRELIMINARY) COURSES AND PROGRESSION TO HSC COURSES POLICY

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:

1. Applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the course.

The criteria used to decide whether there has been satisfactory application would be based on some or all of the following:

Work will be presented punctually

Work will reflect an appropriate depth of coverage

There will be a willingness to engage in the learning process in the classroom

The teacher will not be deflected from their task of teaching

Other students will be free to achieve their full potential in the course. 2. Achieved some or all of the course outcomes.

The criteria used to decide whether there has been satisfactory achievement would be based on the following:

At the end of the HSC (Preliminary) courses at the end of term 3 in year 11 a review of each student performance in terms of application and achievement will take place. This review process will be used to determine whether the student has satisfactorily completed their courses.

If the student hasn‟t satisfactorily completed a course or courses then an interview will take place between the parent, student and Principal so that agreed action can be taken to remedy the situation

Remedial Action The remedial action for unsatisfactory application may include: The student will be allowed to proceed to the HSC course on a trial basis, and a further review of the student‟s application made at the end of Term 4 in Year 11. The remedial action for unsatisfactory achievement may include: Remedial work would be set by the course teacher for the student and this must be completed by the student to a satisfactory standard by the end of Term 4 in Year 11. The normal course work for Term 4 must also be completed to a satisfactory standard. The course may be dropped and the student present for fewer units at HSC or, if possible, an additional course be taken up from another subject area. If there are two or more courses where remediation is required, repeating the HSC (Preliminary) or accumulating the HSC would be encouraged. This policy in no way impinges on the special arrangements made during the senior years between the principal and parents of some students who pursue a special patterns of study for the HSC(Preliminary) and HSC courses.

PURPOSES OF INTERNAL ASSESSMENT The assessment marks are intended to indicate students‟ achievements at the end of the HSC course. The assessment marks are based on;

a wider range of syllabus outcomes than can be measured by the external examination;

multiple measures and observations made throughout the HSC course rather than a single assessment event.

Measuring achievement at several points during the course can provide a better indication of student achievement than a single, final assessment event. Multiple measures also cater for any knowledge and skills outcomes that are better assessed in specific settings or at specific times (e.g. research, fieldwork or practical skills).


COLLEGE ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE An Assessment Committee is established within the College which consist of:

The Curriculum Coordinator

The Relevant Key Learning Area Coordinator(s)

Year Coordinator

Any other staff members as required. The functions of this committee are:

The committee is responsible for arbitration of grievances and mediation of the same.

Liaise with the Principal.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Assessment Tasks Must be Students Own Work The purpose of the assessment procedure is to reward students for their individual efforts over the duration of the assessment period. Thus it is essential that the assessment be the student's own individual effort, not that of others including other authors unless it is acknowledged. Therefore, with designated assessment tasks such as home assignments and research tasks, students may be required to sign a statement that the work is, in fact, essentially their own. If, at a subsequent date, the work is found to be not essentially their own, a mark of zero may be recorded for the assignment. Further, students who lend their work for such purposes are jeopardising the marks they have gained and their rank position within that course. All students need to be aware of the penalties associated with Plagiarism.

SUBMISSION OF TASKS At all times it remains the student's responsibility to ensure that all assessment items are attempted and submitted on time. Students are to ensure that all assessment items are handed directly to;

1. their course teacher, or if the teacher is absent, 2. the head of department (KLA Co-ordinator), or, 3. the Curriculum Co-ordinator, or, 4. the Assistant Principal, or, 5. the Principal.

Under no circumstances are students to leave assessment items at the Front Office or on teacher's desks. Do not hand Assessments to your home room teacher. All Assessment Task submissions must have an Assessment Task Coversheet (HSC) attached. (see p.11)

Students must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks that contribute in excess of 50% of available marks in the course. If a student fails to attempt assessment tasks that contribute in excess of 50% of available marks in the course, that course will not be included on the result notice. If a student is then left with less than 10 units, the student may not be eligible for the Higher School Certificate and consequently an ATAR.

ILLNESS - MISADVENTURE PROVISIONS Students may lodge an illness/misadventure appeal if they believe that circumstances occurring immediately before or during an assessment task or assessment task due date, and which were beyond their control, diminished their performance. The right to submit an illness/misadventure appeal and the responsibility for doing so rests with the student, except where it is impossible for the student to do so, such as in cases of severe illness. Illness/misadventure appeals cannot be submitted on the basis of:

Difficulties in preparation or loss of preparation time: for example as a result of an illness during year 12.

Alleged deficiencies in tuition e.g. extended teacher absence.

Loss of study time or facilities prior to the assessment task or assessment task due date.

Long-term illness such as glandular fever – unless you suffer a flare-up or exacerbation of the condition during the assessment task or assessment task due date.


GUIDELINES FOR ILLNESS/MISADVENTURE ASSESSMENT ITEMS A. Misadventure (catch-up) Assessment Items (year 10-12), or estimates will be allowed for funeral attendance,

school approved activities, illness (with a Medical Certificate) and Cases for exceptional circumstances (see point C.).

B. There will NOT be any misadventure (catch-up) Assessment Items for any other reason. Students who are aware they will be absent for Assessment Items may be eligible to complete them prior to their departure or upon return, as long as they have obtained Principals leave Approval and it is agreed to by the relevant KLA Co-ordinator and the Curriculum Co-ordinator. This will be through a “Request for Extension of Time or a Substitute Assessment Task Illness/Misadventure Appeal” form (see page 10).

C. Cases for exceptional circumstances will be reviewed by the Principal upon written application, and if approved, either misadventure Assessment Items, or estimates will be allowed.

An „Assessment Request for Extension of Time/Substitute Task Illness/Misadventure Appeal’ form can be found on page 10 of this booklet or can be obtained by seeing or contacting the Curriculum Co-ordinator. In each case a detailed note must accompany the request. The provision of an explanatory note does not guarantee that the request will be approved. It is recommended that if you are ill you should seek Medical advice and validation of your illness; this will positively support your request. Likewise if you have a Misadventure, supporting evidence from newspaper clippings, Police records, Counsellors or Religious Ministers will again positively support you request. This decision is determined by the Curriculum Co-ordinator in consultation with the relevant KLA Co-ordinator. (see “Reviews and Appeals‟ p.9)

If the illness/misadventure occurs on the day the assessment task is to be performed then the request for extension of time or a substitute task must be made on the first day of returning to school. If the illness/misadventure occurs prior to the task then the request must detail how this has inhibited the student's preparation and the request must be made on the first school day following the illness/misadventure. Under no circumstances are students to assume that a request will be approved automatically. Each request will be determined by the Curriculum Co-ordinator in consultation with the relevant KLA Co-ordinator. (see “Reviews and Appeals‟ p.9)

LATE SUBMISSION OF INTERNAL ASSESSMENT TASKS Students are to be given a due date for each internal assessment item they are required to complete. The assessment item submission must be handed in by 9:10 am on the date due. Late submissions of work will be accepted with penalty for lateness. An Assessment item is deemed to be one day late if it is submitted after 9:10am on its due date. It is therefore deemed to be two days late after 9:10am the following day, and at this point a warning letter must be given.

The schedule of late penalties for an assessment task submission is: * One day late will incur a penalty of 20% of total marks available. * Two days will incur a penalty of 35% of total marks available, and a Warning Letter must be issued. * Three days late will incur a penalty of 50% of total marks available. * Four days late will incur a penalty of 65% of total marks available. * Five days late and thereafter will incur a penalty of 100% of total marks available. All assessment tasks must be submitted regardless of the lateness or penalty. To assist with this calculation, the school has attempted to schedule all Assessment task submissions on a Monday. All written task submissions will be due on a Monday, or the first day of the week in the event of a public holiday or Professional Development Day.

All speech type tasks are deemed to be „in class tasks‟ and therefore not submissions. Speeches are due on the day of delivery or a zero will be awarded. In the case that speech type tasks are scheduled across more than one day, the first day of the task will be the due date for submissions. This is the method of implementation. Eg 1. Assume one day late. Assessment total 100 marks Score awarded 75 marks -20 marks (ie.20 % of the total marks available) Final score 55 marks

Eg 2. Assume two days late. Assessment total 100 marks Score awarded 56 marks -35 marks (ie.35 % of the total marks available) Final score 21 marks


In the event that a student's mark is less than the penalty incurred, the student will be awarded a mark of zero (not a negative mark). For any assessment tasks which are submitted late, or for any „in class assessment task‟ (examinations, speeches, etc.) where a student is absent, an „Assessment Request for Extension of Time/Substitute Task Illness/Misadventure Appeal’ form must be completed and any supporting evidence must be attached or else the assessment task will automatically be penalised.

PARTIAL SUBMISSION OF AN ASSESSMENT TASK Warning letters will be issued if 50% or more of the marks allocated for a given task is either; a) two days late, or; b) is deemed a non-serious attempt.

CHEATING In any instance where a student is shown to have cheated or there is conclusive evidence that the student intended to cheat or there is conclusive evidence that the student inappropriately colluded, then a mark of zero may be recorded for that assessment task. If it is shown that a student has gained an unfair advantage in an assessment task, a zero may be recorded.

EXAMINATION PENALTIES Penalties will apply for students who, during an examination;

Communicate with other students (either verbally, non-verbally or by using technology)

Are found to have been cheating (See cheating policy above).

Disrupt or cause disruption in the examination venue. Penalties Depending on the nature of the incident, penalties will be applied after discussions between any or all of the following have occurred; the exam supervisor, the relevant KLA Coordinator, the Curriculum Coordinator and the Assistant Principal. If the incident is deemed severe enough, then the Principal may also be consulted.

EXTENSION OF TIME The College has made all reasonable attempts to avoid "too many" assessment items occurring at once. This will not be an acceptable reason for a request for extension of time. Generally, requests for extension of time will not be granted unless made at least the day before the task is due, and is supported by the course teacher.

Requests for substitute tasks or an alternative date for in-class assessment items will not be granted unless made a minimum of two school days prior to the assigned date in writing. „Assessment Request for Extension of Time/Substitute Task Illness/Misadventure Appeal’ forms can be found on page 14 of this booklet or can be obtained by seeing or contacting the Curriculum Co-ordinator. All decisions relating to substitute tasks will be made in consultation by the Curriculum Co-ordinator and/or the College Assessment Committee.

THE TERM AND WEEK IN WHICH ASSESSMENT ITEMS ARE DUE The accompanying Assessment Schedule for each course shows the term and week that each task is due. The teacher will give students a minimum of two weeks‟ notice of the exact date of the task. The dates cannot be advised in this Handbook as they need to be set closer to the date to coincide with units of work and/or school calendar requirements. In some rare circumstances Assessment task dates may need to be changed up to and including the date of the task. Students will be notified of the new date and a new minimum of two weeks‟ notice will be given. The KLA Coordinators have attempted to schedule assessment tasks so that no more than three tasks occur each week for any given student.

NON SERIOUS ATTEMPTS Any student who does not make a serious attempt at any task will be awarded their result in that task and maybe asked to submit further work indicating that they have achieved some of the outcomes of that unit. They will be issued with a warning letter for all non-serious attempts.


STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES BEYOND ASSESSMENT TASKS Satisfactory application to "in-class" tasks other than "School Assessment Tasks" is necessary in order to complete the overall requirements of a course, (Refer to Eligibility page 1.). Students are required to have a satisfactory attendance record. They are also required to have a satisfactory conduct record.

INVALID ASSESSMENT TASKS In the event of an Assessment Task being deemed invalid by the relevant KLA Co-ordinator, the Curriculum Co-ordinator and the Principal, it may be necessary for them to either; Reduce the weighting assigned to the task, add an additional task (with sufficient notice) and adjust the weightings accordingly. In extreme cases, an invalid task may need to be discarded completely or a replacement task may be organised.

SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF A COURSE In addition to any other set tasks and experiences in any HSC course, students must complete HSC assessment tasks that contribute in excess of 50 % of available marks.

REVIEWS AND APPEALS Students may appeal to the College for a review of an assessment of their rank position if the College's rank order differs significantly from their expectations. Students may only appeal the school's procedures for arriving at a rank order, not the marks awarded for individual tasks. Students may appeal the outcome of an „Assessment Request for Extension of Time/Substitute Task Illness/Misadventure Appeal’. Student appeals are to be submitted the Curriculum Co-ordinator in writing, where each student appeal will be viewed by the College Assessment Committee. (See „College Assessment Committee‟ p.6). WARNING LETTERS - ‘N’ DETERMINATION

The school‟s Policy endorses the BOS requirements (refer to ‘N’ Determinations page 1.), and advises students that upon receipt of a second warning letter an interview must be arranged with the students‟ parents/guardians, relevant KLA Co-ordinator, class teacher (and the Curriculum Co-ordinator and Principal if required). The student is in serious risk of an „N‟ determination after obtaining 3 (three) warning letters in any single course. EXAMINATION EQUIPMENT FOR ALL INTERNAL EXAMINATIONS • You may only have the equipment listed below on your desk. No other equipment is allowed. • Any equipment brought into the examination room may be subject to inspection before the examination

commences. • It is your responsibility to supply equipment that is in good working order. This includes calculators. • Equipment failure is not a ground for an appeal under misadventure provisions. • When answering questions, you should use black or blue pen only, unless otherwise instructed. Equipment for all examinations You are expected to provide pens, pencils and erasers, and a ruler marked in millimetres and centimetres, for all examinations. You may use a pencil sharpener and/or highlighter pen. This list details specific equipment that you are expected to provide for particular examinations. • A Board-approved calculator • A pair of compasses • A protractor • Set squares • (optional) a curve-drawing template • Coloured pencils and/or coloured felt pens. NOTE: Students cannot borrow any equipment under exam conditions even if their equipment fails. Students are reminded that mobile phones and electronic communication devices are not permitted in an examination room under any circumstances.


ATTENDANCE The school expects students to be present for all scheduled classes and school functions. Students who are absent must provide written support detailing reasons for their absence. Any prolonged absence needs to first be approved by the Principal.

CHANGE OF COURSE Any student wishing to change a course must complete a ‘request for course or level change’ application form located in the front Office. The application will then be assessed by the Course teacher, KLA Coordinator and Curriculum Coordinator. An interview may be requested, to determine the best possible progression for each application/student.

LEAVING HSC EXAMINATIONS AND HSC TRIAL EXAMINATIONS While it is a Board of Studies requirement that students must not leave the examination room until one hour after the start of the examination, and during the last 15 minutes of the examination, it is a policy of St. Paul‟s College that no student is to leave an HSC examination room during the last 30 minutes of the examination during any HSC Examination. It is also a policy of St. Paul‟s College that no student is to leave any HSC Trial Examination room for the complete duration of any HSC Trial Examination.

Academic Excellence Awards for HSC Courses studied with an External Provider ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AWARDS FOR HSC COURSES STUDIED WITH AN EXTERNAL PROVIDER (EG. DISTANCE ED., OTEN, TAFE, RTO.) Students, who have completed courses studied through an External Provider in their HSC year, and wish these courses to be eligible in the calculation of the Academic Achievement Award, are to make written application to the Principal. Attempts will then be made to source the students rank in these courses. There is no guarantee that all course ranks for courses studied through an External Provider will be available to the College. For courses where a rank is unavailable, no Academic Achievement Award points will be awarded. Academic Achievement Award points will be awarded for courses studied through an External Provider only if the student completed the course and was ranked in either first, second or third place in the cohort of that course.
