INFORMATION FOR SENIOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS/CAREGIVERS

The following material is provided for the information of senior students at Junee High School and their

parents/caregivers regarding HSC Assessment. It is not definitive and reference should be made to school policy

documents for further details.

The information is provided in a question/answer format to highlight the areas and issues about which students and

their parents/caregivers should be aware.

1. What is meant by assessment?

Assessment is the measurement of actual student performance in various tasks. It is not a measure of their

potential performance or an estimate of their general ability.

2. What must I do to have satisfactorily studied a course?

The Board of Studies expects students to have:

(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 school1;

(c) achieved some or all of the course outcomes; and/or

(d) completed all assessment tasks. However, if you fail to seriously attempt assessment tasks worth 50%

or more of the final assessment mark, you will be awarded a zero for that course.

Where a candidate has failed to satisfactorily study a course, the Principal will:

(a) apply a ‘N’ (Non-completion) determination and advise the Board of Studies accordingly. Courses

which were not satisfactorily completed will not be printed on HSC or Result Notices. This may result

in a student being ineligible for the award of a Higher School Certificate.

(b) advise the candidate of the submission and the right of appeal.

3. What happens if I feel I cannot submit an assessment task on time and have a valid reason?

If you feel you have a valid reason for the late submission of an assessment task, then you must approach your

teacher, where possible at least two (2) full school days prior to the due date, giving your reasons in writing.

Your parent or caregiver must sign this note. A time extension may be granted in legitimate cases.

4. What happens if I fail to attempt or submit a task on time without a valid reason?

You will be awarded a zero for that task.

5. What happens if I fail to attempt or submit a task?

If you have a valid reason for a non-attempt, then you will be given the same or a substitute task at a later

date. Where this is not feasible, an estimate may be given after discussion with the Principal or Head Teacher.

If the explanation is not accepted you will be awarded zero for that task.

6. What are valid reasons?

It is up to students to demonstrate that they had a valid reason for the non-attempt or non-submission of an

assessment task. The legitimacy of the reason given will initially be determined by the Head Teacher in

consultation with the class teacher on the basis of fairness to all students in the group.

7. What if I am absent when an assessment task is notified?

It is your responsibility to ask your teacher about any assessment tasks which may have been notified in your

absence. This needs to be done during the first day of your return to school after an absence. It is your

responsibility to refer to the schedule provided.

8. What happens if I know I am going to be absent for an assessment task?

You should notify your teachers at your earliest convenience in writing, where possible. Giving your reasons in

writing must be done at least two (2) full school days prior to the due date. Your parent or caregiver must

sign this note. A time extension may be granted in legitimate cases.

1 This clause will apply to any students who continually hand in class work late, truant or who are absent without justification, as

determined by the NSW Department of Education and Communities.

9. What happens if I am unable to sit for an examination?

If you are going to be absent from an examination (Midcourse or Trial HSC Examinations) you must notify your

class teacher, the Head Teacher of that subject and the Year 11/12 Student Adviser, to make arrangements to

sit for the examination(s) at a later date. You will not be able to sit for the examinations before the due date.

If you are ill, it is necessary to contact the school immediately. A Doctor’s Certificate may be required to cover

an absence from an examination. You must complete the ‘Student Appeal Form’ as soon as you return to

school after your absence. This form is available from Head Teachers and the Deputy Principal.

If you are ill prior to or during the HSC examination period you must obtain a Doctor’s Certificate and contact

the school to obtain a BOS ‘Illness and Misadventure’ Appeal Form.

10. Will my parents or caregiver be informed of any non-attempt?

Yes they will. Any such communication, including official warnings given to you, will be maintained as records.

11. Will my general behaviour throughout the year be taken into account for assessment purposes?

Yes, if it affects your studies or the studies of other students. Your behaviour would affect your ability to meet

the Board requirement that “students apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort.”

12. Are there specific behaviours which will affect my assessment?

Yes, any of the following actions will incur a zero mark for any assessment task:

(a) cheating during an assessment task;

(b) copying from another student and claiming that work as your own;

(c) presenting an assignment which is clearly not your own work, which includes work completed by

another individual on your behalf;

(d) allowing other students to copy your work;

(e) copying material with no due acknowledgement;

(f) disrupting2 an assessment task; and/or

(g) truancy or absence from an assessment task without providing a satisfactory explanation.

13. What if I don’t make a serious attempt at an assessment task?

A non-serious attempt will lead to a student being awarded a zero for that task. Non-serious attempts may

result from the attempt being so poor as to be considered non-serious or as a result of the use of derogatory

remarks, obscene language, insufficient evidence of the student’s own work, etc. The Head Teacher, in

consultation with the teacher involved, will determine if the attempt is non-serious.

14. Can I leave an examination or set assessment task prior to the time set for its completion?

No, except with the supervisor’s permission in legitimate emergencies.

15. Am I entitled to a review of my final assessment?

Yes, the school has review procedures to examine legitimate cases. You should first approach the relevant

Head Teacher. If that is not satisfactory then you should see the Deputy Principal. If the matter is still not

resolved then a panel comprising the Principal, a Deputy Principal, the relevant Head Teacher and the Year

Adviser will examine the matter and come to a final decision. This procedure applies to all courses including

Frameworks courses.

16. When may I lodge an appeal against a final HSC assessment?

You have three (3) days from the time you are notified of your final assessment rank in which to lodge a

formal, written appeal, using the ‘Student Appeal Form’. No appeals will be considered after this date. A

’Student Appeal Form’ is available from Head Teachers and the Deputy Principal.

17. Am I entitled to a re-assessment of an individual assessment task?

Yes, if the mark and rank is not what the student expected, then the student may approach his/her teacher for

a re-assessment within two [2] full school days after results have been received.

If illness has affected your performance during the task, you must inform your class teacher (and, in the case

of examinations, the supervising teacher) immediately. A medical certificate may be required.

2 Dependent on the nature of the disruption, only one warning may be given.

Junee High School

Page 5

If the teacher, in consultation with the Head Teacher, feels there is just cause for re-assessment, then it may

take place. The results of any such re-assessment are final and will not be considered just cause for the re-

assessment of other students.

If you need to appeal a Head Teacher’s decision refer to the answer to Question 16.

18. Will I be warned if my certificate is at risk?

Yes, you will be warned in writing. Your parents or caregiver will be advised and you will be required to

provide a written acknowledgement of the warning.

19. How much warning will I get for each assessment task?

A minimum of two (2) weeks’ notification should be provided prior to any assessment task being given. This

document may be regarded by a teacher of any course as sufficient notice of the due dates and the nature of

upcoming assessment tasks. You should also refer to the answer to question 7. The published dates in this

book should not be altered by a teacher without your being given sufficient notice of the change. A change of

date for a task may be allowed after reference has been made to the overall Assessment Schedule Summary

(p. 7), the School Calendar and consultation with the relevant Head Teacher.

20. What happens if a teacher/faculty wishes to vary the assessment requirements given to you?

This is allowable, as occasionally a task may need to be rescheduled or reset. However, the new date must be

negotiated with the students in that course before it is changed.

21. What feedback will I be given on my performance?

For each task you will be told your assessment and your ranking in that task. You will be informed of your

progressive ranking through the school reports.

22. How do I submit assessment tasks?

It is the responsibility of students to submit work for assessment during normal class time directly to the

teacher or at the time specified by the class teacher. Students and teachers should ensure that receipt of task

is noted.

23. Where can I check the schedule of assessment tasks and/or seek advice?

This booklet sets out the schedule of assessment tasks for all subjects and the relevant features of the school’s

policy for Higher School Certificate Assessment. You should retain it and refer to it if any questions or

problems arise. Teachers, Head Teachers, the School Counsellor, the Deputy Principals and the Principal

should all be able to provide additional advice. A copy of this document is able to be accessed on the school’s

intranet.

24. How does my assessment result affect my final course mark?

The assessment mark is moderated against the student’s performance in the HSC examination. The moderated

assessment mark and examination mark are given equal weight in the determination of the student’s HSC

course mark, which is then used to calculate the ATAR.

Assessment tasks in VET courses are used to determine your achievement of competencies. There is no

correlation between the achievement of competencies in VET courses and the ATAR. The HSC VET examination

marks are recorded on your HSC and may be used to calculate your ATAR.

Assessment tasks in VET courses are used to determine your achievement of competencies. There is no

correlation between the achievement of competencies in VET courses and the ATAR. The HSC VET examination

marks are recorded on your HSC and may be used to calculate your ATAR.
