The assessment procedures used by Woolooware High School follow the NSW Board of Studies policy
statements and guidelines.
Assessment of the student’s satisfactory progress in the Preliminary and Higher School Certificate
courses are carried out by school-based procedures as outlined in this document. Such assessments are
weighted to components and tasks specified by the Board of Studies in syllabus documents. The types of
assessment tasks vary from course to course and within the one course can take many forms e.g. essays,
tests, research assignments. Individual task marks may be standardised before combining.
The policy and procedures seek to maintain fair and equitable assessment processes by:
Clearly communicating the policy to students and other members of the school community.
Presenting an assessment schedule for every course.
Identifying, specifying, scheduling and assigning a value, to every assessment task throughout each
course.
Providing students with a clear guide to the assessment tasks and procedures in each course.
Establishing appropriate procedures for recording and reporting students’ performances in
assessment tasks.
Providing clear information on variations from standard practice and assessment review procedures.
1. Students are expected to attempt all assessment tasks specified, and sit for all tests scheduled, as
part of the assessment program in all courses in which they are enrolled.
2. Where a student fails to satisfactorily attempt assessment tasks worth more than fifty percent of the
final assessment mark, the student will automatically be given a “Non-Completion Warning” in that
course.
3. In order to give adequate notice to students of tasks, approximate dates and general schedules of
tasks are provided in this booklet.
4. Additionally, classroom teachers will provide students with a minimum of two weeks’ notice in
writing for each specific assessment task. This notice will include information on the outcomes of
the syllabus to be assessed, the value and nature of the particular task, and the specific weightings
which will apply to the various outcomes
5. Students will also be notified in advance of the dates for formal examinations which may count
towards course assessment.
6. Should it become necessary to vary tasks from published dates, students will be given notification
in writing as soon as the variation is known.
7. Teachers will give clear instructions as to specifically when an assessment task which has been
completed outside the classroom is due (i.e. time, place, date and to whom it is to be delivered).
8. For oral tasks, students are to submit a written copy of the task to be delivered orally on the date the
task is due. This may be before they actually have to deliver the task.
9. Students are to be notified of their rank order in each task.
10. Head teachers will keep a register of assessment tasks.
Page 4
\HSC AssessGuide 2017.doc
1. There is a large volume of work in all senior courses and it is not possible to assess all the outcomes of
each syllabus in the relatively few assessment tasks set. It is therefore strongly advised that all students
approach all classwork and homework designed to address those syllabus outcomes with the same
diligence and sustained effort with which they approach designated assessment tasks.
2. It is the student’s responsibility to:
▪ be aware of this assessment policy and the information provided by each faculty with which the student studies.
▪ present work on time
▪ not plagiarise work from any source
▪ be aware of the penalties for late submission and non-submission of assessment tasks.
▪ present evidence to substantiate claims where unavoidable lateness or absence has occurred. (See Non-Completion of Assessment Tasks).
It is the responsibility of each student to read all examination timetables correctly and follow all instructions
relating to procedures in examinations. No allowance will be made for students who fail to present for
examinations due to misreading of a timetable or fail to comply with instructions due to misreading of a paper.
1. The Board of Studies will be notified when students satisfactorily complete a course. This course will then be recorded on the student’s academic transcript.
2. To demonstrate satisfactory application in a course, students must:
regularly attend classes. A “rule of thumb” mark for attendance is eighty-five percent;
show due diligence and a sustained effort to studies and demonstrate progress in meeting the outcomes of the course.
3. Where a student has been unable to demonstrate the minimum required outcomes for a Preliminary or Higher School Certificate course, a Non-Completion of Course determination may be made in that course provided that the student has been given at least three formal warnings and these warnings have been given in time for the student to rectify the identified shortcomings.
4. Where a student has been given a Non-Completion of Course determination in a Preliminary course, the student will not be able to proceed to the equivalent HSC course; and that course will not contribute to the award of the Preliminary Certificate.
5. Where a student has been given a Non-Completion of Course determination in a HSC course, that course will not contribute to either the award of the Higher School Certificate or the award of an ATAR.
6. In such cases, the student shall be entitled to appeal under Board of Studies policy and procedures.
The school submits your final assessment marks to the Board of Studies calculated from your cumulative results
from the formal assessment tasks you undertake in Year 12.
If the final school assessment ranking assigned by the school differs significantly from your expectation, based
on the information provided to you during the course, you may seek a review of your ranking in that course.
A review will NOT involve a reconsideration of any teacher’s assessment of the value of a student’s work in any
of the tasks on which the ranking is based.
Students transferring from another school will begin their assessments upon arriving at this school. Where a
student transfers from another school during the assessment process, the following procedure will be used to
calculate the student’s assessment: 1. The marks for all students for all tasks completed by the student will be totalled using the weightings in the
course assessment schedule. 2. The new student’s rank will be established from this process. 3. Marks for the whole assessment program, excluding the new student, will be totalled. The rest of the
students will be ranked on this total, using the weightings specified. 4. The new student will be assigned a mark based on the rank calculated in step two.

\HSC AssessGuide 2017.doc
1. Should a student be absent on the day of an assessment task, or the day when an assessment task is
due, the student must contact the school to inform the relevant teacher.
2. If an absence was due to illness, the student must submit a medical certificate with a completed
misadventure form (copy in the back of this booklet). These must be given to the relevant head
teacher on the day the student returns to school. Medical certificates cannot be backdated.
3. If a student is to be absent on the day of an assessment task, they or their parent or guardian must
ring the school and inform the appropriate head teacher.
On the first day of return to school the student must see the appropriate head teacher and complete
a Misadventure Form (copy in back of this booklet) and attach any supporting evidence. If the
supporting evidence is a doctor’s certificate it must clearly state that in the opinion of the doctor the
student is incapable of completing or sitting the task on medical grounds. This then must be given to
the appropriate head teacher who will make a decision on the application for misadventure. Failure
to complete this process will incur the same penalties as for late submission of a task.
4. The head teacher will determine whether the reason is sufficiently strong as to allow for
consideration to be given. If the head teacher determines that it is the task will be awarded a mark or
the student will be awarded an estimate or set an alternate task. If the head teacher determines that
the reason isn’t sufficient the student will be awarded zero for the task.
5. Students awarded zero in these circumstances can appeal to the principal in writing within one day of
being informed of the head teacher’s determination.
6. Students who have an unauthorised absence will receive a non-attempt (NA) for the task. For the
purpose of this policy, holidays are classed as an unauthorised absence.
7. Any student found to be staying at home during school time on the day of a task, will be considered
to be seeking to gain an unfair advantage and may have that task/test cancelled. A student who
truants from a class while at school for the same purpose will be considered in the same manner.
8. Preparing for an assessment task in another class is not allowed.
If you are presenting work produced via computer it is your responsibility to make sure you have adequate
backups of information. Technology failure is not an acceptable excuse for failing to submit tasks on the due
date.
1. Malpractice occurs when a student breaks the rules of an examination or assessment task by
plagiarising or copying another student’s work; by allowing his/her work to be copied by another
student; by undertaking improper communication during a task either personally or by electronic
means; by making unauthorised use of materials; and interfering with the performance and/or
concentration of other students.
2. Cases of malpractice will be referred to the relevant head teacher.
3. Where an accusation of malpractice can be proven to the principal’s satisfaction, a mark of zero will
be awarded to the student for the task.
4. All proven incidents of malpractice must be entered on the BOSTES Website Malpractice Register.
Page 6
\HSC AssessGuide 2017.doc
1. Students may only appeal against their results in an assessment task:
a. if the student believes that the marker of the task was wrong in fact in marking an answer; or
b. if a student believes that the task set was flawed or invalid; or
c. when the procedures set down in this document have not been followed.
2. Students may not appeal against a mark awarded by a teacher or against a ranking awarded by a
teacher in any other circumstances.
3. Where a student wishes to appeal a task, the appeal must be made in writing and handed to the
principal within twenty-four hours of the task being returned.
4. An appeal against results or marks (individual or accrued) for tasks undertaken throughout a course,
which is submitted at or near the end of the course, will generally not be considered.
5. The appeal shall be decided by the principal on the recommendation of a staff panel consisting of one
deputy principal, a head teacher other than the head teacher of the course involved and one other staff
member.
6. If, following the panel’s recommendation, the principal upholds the appeal; the principal will direct a
course of action to rectify the circumstances which led to the appeal. The principal’s decision is final.

SUBJECT: continued…
The Unit content is correct at time of publication but is subject to change by the Board of Studies
and/or ASQA.
The courses within the Hospitality Curriculum Framework are competency-based courses. In a
competency-based course, assessment of competencies is standards referenced. This means that a
participant’s performance is judged against a prescribed standard contained in each unit of
competency, not against the performance of other participants.
The purpose of assessment is to judge competence on the basis of performance against the
performance criteria set out under each element of competency. A participant is judged either
‘competent’ or ‘not yet competent’. This judgement is made on the basis of a range of evidence,
which may be in a variety of forms.
Competency-based assessment is based on the requirements of the workplace. Competence
incorporates all aspects of work performance, including problem-solving and the capacity to apply
knowledge and skills in both familiar and new situations. Assessment of competence involves the
assessment of skills and knowledge combined.
Work placement is a mandatory HSC requirement within this Framework and appropriate
hours have been assigned to each course.
Students must complete the following work placement for Hospitality Curriculum Framework
courses:
(240 indicative hours) – a minimum of 70 hours in a workplace.
Learning in the workplace will enable students to:
progress towards the achievement of industry competencies
develop appropriate attitudes towards work
learn a range of behaviours appropriate to the industry
practise and apply skills acquired in the classroom or workshop
develop additional skills and knowledge, including the employability skills
Non-completion of work placement is grounds for withholding the course. Schools are advised to
follow the issuing of ‘N’ determinations as outlined in the Board of Studies Assessment,
Certification and Examinations (ACE) Manual.
For the purposes of school reporting only, students will attain a grade using the following criteria:
Yearly report marks are based on theory examinations.
ASQA Assessment (Certificate II) – based on completion of all required units of competencies.

A. Industry study B. Design and management
C. Workplace communication D. Industry-specific content and production
The course outcomes together with the first three sections above (A, B and C) are common to each industry
focus area.
It is essential that the content and the focus area outcomes be considered collectively when programming for
the course in order to ascertain the depth and breadth of treatment of each topic.
The content in the Preliminary course and the HSC course within each focus area is to be differentiated in
terms of depth of study and its application to the individual student projects. In the Preliminary study, the
content is introductory and is related to a number of Preliminary projects and the study of an individual
business in the focus area. The HSC content is a more detailed study, which is relevant to the student’s major
project and their study of the overall industry in the focus area. Students in the HSC course are expected to
select and apply a more in-depth understanding of the topics.
