General Information

1. INTRODUCTION This booklet aims to give students, parents and caregivers information about assessment for the Higher School Certificate course.

Some students are already aware of the career path they wish to follow. Many students have not decided on a career, and changing

job demands will mean they may have to alter their career direction whilst still in training.

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has recognised these problems and is now giving students (age 15-19 years or

more) the opportunity to complete their HSC over a period of up to 5 years.

2. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

NESA has the power to award the credential titled “The Higher School Certificate”. To be eligible for this award, students must

comply with the entry requirements, course restrictions and rules and regulations established by the NESA.

Know the eligibility basics

To be eligible for the HSC, you must:

● have been granted a RoSA of equivalent that NESA considers satisfactory

● attend a NSW government school, an accredited non-government school, TAFE or a NESA-recognised school outside NSW

● complete HSC: All My Own Work (or its equivalent), unless entered in a pattern of study comprising only Life Skills courses for

Year 11 and Year 12

● satisfactorily complete courses in a Year 11 and Year 12 pattern of study required by NESA (detailed below)

● demonstrate a minimum standard of literacy and numeracy

● sit for and make a serious attempt at the required HSC exams.

Certain patterns of study and course requirements apply

You must satisfactorily complete:

● a preliminary pattern of study that includes at least 12 units

● a HSC pattern of study that includes at least 10 units

● Both patterns of study must include at least:

○ 6 units of Board Developed Courses

○ 2 units of a Board Developed Course in English

○ 3 courses of 2 or more units (either Board Developed or Board Endorsed Courses)

○ 4 subjects

Some courses have certain rules and prerequisites, for example:

● you can only enrol in an extension course, if you are enrolled in the corresponding 2-unit course

● you can only enrol in an optional VET exam, if you have enrolled in the corresponding 240 hour course

● you cannot do more than one non-extension course from a subject (eg Mathematics Standard and Mathematics Advanced).

There are also specific eligibility rules for some Languages courses, such as [Language]* Beginners and [Language] in Context, to

ensure your course is at the appropriate level for your experience.

Additional rules apply if you want an ATAR. The ATAR eligibility rules are determined by UAC.

NESA advises students of their ATAR eligibility on behalf of UAC. For example, the HSC pattern of study must include 10 units of

examinable courses including English.

Accumulation of the Higher School Certificate

Students may accumulate HSC courses towards the Higher School Certificate over a period

of up to five years. Preliminary courses may also be accumulated.

The five-year period is counted from the first year you satisfactorily complete a HSC course. It will apply regardless of whether you

defer your studies for one or more years during the five-year period. Accumulation of HSC courses cannot extend beyond a five-year

period.

The 5 year option allows students access to a range of studies and means they can study full time or part time and deal with other

choices, such as sporting careers, travel, and working opportunities.

This opportunity establishes a number of Pathways, each of which offer students access to a more flexible pattern of study that can

result in the award of a HSC.

6

This booklet explains the requirements for the Year 11 Preliminary courses. Each student who sits for the HSC must satisfactorily

complete 12 Units of Preliminary courses.

At the end of this Booklet is a checklist of Preliminary course requirements. You should make sure that you can meet all of these

requirements.

3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

We may approve disability provisions for external assessments if you have a disability that would, in a normal exam situation, prevent

you from:

reading exam questions

communicating responses.

If you would like to apply for disability provisions, speak to your:

Principal

School Learning and Support team member

Year Advisor or

School Counsellor.

Applications for known conditions must be submitted by the end of Term 1.

Emergency arrangements can be made, if you have an illness or injury just before the exam that affects your ability to read or respond

in the exam. If this happens, please tell your Principal or Year Advisor immediately.

We cannot approve disability provisions to compensate you for:

difficulty completing a course or preparing for the exam

lack of familiarity with English

When we have processed your application, we will send a decision letter to your Principal. We will also send you a Students Online

message that a decision has been made. Your school will provide you with this letter. If the school does not give you your decision

letter, contact your school’s disability provisions co-ordinator.

School Assessment Policy

4. INTRODUCTION

The Kingsgrove North High School Higher School Certificate Assessment Policy is designed to standardise procedures between subject

areas and to give students and teachers a clear statement of their rights and responsibilities.

It is the responsibility of the school to communicate the assessment requirements to the students.

It is the responsibility of the students to meet the requirements and to make every effort to resolve problems and/or disputes.

Please read this policy carefully and make sure you understand it. All students must sign to acknowledge that they have received

this booklet.

What is HSC assessment?

Assessment is the process of gathering information and making judgements about student achievement for a variety of purposes. In

the Preliminary and HSC courses those purposes include:

● assisting student learning

● evaluating and improving teaching and learning programs

● providing evidence of satisfactory achievement and completion of a course

● providing information on student learning and progress in a course in relation to the syllabus

outcomes

● reporting on the achievement by each student at the end of a course.

It is a requirement of the Preliminary/HSC school assessment program that for each course the school must establish a program of

assessment tasks. These tasks are conducted throughout the preliminary year (Year 11) and then in Year 12. Each has a weighting

determined by the school with guidelines provided by the NESA.

The preliminary course is completed in terms one, two and three. From term four, Year 11 students will commence Year 12 assessment

tasks in all subjects. The tasks will determine each student’s assessment mark which is a measure of each student’s achievements relative

to the performance of other students in the same course at KNHS.

The Higher School Certificate will show two marks for each course: the exam mark and a HSC moderated assessment mark.

7

Purpose of HSC Assessment

The purpose of school assessment for HSC students is to provide an indication of student achievement based on:

● a wider range of syllabus outcomes than may be measured by a single HSC exam; and

● multiple measures of observations made throughout the HSC, giving students credit for what they have achieved throughout their

courses, in addition to their final exam.

Satisfactory Completion of Preliminary and Higher School Certificate Courses.

Students are considered to have satisfactorily completed a course in the Principal’s view, if there is sufficient evidence that they have

met the following criteria.

They must have:

1. followed the course developed by NESA

2. applied themselves with due diligence and sustained effort to the tasks and experiences provided by the school, and

3. achieved most or all of the course outcomes

Indicators of possible failure for students to apply themselves and fulfil course requirements to the school’s satisfaction include:

● an excessive rate of absences or lateness in a course

● an excessive rate of absences or lateness to school

● failure to submit assessment tasks

● poor achievement caused by lack of application

● failure to complete classwork and/or homework

● proven case of copying, plagiarism or cheating.

If at any stage during the course it appears that a student is not meeting the course outcomes, a NESA pink warning letter will be sent

home. The purpose of this letter is:

● to give students a warning in time to correct the area of concern and/or

● to clarify their current status regarding an unsatisfactory designation.

Where it is determined that a student has not satisfactorily completed a course, that student will not receive any results in that

course.

NESA Website

It is recommended that all students access this Website. Students will be able to access syllabuses, past papers, sample responses and

support material for all their courses.

NESA website: http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/home

5. ASSESSMENT POLICY PROCEDURES – Student Responsibilities

Expectations of Students

Attendance

Students must attend all classes to satisfactorily complete the HSC course. A minimum of 85% attendance is generally expected for

students to achieve the outcomes of the courses being studied.

Diligence

It is expected that students prepare for exams and make a serious attempt. Students must work with sustained effort and due diligence

in all aspects of each course.

Syllabus Requirements

It is expected that students complete the syllabus, including participation in class, practical work, oral presentations, homework,

assignments and exams.

Sustained Application

Students must make a genuine attempt at ALL assessment tasks. Failure to complete less than 50% of assessment tasks will result

immediately in an ‘N’ Determination for that course.

Students who do not comply with assessment requirements will not have a moderated assessment mark or an Exam mark awarded

(ACE Manual NESA website).

http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/home

8

Absence: Notification of Assessment Tasks

A minimum of two (2) weeks’ notice will be given to students of upcoming tasks as published in this handbook. Students who are

absent from class on the day that an Assessment Task Notification is issued must see the teacher to receive the notification.

Procedures for Students when Absent from Tasks

If a student is absent from school during the time an Assessment Task is to be done, the following procedures must be followed:

5.1 The student or a responsible adult MUST contact the school by telephone (9502 3933) or fax (9554 3907) or email (kingsgrovn-

[email protected]) or make a personal representation at the school prior to the time designated for the start or receipt

of the assessment task, and notify the Course Coordinator or Head Teacher responsible for the course of the student’s inability

to be present at that time.

5.2 IMMEDIATELY upon the student’s first return to school, the student MUST present to the Course Co-ordinator or the Head

Teacher responsible for the course documentation supporting the legitimacy of the absence.

5.3 In the case of illness, the documentation should be in the form of a Medical Practitioner’s Certificate which states the exact

nature of the illness and the fact that the illness caused the student to be unfit for the task completion. Medical Certificates

should not be back-dated.

5.4 In the event of unavoidable but necessary delay, appropriate and acceptable documentary evidence justifying the extenuating

circumstances must be supplied (see Rule 5.8 following).

5.5 In the case of immediate illness or misadventure at the time of performing any assessment task, it is the responsibility of the

student to obtain and complete an Illness/ Misadventure Form from the Head Teacher/Deputy Principal. Again, when

necessary, these forms must be accompanied by appropriate and acceptable documentation.

5.6 Medical Certificates will be expected IMMEDIATELY UPON THE STUDENT’S RETURN. Other forms of

documentation would be preferred immediately upon the student’s return, but will be expected as soon as possible and within

what is considered reasonable time. The Medical Certificate must be attached to the Misadventure Form which can be collected

from either the Deputy Principal or Head Teacher.

Completion of the Missed Task

5.7 It is the responsibility of the student immediately upon their first return to school to contact the Course Co-ordinator or Head

Teacher responsible for the task, in order to establish the time and location for the completion of the task requirements.

5.8 The student will complete any task or alternative task on the first appropriate occasion after returning to school. The time and

location for the completion of the task will be determined by the Course Co-ordinator or the Head Teacher responsible for the

task. The student will then be responsible for attending at that time and location in order to complete task requirements.

5.9 The nature, the format or even the need for a replacement or additional task will be the prerogative of the Course Co-ordinator

or the Principal. This could result in the original task being replaced with an estimate, as occurs with students who enter a course

late.

Medical Certificates

Medical Certificates will be expected immediately upon the return of the student and attached to the Illness/Misadventure form. The

medical certificate must:

● Be written on a named Doctor’s pad;

● Include the date of the missed tasks;

● Show the nature of the illness;

● State that the student is “unable to complete the Preliminary/HSC Assessment Task”. It is the student’s responsibility to bring

this to the attention of the medical practitioner, and ● show the length of time the student will be unfit for school.

N Award Warning Letters

NESA warning letters are issued to students and their parents/caregivers if students are in danger of not meeting the Course Completion

Criteria in any course. The NESA requires the school to issue official warning letters in order to give the students the opportunity to

redeem themselves.

A minimum of two course specific warnings must be issued prior to the final “N” (non-completion) determination being made for

the course.

The Illness/Misadventure Process does not cover:

● Students attending other organised functions including sporting competitions does not constitute cause for missing or postponing

an assessment task. If attendance at such events is deemed necessary, it is the responsibility of the student to inform the Course

Co-ordinator before the commencement of the assessment task and to arrange alternative processes in order to fulfil assessment

requirements

mailto:[email protected]

mailto:[email protected]

9

● Students who have an unauthorised absence (no valid explanation, no documents, etc.)

● Misreading the exam timetable and/or misreading of exam instructions.

Submission of Assessment Tasks

● All assessment tasks due on a particular day are to be handed in by 8.45am on the due date. Late tasks will receive ZERO

unless stated otherwise on the task notification.

● For in-class assessments, any student found to be absent from classes on the day when an in-class assessment occurs or arriving

unduly late but in time for the class assessment will also receive ZERO marks.

● Any student deemed to have gained an advantage through any means will be referred to the Course Coordinator/Head Teacher

who will consider what award will be given for the task (this could be zero).

● It is the responsibility of the student after an absence or during an extended absence to determine if any tasks have been notified.

Additional time will not be granted except in extenuating circumstances.

● Assessments are to be handed in using the requested format of the faculty. The assessment checklist is to be submitted with the

assessment.

● Any student who fails to submit or complete an assessment task will have her/his parents/guardians notified by letter. Four copies

of the letter will be kept. Copies will be distributed to the: Subject Head Teacher; Supervising Deputy Principal; the individual

student’s records; the student’s parents/ guardians.

If the Illness/Misadventure Application is Accepted

The Head Teacher of that course will do one of the following:

● arrange for an extension of time for submission

● arrange for completion of the same task at a different time

● arrange for the completion of an alternative task

● arrange for an estimate (if authorised by the Principal).

If the Illness/Misadventure Application is NOT accepted:

The student will be awarded a zero mark and a NESA warning letter will be sent home to advise the parents/carers.

Students may appeal against the Head Teacher’s decision by lodging an appeal form with the Principal within three (3) days of initial

determination.

The principal may do one of the following:

● reject the appeal and order the zero to stand

● grant a limited extension

● order that a substitute task be performed

● award an estimate.

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 you receiving zero marks and will jeopardise

your HSC results.

Malpractice is any activity that allows you to gain an unfair advantage over other students. It includes, but is not limited to:

● copying someone else’s work in part or in whole, and presenting it as your own

● using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet without reference to the source

● building on the ideas of another person without reference to the source

● buying, stealing or borrowing another person’s work and presenting it as your own

● submitting work to which another person, such as a parent, coach or subject expert, has

contributed substantially

● using words, ideas, designs or the workmanship of others in practical and performance tasks without appropriate acknowledgement

● paying someone to write or prepare material

● breaching school examination rules

● using non-approved aids during an assessment task

● contriving false explanations to explain work not handed in by the due date

● assisting another student to engage in malpractice.

10

Rules and Procedures for HSC candidates

Should an assessment task be corrupted through malpractice, the Principal may deem it necessary to organize a substitute assessment

task to ensure equity and fairness.

Malpractice including plagiarism is cheating and a zero mark will be awarded. Cheating will not be tolerated at Kingsgrove North

High School.

Student Behaviour During Assessment Tasks, Including Exams

During Assessment Tasks students must behave in a way that does not distract other students from their work during the Task.

Disruption to the Assessment Task in any way will result in parents/guardians being informed of such attempts by letter.

A zero will be awarded if any of the following behaviours are witnessed during an Assessment Task including exams:

● cheating in any way

● communicating with another student

● bringing notes or electronic devices such as mobile phones into the room or

● making a non-serious attempt.

Teacher Absence when Assessment is Due

If the class teacher is absent on the day an assessment task is due for submission then the student must hand the task to the appropriate

Head Teacher (or her/his representative if she/he or the class teacher is absent) and collect a receipt.

If a teacher is absent on the day for which an assessment task is set, the Head Teacher or her/ his representative will make every endeavour

to ensure the task is given. If this is not possible the task will be postponed until a new date can be determined and set.

Disputes and their Resolution

Disputes regarding assessments should be resolved as soon as possible and must be notified to the Head Teacher within one (1) week of

the assessment result being announced. If necessary, the process for resolution, in order, should be:

● the class teacher concerned

● the Head Teacher of the subject

● the Student Advisor

● the School Assessment Review Panel (for a final decision).

Students may not dispute the type and nature of assessment tasks or the teacher’s professional judgement relating to the allocation of

marks for tasks.

Areas for potential dispute could be:

● failing to notify that a task is assessable

● not including a notified task in the assessment marks.

● Student(s) gaining an unfair advantage as a result of cheating, prior knowledge or unauthorised time extension.

Late Entry into Course – Transfer or Repeats

Students transferring from another school will begin their assessments upon arriving at this school. Any students involved in exchange

programs will also commence their assessment upon their return.

Where a student repeats or transfers from another school during the assessment process, the following procedure will be used to calculate

the student’s assessment mark:

- Total the marks for all tasks completed from the student’s arrival date using the weightings in the Course Assessment Policy.

- Find the new student’s rank from this total.

- Total the marks for the whole assessment program across the Preliminary course excluding the new student. Rank the rest of the

students on this total using the weightings as documented.

- Assign the student a mark based on the rank calculated in the step above.

11

Review of Assessments

Students will be informed of their results for all tasks but must be aware that most tasks are not necessarily marked according to the mark

value shown in the subject assessment summary information. For example, a task with an assessment schedule marks value of “10”

could be marked out of “20” marks. Students should be concerned more with their ranking within the school’s subject group and the

relative difference between their own and other students’ assessments rather than with numerical marks.

It is also possible to have an assessment reviewed if the student believes the school did not follow procedures similar to those indicated

in the published Assessment Program for that subject, or where clerical errors in the determination of the Assessment Mark have occurred.

Any review of an assessment must be resolved within three (3) weeks of the notification of the assessment result.

Reviews will NOT involve consideration of any teacher’s assessment of the value of a student’s work in any of the tasks on which

assessment has been based.

The Review Panel

The composition of the School Assessment Review Panel will be as follows:

• The Principal

• The supervising Deputy Principal

• The Year Advisor

• Two (2) Head Teachers

Five (5) will be available with a minimum of only three (3) to meet and sit on any review.

Fax: 02 9554 3907

Email: [email protected]

OFFICIAL WARNING – Non-completion of a Preliminary Higher School Certificate

Course- Subject

Dear Mr___________________ & Mrs______________________

I am writing to advise you that your son/daughter (student name), is in danger of not meeting the requirements for satisfactory completion of

the Preliminary Higher School Certificate course in (subject name).

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) requires schools to issue students who are in danger of not meeting course requirements

with official warnings in order to give them the opportunity to correct the problem. A minimum of two course-specific warnings must be issued

prior to a final non-completion of course determination being made.

1 official warning(s) have been issued notifying you that (student name) is at risk of not completing the above course.

Criteria for satisfactory completion of a course

For a student to satisfactorily complete a course, NESA requires the principal to have sufficient evidence that the student has:

a) Followed the course developed or endorsed by NESA; and

b) Applied him/herself 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.

Where it is determined that a student has not met the course completion requirements, they place themselves at risk of receiving a determination

of non-completion of course requirements. This will mean that the course will not be listed on the student’s Record of Achievement and may

affect the student’s eligibility for the Higher School Certificate. In Year 12, students must make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks that

contribute in excess of 50% of the available marks. Completion of tasks worthy of exactly 50% is not sufficient; tasks worth in excess of 50%

must be completed.

(student name) is not currently meeting one or more of these requirements.

Action by parent/guardian

To support (student name) in meeting the course requirements, we request that you discuss this matter with him/her, and encourage and support

him/her to carry out the required actions. (student name) is encouraged to attend the Homework Centre (available Thursday afternoon 3.05pm

to 4.30pm) for assistance in redeeming this Official Warning.

Yours sincerely,

ULTIMO RTO 90072 VET COURSE ASSESSMENT SCHEDULES Preliminary 2021 – HSC 2022

Vocational Education and Training (VET) Courses

Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are offered as part of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or Record of School Achievement (RoSA). VET courses are designed to deliver workplace-specific skills and knowledge and cover a

wide range of careers and industries. VET courses for secondary students are developed by NSW Educational Standards Authority (NESA) and are based on national training packages.

VET courses allow students to gain both HSC or RoSA qualifications and a national qualification or a statement of attainment recognised throughout Australia as part of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). These qualifications are

widely recognised by industry, employers and tertiary training providers and universities and will assist students to progress to various education and training sectors and employment.

Public Schools NSW, Ultimo is accredited as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 90072) to deliver and assess VET qualifications to secondary students.

It is mandatory for all students studying a VET course to create a Unique Student Identifier (USI) upon enrolment. Students will require a form of identification for the creation of the USI. Examples include a Medicare Card, Australian Birth

Certificate, Driver’s License or a valid Passport.

Competency-based training is based on performance standards that have been set by industry. Assessment in all VET courses is competency based. The student is assessed on what they can do (the skills) and what they know (the knowledge) that

will equip them in the workplace. Students are either deemed “competent” or “not yet competent” by the teacher. Students who have successfully achieved competency will have the skills and knowledge to complete workplace activities in a

range of different situations and environments, to an industry standard of performance expected in the workplace.

Competency-based assessment materials are designed to ensure each learner has achieved all the outcomes (skills and knowledge) to the level expected in the qualification. Students in VET courses must be able to demonstrate competence

regardless of disability. Students will receive documentation showing any competencies achieved for the VET course undertaken.

If the student has already completed part of the course elsewhere, or have previous life or work experience in the relevant industry, he or she may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for part of the course, or for 35 Hours work

placement in the HSC course. The student does not have to repeat the training or assessment but must produce evidence of competence (which may be demonstrated during a skills and knowledge assessment). The VET committee consisting of

the VET teacher, VET Coordinator and a member of the senior executive will determine if the student is eligible.

If a student has completed a unit of competency with another RTO and the student can supply evidence of the same or an equivalent competency, credit transfer is awarded (common examples include a white card course, first aid certificate or a

barista course).

Board Developed VET courses (also known as Industry Curriculum Frameworks) are classified as Category B subjects and ONLY ONE can contribute to the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). These courses have an

optional HSC examination. Students wishing to include a VET course in the ATAR calculation must sit the HSC examination after they have completed a minimum of 4 Preliminary and/or HSC units.

Board Developed VET courses have specified workplace requirements and include 70 hours of industry specific mandatory work placement or simulated workplace hours as determined by NESA.

Stage 6 Board Endorsed VET Courses count towards the HSC or RoSA but do not have HSC examinations therefore do not count in the calculation of the ATAR. Board Endorsed VET Courses have mandatory or recommended industry specific

work placement.

Due to the specific requirements of a VET course it is recommended students speak to the VET Coordinator or Careers Adviser before choosing the course to ensure they are fully aware of the requirements and the course is suitable for their

individual needs, knowledge and skills.

11. THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EDUCATION ACT 1990 IN RELATION TO THE NEW SOUTH WALES HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

Higher School Certificate - section 95

Higher school Certificates are granted by the NESA to students who:

Have been granted a school certificate, or who have attained such other qualifications as the NESA considers satisfactory; and

Have attended a government school, or registered non-government school too which a current certificate of accreditation applies, or school outside New South Wales recognised

by the NESA, or a TAFE establishment within the meaning of the Technical and Further Education Commission Act 1990; and

Have participated, to the NESA’s satisfaction, in courses of study which have been determined under this Act as appropriate to be undertaken by candidates for the Higher

School Certificate; and

Have been accepted by the NESA as having satisfactorily completed those courses of study; and

Have, to the NESA’s satisfaction, undertaken the requisite examinations or other forms of assessment; and

Have complied with any requirements prescribed by the regulations or any requirements imposed by the Minister or the NESA.

The NESA may refuse to grant a Higher School Certificate to a student whose attendance or application at school has been of unsatisfactory character that the grant of

the certificate would not, in the opinion of the NESA, be justified.

Curriculum for Higher School Certificate candidates – section 12

The curriculum during Year 11 and year 12 for students who are candidates for the Higher School Certificate must meet the following requirements:

Courses of study of a general description determined by the Minister on the recommendation of the NESA are to be provided for each student in each Year,

Those courses of study are to include a course of study in English

Those courses of study are to comply with a pattern of study determined by the Minister on the recommendation of the NESA

Those courses of study are to be taught in accordance with a syllabus developed or endorsed by the NESA and approved by the Minister.

These requirements are articulated in Attachment 2

12. A GLOSSARY OF KEY WORDS Syllabus outcomes, objectives, performance bands and examination questions have key words that state what students

are expected to be able to do. A glossary of key words has been developed to help provide a common language and

consistent meaning in the Higher School Certificate documents.

Using the glossary will help teachers and students understand what is expected in responses to examinations and

assessment tasks.
