Introduction

Students doing HSC courses usually complete their studies in Term 4 of Year 11 and Terms 1, 2 and 3 of Year 12. This booklet gives you information on how you will be assessed. You should read this booklet in conjunction with the more detailed assessment task descriptions that your subject teachers will give to you during the year. You should also read the syllabi of any courses that you are studying for the HSC.

As a senior student, personal organisation is essential to be successful at the Higher School Certificate. The school diary provided to you will assist with this, as it contains information on Time Management, Personal Wellbeing, Research Skills and Study Techniques.

At the beginning of Term 4 each year, the Principal is required to certify to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), that students have satisfactorily completed HSC courses. The Principal makes this determination based on a number of factors, including how well or poorly a student has achieved the outcomes described in the course syllabi.

For each course that you study, your teachers will submit a mark to NESA. The mark will be out of 50 for each 1-unit course, and out of 100 for each 2-unit course. The mark and ranking that you receive makes up your Internal Assessment. The Internal Assessment makes up 50% of your mark in each HSC course. The Internal Assessment, including your mark and rank in the course is not an indicator of your possible HSC performance.

The formal HSC examination that you sit in 2018 provides the External Assessment component of your final HSC mark. The External Assessment component makes up 50% of your mark for each HSC course.

NESA will moderate (adjust) your Internal Assessment mark based on your results in the HSC exams. The process that NESA uses allows them to rank the marks for all students across NSW that have completed a particular course. It is in your best interest to prepare all of your tests, both internal and external, to the best of your ability.

Special Provisions – NESA make available special considerations for students which may have circumstances that impact on their ability to successfully complete assessment procedures. Through an application, which must be supported by appropriate documentation supporting your claim, the school and NESA will consider whether Special Provisions are granted and the nature of the consideration that will be allowed the student e.g. extra time for breaks. See the school Learning and Support Teacher (LaST) (Ms Cassel) for further detail.

This booklet, your course syllabi and the detailed assessment task descriptions that you get before each assessment, will help you prepare your assessments to the best of your ability.

Outcomes, Assessment Components, Weightings and Tasks

The Department of Education (DoE) and the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) have a number of technical terms that you should be aware of. The terms Syllabus, Outcomes, Assessment Components, Weightings and Tasks are technical terms that you should understand.

Each course has a SYLLABUS that sets out the contents of the course. The syllabi are used by teachers to prepare their teaching lessons. It is essential that you have the syllabi of each course that you study. All NSW syllabi are available on the Internet at www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au In the front of each course syllabus are the OUTCOMES that should be achieved by students studying the course. The outcomes describe skills and knowledge that a student should be able to demonstrate once the course has been completed.

Towards the end of each syllabus is a section describing what will be assessed in the course. This section shows what will be assessed, the assessment COMPONENTS, and how much weight will be given to the particular component, the WEIGHTINGS. Weightings are expressed as percentages of the total assessment program.

The syllabus does not give you the details of the actual ASSESSMENT TASKS that you complete during your HSC year. Assessment tasks are developed by your teachers and are used to assess how well students have achieved the course outcomes. Assessment tasks are designed using the outcomes and weightings from the syllabus. The tasks take place as you study the course and assess all outcomes other than those related to attitudes and values. Most subjects have a maximum of 5 tasks. The actual form of the assessment task will vary from subject to subject. You may have tests, projects, presentations or reports to prepare. Before each assessment task, you will receive a notification at least 2 weeks before the task is due this should include a description of the task. The descriptions will vary from subject to subject but you will find such information as what needs to be done, deadlines, format of the test, length of required answers and how the task will be marked. This booklet explains how many ASSESSMENT TASKS you will have for the HSC courses and the mark that each task will contribute to your internal assessment. HSC assessment tasks will:

* help you learn, expand your knowledge and encourage you to challenge yourself * show how much you have learnt and where you need to improve * demonstrate that you have satisfactorily completed a course * contribute to your final HSC mark.

Assessments tasks allow you to show what you know, understand and can do in ways that cannot always be demonstrated in a written examination.

Advice to Students Higher School Certificate assessment tasks such as independent research projects and major works are likely to be the most challenging learning you will undertake during your time at Cumberland High School. There is a very important booklet that you should read called ‘Rules and Procedures for Higher School Certificate Candidates’. NESA publishes this booklet and it is on the NESA (BOS) website. Cumberland High School follows NESA Rules and Procedures and a summary follows.

Assessment Procedures

Assessment Task Notification At least 2 weeks prior to an assessment task, students will be provided with a written assessment notice containing information on the nature of the task and the outcomes to be assessed.

Attendance during assessment tasks

When an assessment task is during class time, students must attend school for all lessons on that day. (i.e.: a student cannot miss lessons to prepare for their assessment task).

For a student who does miss lessons on the day prior to an assessment task, the following will apply:

1. If the student submits an Explanation of Absence from an Assessment Task Form and a satisfactory reason is given (e.g. Doctors Certificate for illness), the Head Teacher will decide whether the actual task will be sat or an alternative task is set.

2. If the student fails to submit an Explanation of Absence from an Assessment Task Form or the supporting documentation to the Head Teacher, a zero mark will be awarded for that task.

When an assessment task takes the form of research or a practical, which is to be completed at home and submitted on or before a set date, it must be submitted to the relevant teacher by 3.10pm on the due date.

Illness or Misadventure Students who are absent from school on the day of an assessment task or the day a hand-in task is due, must complete the Explanation of Absence from an Assessment Task Form (page 12) and supply acceptable documentation (e.g.: Doctors Certificate for illness). This form must be presented to the relevant Head Teacher on the first day back at school. The Head Teacher will decide whether to set an alternative task or in exceptional circumstances to give an estimate. If no satisfactory reason is given, the student will receive a zero mark and an N-award NESA warning letter will be sent home notifying your parent(s) or Carer(s). Appeals Procedures If a student feels there is a problem with the marking or administration of an assessment task, computation of a result or data entry error, he or she should discuss the matter with his or her class teacher and if there are still concerns discuss this with the relevant Faculty Head Teacher. If the issue is not resolved, the student should discuss the issue with the Coordinator of Assessment & Reporting. If the matter still remains unresolved please contact the Principal. The Principal may then form a committee to review the complaint.

A summary of student rights and responsibilities in HSC assessment

Students have the right to:

be informed of the assessment policies of your school and NESA.

receive clear guidelines relating to the requirements of each assessment task including a minimum of a 2 week written notification on all assessment tasks (incl. formal examinations).

be told in advance of the due date for each assessment task with a minimum 2-week notification.

calmly discuss any concerns regarding the marking of the task on return of the task.

Students have the responsibility to:

ensure that all work is their own and avoid behaviour that could be considered malpractice/cheating, including plagiarism.

become familiar with and follow the assessment requirements set by the school.

complete all set tasks on time, or talk to your teacher about what is required if they can't meet a deadline.

follow up any concerns they have with tasks at the time they are marked and returned.


7

Ethical Practice Cheating, or malpractice, is dishonest behaviour by a student that gives them an unfair advantage over others. Most students understand what cheating in an all assessment tasks and examination means, but there are other types of behaviour that are also considered cheating. Here are some examples of behaviour considered to be cheating:

copying, buying, stealing or borrowing 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 acknowledging the source.

producing work that has been memorised and contains a large contribution from another person, such as a parent, coach or subject expert that is not acknowledged.

paying someone to write or prepare material that is associated with a task, such as process diaries, logs and journals.

Cumberland High School and NESA treat cheating in all assessment tasks including written examinations and practical works very seriously. Depending on the circumstances of the case, one or more of the following may apply:

zero marks may be awarded for part or all of the assessment.

you may be required to have an interview with the assessment and reporting panel at school and/or NESA, along with your name being added to the NESA Register for cheating.

you may lose the award of the HSC in one or more courses.

you may damage your ability to apply for entry to TAFE or university courses or scholarships.

It is important to have support from teachers, parents and friends when you are working on your assessments, but you must not let them do your work for you. Remember that

doing your own work is not only about learning, it adds to your overall sense of achievement in completing the HSC.

Students cannot be enrolled or registered on the NESA database unless they have successfully completed HSC: All My Own Work program, that is, you will not eligible for the award of the Preliminary HSC nor the HSC. At Cumberland High School, all students will complete the ‘All My Own Work’ requirement in Year 10, prior to the commencement of the Preliminary Course in Year 11. New students arriving during Year 11, who have not completed All My Own Work, will be required to do so as soon as possible. See the librarian to organise this.


8

All My Own Work?

All My Own Work is a program designed to help HSC students to follow the principles and practices of good scholarship. This includes understanding, valuing and using ethical practices when locating and using information as part of their HSC studies. Students who have completed the program will also know about penalties for cheating and how to avoid malpractice when preparing their work for assessment. The HSC: All My Own Work consists of five modules:

1. Scholarship Principles and Practices 2. Acknowledging Sources 3. Plagiarism 4. Copyright 5. Working with others

How will students be certified for satisfactory completion of the program?

Completion of the All My Own Work program will be certified on the HSC Confirmation of Entry - Principal's Certification form that principals sign and submit in conjunction with the confirmed HSC entries from their school. The criteria for satisfactory completion of HSC: All My Own Work are similar to the criteria for satisfactory completion of a ROSA, Preliminary or HSC course. A student is considered to have satisfactorily completed the HSC: All My Own Work program if, in the principal's view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:

a. systematically addressed the content covered by the program; and b. applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the

program by the school; and c. achieved some or all of the program outcomes.

Further help

If you are not sure about anything you have read here, ask a teacher or your year adviser for help.

The HSC Rules and Procedures booklet is available on the NESA (BOSTES) website.

There are many internet sources of advice on how to avoid plagiarism and manage your studies. For example, university websites often have good general advice on these topics that can also apply to your HSC coursework and projects. Another good source is the HSC Online website run by Charles Sturt University and the Department of Education and Training. This site has special advice and links on study skills and plagiarism as well as an HSC study planner that can be downloaded.

Procedures for students to follow when involved in non-school sport and other activities

Cumberland High School supports students who participate in both school-based and non-school-based sporting and other activities. Generally, school-based sporting or other activities do not impact on the distribution/sitting/handing in of assessment tasks since school routines and calendars accommodate and communicate this information in advance. The following guidelines apply for students who participate in non-school-based sporting or other activities where there is the potential to impact upon the distribution/sitting/handing in of assessment tasks: 1. Student provides teacher with notice of the activity occurring prior to the scheduled assessment. This must

include a letter from the parent/caregiver that lists the date, timing, event and location of the activity. 2. Teacher informs Head Teacher. 3. Depending on the nature of the task, a decision is made to provide an alternative option for the student. 4. Student is informed as soon as convenient of the arrangements.

A GLOSSARY OF KEY WORDS It is important to note that exam questions for the HSC will also continue to use self-explanatory terms such as ‘how’ or ‘why‘ ‘to what extent’. While key words have a purpose, they will not set limits on legitimate subject-based questions in exam papers. Key words and levels of response Along with the mark value and space provided in exam booklets, the key words can help a student to judge how much an answer needs to cover. The table below provides a general guide to the kind of response required by each of the key words. The table is not intended to be prescriptive, and you will notice that some key words appear in more than one row.

The left hand column in the table is a grouping of the knowledge, skills and understanding typically found in Stage 6 syllabuses. The key words from the glossary are grouped in the right hand column alongside the groupings of knowledge, skills and understanding. The terms in the right-hand column such as ‘describe’, ‘identify’ and ‘outline’ are typically used in questions requiring recall of knowledge. Questions using these terms generally require less depth and are worth fewer marks than questions using terms such as ‘assess’, ‘evaluate’ and ‘justify’ which call for higher-order thinking. The latter generally require an answer of greater depth and usually attract higher marks. Other terms such as ‘explain’ and ‘discuss’ can vary considerably in the mark value and depth of response

Depending on the achievement of units of competency, the possible qualification outcome is a Certificate II in Hospitality SIT20316 or a Statement of Attainment towards Certificate II in Hospitality SIT20316.

Schools may schedule exam items in preparation for the HSC. These do not form

part of the RTO assessment requirements.

The assessment components in this course are competency based. This means that students need to demonstrate that they have gained and can apply the specific knowledge and skills of each unit of competency. Competency assessment is graded as “not yet competent” or “competent’. In some cases other descriptive words may be used leading up to “competent”. A course mark is not allocated.
