At Picton High School, we value:

A safe and healthy school that fosters mutually respectful partnerships with the community.
Message from the Year 9 Deputy
Dear Students, Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Year 9 at Picton High School. Year 9 marks the beginning of Stage 5 studies and your journey toward the ROSA (Record of Student Achievement).
Students are required to complete mandatory hours and subject specific assessment requirements in order to achieve a ROSA at the satisfactory completion of Year 10. This also includes Sport, which is compulsory and undertaken every Wednesday. Students have had the opportunity to select two electives which will be completed over two years.
Please check the Picton High School website & download our app to keep updated. Assessment tasks are uploaded to the website under ‘school years’ approximately two weeks before they are due. The tasks are left on the site until the end of the school year.
As students travel through their high school years the work often becomes more challenging. If your child is experiencing any difficulty in completing their assessment work, contact either your child’s Classroom Teacher, the Head Teacher of the faculty, Year Advisor or Deputy Principal as early as possible as we are here to support your child achieve to their full potential.
Yours in Education,
Mrs Vella

Junior Assessment Policy Rationale:
Picton High School ensures that all assessment items meets Stages 4 & 5 NSW Education Standards
Authority (NESA) requirements and Department of Education requirements.
Aims:
Every student will be made fully aware of the KLA, school, NESA and Department of Education
requirements for all formal assessment tasks.
Implementation:
All students will be given a minimum of 2 weeks written notification of an assessment task.
Every student is expected to submit or sit for all assessment tasks by the due date. Assessment tasks
must be handed in by 3.20pm of the due date including electronic submissions.
Students in Years 7, 8 and 9 who do not submit tasks by the due date will lose 10% of the total marks
every day the task is late. It will be marked on a sliding scale:
1st day late: 10% maximum mark of 90.
2nd day late: 20% maximum mark of 80
3rd day late: 30% maximum mark of 70 4th day late: 40% maximum mark of 60
5th day late: 50% maximum mark of 50; then 0.
Acceptable reasons for the late submission or absence from an assessment task include illness, accident
or other unforseen circumstances. In each case the incident must be supported by appropriate
documentation, such as a doctor’s certificate. Technological failure is not considered an acceptable
reason for late submission of a task. The Head Teacher of the KLA will determine if the reason is
acceptable.
If a student requires an extension on an assessment task, the application for an extension must be in
writing and submitted to the Head Teacher at least one week before the due date of the assessment.
When a student fails to complete an assessment task due to a valid reason then the student will be given
an amended due date for that task. In some instances, an alternate task may be provided.
If a student fails to complete any assessment task then an official warning letter will be sent to the
parent/guardian indicating that the syllabus outcomes have not be achieved and the task has been
awarded a zero mark.
Work submitted in an assessment task must be only that of the student. If a student uses the work of
another person or directly copies from published texts or an internet site to complete a task they will
receive a zero mark. If the work used was that of another student from this school, who knowingly
supplied the information, then that student may also receive a zero mark as well.
For all in-class tests, students must leave their bags at the front of the room. Mobile phones must be
switched off and out of sight.
If students have concerns regarding the assessment procedures followed for an assessment task then
they have the right to appeal the process. An assessment task appeal form will need to be completed and
submitted to the Head Teacher of the relevant KLA.
Evaluation:
This policy will be reviewed as part of the school’s three year evaluation cycle
