Killarney Heights High School is committed to enhancing and encouraging students’ achievement of
learning outcomes. The Killarney Heights High School Assessment Policy is designed to ensure
consistency in assessment throughout the school. Our aim is to ensure that all of our students
progressively develop their skills and knowledge in a collaborative and supportive environment.
Assessment at Killarney Heights High School encourages progressive developmZent of skills and knowledge while ensuring:
consistency across subjects and courses
fairness in marking and reporting
coordination of the assessment program to ease the load on students.
Assessment Tasks are designed to measure performance against course outcomes through a range
of Assessment Tasks and in a wider range of objectives than may be tested in an examination.
Assessment Tasks may include:
tests which may take a written, practical and oral form
class essays, research tasks, assignments, portfolios, log books
practical tasks and major works
fieldwork and projects
Teachers must be satisfied that the work presented is the student’s own, particularly in tasks that
require work to be done at home, and that any help that you have received has been acknowledged
(referenced). Malpractice (including copying someone else’s work or breaching school examination
rules) is taken very seriously at Killarney Heights High School.
To have satisfactorily completed a course, students will have:
● satisfactorily completed the Board of Studies teaching and Educational Standards requirements
for all courses studied
● have a satisfactory record of attendance
● applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences
provided in the course by the school; and
● achieved some or all of the course outcomes.
Students must follow the instructions of their teacher for each subject regarding completion and submission of all assignments.
Students must ensure that their Assessment Tasks are submitted on the due date. Any requests for an extension to the due date, will be assessed by the relevant Head Teacher on a discretionary basis.
In all cases, where a student does not submit or attend an Assessment Task, they must complete an
Illness/Misadventure form. Failure to follow these procedures will result in a mark of zero being
awarded.
If the student is absent for all or part of the due date
If the student is absent the day prior to the due date
If the student does not hand in or attend an assessment task on the due date

PATTERN OF STUDY REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST FOR THE 2018 HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE 2019 Requirements are yet to be distributed for the new curriculum. Use these a guidelines
Do students who will complete the Higher School Certificate in 2018 meet the following pattern of study requirements?
At least 12 units of Preliminary courses and 10 units of HSC courses. [Ref: Assessment Certification Examination (ACE), ACE 8005]
At least 2 units of a Board Developed Course in English (or 2 units of the Content Endorsed Course English Studies) at both Preliminary and HSC level.
At least 4 subjects – at both Preliminary and HSC level.
At least 6 units of Board Developed Courses – at both Preliminary and HSC level.
At least 3 courses of 2 unit value or greater (Board Developed and/or Board Endorsed Courses) – at both Preliminary and HSC level.
A maximum of 6 Preliminary units and 6 HSC units from courses in Science. [Ref: ACE 8006]
In the Preliminary study pattern, Senior Science has not been studied in combination with Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science or Physics.
In the HSC study pattern, Senior Science can be studied in combination with Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science or Physics. Students undertaking Senior Science in the HSC study pattern must have satisfactorily completed the Preliminary course in at least one Science course. [Ref: ACE 8006, 8011]
General Mathematics can be studied with no other Mathematics Course. [Ref: ACE 8011]
Met eligibility requirements for the English (ESL) course [Ref: ACE 8007]
Met eligibility requirements for Continuers courses in languages where there are Heritage and Background Speakers courses; for Beginners courses in languages and for Heritage courses in languages. Relevant documentation has been completed and retained at the school. [Ref: ACE 8002]
All students undertaking Preliminary or HSC courses in 2018 are required to complete the HSC: All My Own Work program (or equivalent) prior to the school’s submission of students’ 2016 Preliminary and HSC course entries. This includes students who are entered for Stage 6 Board Endorsed Courses or Board Developed VET courses.
Exception: Completion of the HSC: All My Own Work program (or equivalent) is optional for students undertaking only Stage 6 Life Skills courses. Schools are encouraged to devise an appropriate equivalent of the HSC: All My Own Work program for students with special education needs as necessary.
Board Endorsed Courses have current endorsement
Students are not enrolled in any Board Developed Course, Content Endorsed Course, TAFE delivered VET HSC Course or Board Endorsed Course combinations which are subject to Board exclusions [For exclusions please see ACE 7001, 8010, 8011, 8012 8018 PLUS also check your school BEC decision letters or check for BEC decisions via Schools Online.] VET course exclusions are available on the NESA website under Vocational Education.
REMINDERS
Students seeking an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) in 2018 must complete at least 10 units of Board Developed Courses for which there are formal examinations conducted by the Board, including (a) at least 2 units of English, and (b) at least 8 units of Category A courses (only two units of Category B Courses can contribute to an ATAR). Courses completed must include at least three Board Developed Courses of 2 units or greater and at least four subjects. The list of Category A courses is published on the UAC website.
NB: Board Endorsed Courses and Content Endorsed Courses, including VET Board Endorsed Courses, the Content Endorsed Course, English Studies, and the new non-examinable Mathematics General 1 course do not satisfy requirements for the ATAR.
Schools should note that additional departmental curriculum requirements (e.g. sport, religious education, 25 hours of PD/H/PE etc) or conditions of enrolment at individual schools are not requirements for NESA HSC Certificate credentialing.
Schools will need to ensure that NESA requirements are met in cases of accumulation, acceleration, repeating, recognition of prior learning and in any cases of non-completion of course requirements [please refer to the ACE website: Satisfactory completion, Pathways and Credit transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning for details].
Students with disability can meet the requirements for the award of the Higher School Certificate by undertaking a combination of Board Developed Courses, Board Endorsed Courses and/or Stage 6 Life Skills Courses. Principals will be required to certify on the Preliminary and HSC entry forms that enrolment of a student in any Life Skills Courses for Stage 6 is the result of a planning process that addresses the student’s transition from school to adult life [please refer to the ACE website: Studying HSC Life Skills courses].
Consideration must be given to the need for reasonable adjustments for students with disability to enable equitable participation in the full range of education activities. Actively identifying and responding to the learning and support needs of students is an ongoing school process and should not be reliant on parents or students requesting support. Information about HSC Disability provisions including the application process is available on the NESA website.
Schools are responsible for overseeing the delivery of VET courses by external providers.

Stage 5 and 6 Assessment Tasks are a compulsory and necessary component of the RoSA and Higher School
Certificate. Absence from an assessable task could be an indication of a student’s non-serious attempt, placing at risk
the award of the RoSA and /or the Higher School Certificate.
It is the responsibility of a student, who for various reasons, fails to submit an assessable task, to make proper
application for consideration under the published rules of the Assessment Procedures.

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education
Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) is an integrated area of study that
provides for the intellectual, social, emotional, physical and spiritual development of students. It involves
students learning about and practising ways of maintaining active, healthy lifestyles and improving their
health status. It is also concerned with social and scientific understandings about movement, which lead
to enhanced movement potential and appreciation of movement in their lives.
As students are confronted by particular PDHPE issues, they are challenged to examine them in socially
imaginative ways and respond in terms of individual plans, lifestyle decisions and clarification of values.
The study of PDHPE also supports students as they develop into young adults. The syllabus encourages
personal growth, the enhancement of wellbeing and the development of the individual’s capacity to take
a productive role in society.
Students will study option 1 – first aid and option 3 – fitness choices.
