A. A message from the Year Adviser Welcome back! The four terms of the HSC course will flash by. It will be an intensive time of work and enjoyment of the remaining time you have with your friends and teachers. The HSC Exam although a formidable task ahead, is just a milestone as you move from being a student to the next part of your life. Stay focused and plan how you use your time so that you stay in control of your workload and meet assessment deadlines. All work must be completed on time for assessment tasks to count. Your teachers are keen to support and help you. It is important to communicate early with your teachers if you have any problems with your work or completing tasks on time. If you experience stress or personal problems that interfere with your ability to feel in control of life and study, please speak to me or a teacher before you fall behind. Although everyone wants to succeed at the HSC, it is important to remember that there are many other pathways to higher education and training. Work hard and do your best but don’t think of the HSC as the only way to access your future goals if you don’t do as well as expected. Two useful sites that can provide you with very good information related to your courses and the exam are www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au and www.hsc.csu.edu.au . I am looking forward to this last year with you Year 12, stay positive and enjoy the great moments and days that occur along the way. Troy Sodeau Year 12 Adviser
B. Pathways of study in Year 12 At Coffs Harbour High School, pathways of study in Year 12 fit into one of the following categories, depending upon the student’s academic ability, career aspirations, interests and skills.
1. HSC course/ ATAR pathway means that students are studying at least 10 units of Board Developed Courses and they are eligible to apply for an ATAR and attend University. They may include one VET course in these 10 units.
2. HSC course/ NON ATAR pathway means that students are studying at least 10 units which may be a combination of Board Developed and Board Endorsed Courses. They are not eligible to apply for an ATAR or attend University straight from school, and are more likely to have career aspirations which include TAFE or on the job training. (Students are reminded that there are other pathways to university for mature aged students, should they change their mind in a few years time).
3. Year 12 Certificate of Attainment means that students are studying courses which are mostly Board Endorsed and may include substantial time at TAFE, such as the Fast Track TVET course. (Formerly known as SPY). These students are generally keen to exit to employment once they turn 17 years.

C. Assessment requirements in Year 12 – HSC ATAR and HSC NON ATAR students Assessment consists of a series of tasks which measure a student’s achievement in a particular course. The purpose of HSC assessment is to compare the achievement of all students within a course and rank them accordingly, showing relative differences.
In addition to the formal exam, a variety of formal assessment tasks are used in each course. These tasks may be completed in the classroom or assigned as homework or study activities, for example written, practical, oral, aural tests, assignments, essays, projects, field work, oral presentations, research, design and creation of major works, demonstrations, rehearsed and impromptu performances. The final Higher School Certificate Examination is included for courses which are externally assessed and contribute to ATAR.
The final assessment total is sent to the Board of Studies (BOS) in Term 3 of Year 12. The BOS will moderate this school mark using the HSC exam marks obtained by all students in each course at Coffs Harbour High School. The rank order within each course will not change, but the mark given by the school will be altered by this process. This moderated assessment mark will appear on the HSC along with the HSC examination mark for each course. These marks will be allocated within one of 6 performance bands with band 6 being the highest.
The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) calculated by the universities is based on the raw exam mark and the moderated assessment mark where you have selected a combination of courses which will make you eligible for an ATAR.
D. Vocational Education – dual accreditation
Students who have elected to study a VET (Vocational Education and Training) course will be assessed on their ability to achieve competency standards over a continuous, two‐year course of study (as opposed to other courses which separate preliminary (Year 11) and HSC (year 12) requirements).
Students have the opportunity to gain Industry Accreditation by achieving the required competency standards: AND Higher School Certificate Accreditation by sitting for the Higher School Certificate Examination in the Vocational Education course.

E. The school’s responsibilities in relation to assessment
1. At the commencement of each course each faculty is required to provide students with a list of all assessment tasks to be completed through the course and the value (weighting) of each task. The list will indicate the time that the task is due. These details are found in this book.
2. Students must be notified of the specific date and time when each assessment task will fall due at least 10 school days prior to the date of the task.
3. Students will be provided with clear instructions on the basis on which their performance will be judged. This advice is called a “RUBRIC” and will be issued, in writing, with each task.
4. The same or equivalent tasks will be undertaken by all students in a course, regardless
of which class they are in. Marking procedures will include consultation between teachers and double marking where appropriate.
5. A student’s attitude, interest or conduct are not considered when marking an assessment task. However, it is obvious that effort, interest and attitude will affect a student’s ability to achieve and may also affect the achievement of other students.
6. Award zero marks (0%), if a student fails to submit an assessment task when it is due, and no misadventure form is received or accepted.
7. Award zero marks (0%), to assessment task submitted late (after the stipulated time on the notified due date), but record that completion of the task will be accredited towards satisfying mandatory HSC course requirements.
8. Award zero marks (0%), to an assessment task where a student has been found guilty of malpractice (eg cheating in an exam, copying the work of others).
9. No assessments are allowed after the Trial HSC examination. This is to allow students
time to consolidate learning and apply themselves to intensive study programs in preparation for the HSC examination.
COFFS HARBOUR HIGH SCHOOL HSC Assessment Policy & Schedule Booklet 2010‐11

F. Student responsibilities in relation to assessment
1. You are expected to complete all assessment tasks by the due date and time.
2. Use the calendar pages in the book to track all of your assessment tasks.
3. Some assessment tasks involve attendance at excursions, field studies etc. Attendance is compulsory. Where financial hardship is a factor the Head Teacher Welfare should be approached for assistance.
4. It is your responsibility to ensure that you make backup copies of computer disks and other media. Failure of technology is not a valid reason for failing to submit a task on time.
5. All work submitted for assessment must be your own work. Any breach of this rule will result in a mark of zero.
6. It is your responsibility to be aware of assessment task dates for all of your courses and to organise your schedule accordingly.
7. Students must attend all timetabled classes and will not be granted leave of absence to study for other assessment tasks in these times.
8. Students who are absent on the day when the class is notified of an assessment task are
responsible for obtaining details from their teachers immediately on their return to school. They will be expected to complete the task on time.
9. If you know in advance that you are going to miss an assessment task, either hand in the assessment task before the absence or negotiate alternative arrangements with your teacher and/or the Head Teacher of the faculty. Documentation explaining the absence (as outlined above) will be required
10. If you are sick on the day when an assessment item is due you must arrange to get the task to the teacher by the deadline set for the task. Inform the school on the day of the task – phone, fax or e‐mail the school and leave a message for your teacher or Head Teacher of the relevant faculty
11. Where you feel there is a valid reason, such as serious illness, for missing a task or being unable to submit a task, you must complete a Misadventure form and report to the relevant teacher or Head Teacher immediately upon your return to school with supporting documentation, such as a medical certificate, to discuss your case.
12. If your Misadventure form is accepted, the choice of completing the original task, completing an alternative task or receiving an estimate for the task rests with the Head Teacher of the relevant faculty.
13. Assessment tasks may be submitted to the course teacher in person, by courier, by postal mail or by e‐mail to the school address. The assessment task must be submitted at the stipulated time. Where no time is stipulated it cannot be submitted after 3.30 pm on the day it is due.

G. Satisfactory completion of courses Students are reminded that in order to complete their HSC satisfactorily they must achieve some or all of the course outcomes in at least ten units of study in Year 12. A student will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the Principal’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:
1. Followed the course developed or endorsed by the NSW Board of Studies; 2. Applied him/her self with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences
provided in the course by the school; 3. Achieved some or all of the course outcomes; 4. Sat for and made genuine attempts to complete all examinations; 5. Completed formal assessment tasks worth in excess of 50% of the total available marks,
within the timeframe determined by Coffs Harbour High School’s HSC Formal Assessment Schedule;
6. Maintained a satisfactory record of attendance.
H. Unsatisfactory completion of courses A student will be considered unsatisfactory in a course if they fail to apply themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences required by the school to achieve some or all of the course outcomes. Indicators of concern include:
1. An excessive number of absences or lateness to school, particularly if these are unexplained.
2. An excessive rate of absences from or lateness to classes in one or more courses, particularly if these are unexplained.
3. Poor achievement in class tests, assignments etc caused by lack of application.
4. Poor classroom behaviour which inhibits your own and others’ learning.
5. Failure to submit assessment tasks.
6. Failure to submit assessment tasks on time on the due date.
7. Failure to complete class work and homework.
8. Proven case of copying, plagiarism or cheating.

I. Warning Letters to students
If at any stage during the course it appears that a student will not achieve a sufficient number of outcomes, a Warning Letter will be sent. The purpose of these letters is:
1. To give students a warning in time for them to correct the problem 2. To clarify their current status regarding an unsatisfactory designation
If a student receives Warning Letter 1, Warning Letter 2 and Warning Letter 3 for the same subject, the Head Teacher of the subject will refer the student to the Deputy Principal/Principal. An interview with the parents and student will be held and if satisfactory progress towards fulfilling the requirements is not demonstrated, the Principal is obliged to issue an “N” award. The student is entitled to appeal to the Board of Studies about the “N” award. If the “N” award issued by the school is upheld by the Board of Studies, the student will not be given HSC accreditation in that particular course. This would necessitate studying these units again the following year to complete the correct number of units. The HSC would be awarded when 10 units are completed.
J. Appealing an assessment mark If a student is unhappy with an assessment mark, they have the right of appeal, following the process outlined below.
1. See your classroom teacher within two school days of receiving your mark and explain the reason for your unhappiness. Attempt to negotiate a solution.
2. If you are still unhappy after the interview, see the Head Teacher of the faculty immediately. If necessary the Head Teacher may refer the problem to the Principal and Deputy Principal of Year 12.
3. Students may appeal against an assessment mark within five (5) working days of notification to the Principal.
4. Where a student’s performance is deemed unsatisfactory and an N‐Award in a particular course is recommended, the student has the right of appeal initially to the Principal and, subsequently, to the NSW Board of Studies.
5. Where a student’s position at Coffs Harbour High School is declared invalid due to Non‐
Serious Attempt, the student has the right of appeal through the School Education Director.

HOSPITALITY
Students who study Hospitality gain credit towards the NSW HSC and credit towards national vocational qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework.
All students who study Hospitality will be studying the Hospitality Operations (240 indicative hours) Course. If students are competent in all units of work and complete the 70 hours of work placements they will qualify for Certificate II in Hospitality (Operations). The competencies will be recorded in a Student Log.
Definition of Competency‐Based Assessment
Competency based assessment is largely activity based and practical. It is the process of collecting evidence and making judgements on student progress towards satisfying the performance criteria set out in a standard, or learning outcome. Competence implies that an individual displays an understanding of the knowledge that underpins the practical performance of the task. At an appropriate point a judgement is made as to whether competency has been achieved.
Satisfactory Completion of Competencies
Students are assessed according to whether or not they have achieved the learning outcomes specified in the modules they have undertaken. This form of assessment judges performance against a prescribed standard, not against other students. Students are assessed as having achieved or not yet having achieved a particular competence. It is up to the teacher’s professional judgement to make certain that all aspects of the assessment process are valid, reliable, fair and flexible. The teacher will do this by:
Gathering evidence about a student’s performance. This is ideally completed by direct observation in the workplace or by simulation of the workplace. Evidence is also gathered by traditional assessment tools such as written tests and assignments.
Identifying performance criteria that can be used to judge whether a student is performing to the required standard.
Measuring that evidence against the performance criteria.
Students will be assessed by – a. Practical situations b. Practical exams c. Written work d. On the job training e. Assignments f. Verbal/discussion g. Case studies h. Role play i. Short answers j. Examinations k. Portfolio l. Work journal Students can nominate to undertake the optional exam unit during the HSC year.
