MGHS STAGE 6 ASSESSMENT POLICY
The HSC course and associated assessments commence in Term 4 (2016) and concludes at the end of Term
3 (2017). Students must read this document carefully and be aware of the timing and nature of all their
assessment tasks.
This document and associated documents are available on the school website http://www.maitgross-
h.schools.nsw.edu.au/Curriculum and Activities Assessment and Reporting. A copy of the Assessment
Policy will be emailed to each student’s Department of Education email address. All forms are in PDF
format.
Students are advised to print off all relevant assessment schedules and/ or save them into a folder for
future reference. Students should then create a personal calendar of assessment dates and develop a study
timetable to help organise and manage time to enable the completion of tasks on time to best ability
standards.
1. STAFF & STUDENT REPONSIBILITY
Staff responsibilities:
• Demonstrate an understanding of course content, objectives and outcomes

study comprising at least 12 units and an HSC pattern of study comprising at least 10 units. Both patterns
must include:
• at least six units of Board Developed Courses- at Preliminary and HSC level
• at least two units of a Board Developed Course in English*
• at least three courses of two-unit value or greater (either Board Developed or Board Endorsed
Courses)- at Preliminary and HSC level
• at least four subjects- at Preliminary and HSC level
* Satisfactory completion of English Studies fulfils English requirements for the HSC. The course will count
towards the 6 units of Board Developed Courses required for the award of the HSC.
Students must meet eligibility requirements if studying:
• English (ESL) course
• Continuers course in language
• Beginners course in language
• Heritage course in language
All Preliminary and HSC:

Board Endorsed Courses and Content Endorsed Courses, including Vocational Content Endorsed Courses
and the English Studies Content Endorsed Course do not satisfy requirements for an ATAR.
Administrative Requirements
Students are required to confirm their pattern of study and sign the NESA Confirmation of Entry form.
3. ASSESSMENT TASKS
Task Weight
An individual task should not normally be worth less than 10%, nor more than 40%, of the total assessment
marks. One task may address several course outcomes. In general, later tasks should carry more weight
than earlier tasks.
Tasks
• The syllabus provides guidance in relation to the types of tasks that are suitable. The assessment tasks
used should be appropriate to the outcomes and component of the course being assessed. For
example, tasks could include assignments, fieldwork studies and reports, model making, oral reports,
5
research projects, practical tests and open-ended investigations, viva voce, improvisations,
arrangements, original compositions, portfolios, and presentations of performance.
• The assessment tasks should allow for a range of marks to allow for discrimination between the
performances of individual students and be set at an appropriate level of difficulty that allows the full
range of marks to be available.
• Head Teachers are required to validate each task prior to distribution to students.
• All assessment tasks for a course should be completed by each candidate.
• Tasks should be personally or electronically submitted in the timetabled period for that subject, on or
before the due date unless otherwise stated on the task notification.
• The students will sign the Assessment Task Register Sheet to acknowledge the receipt, submission and
return of a task.
• Teachers should assess the students’ actual performance, not potential performance. Assessment
marks must not be modified to take into account the possible effects of illness or domestic situations.
Students who indicate they are sick on the day of an assessment task should contact the subject Head
Teacher to discuss whether the student should sit the task and to discuss the required documentation for
non-completion.
(See PROCEDURES FOR LATE SUBMISSION AND NON-COMPLETION OF TASKS)
4. ASSESSMENT NOTIFICATION
• At least two weeks’ notice of the details of a task should be given and, in addition to the Assessment
Schedule and Scope and Sequence in this handbook, each task should notify students of the precise
date, outcomes assessed, weighting for components and marking guidelines (where appropriate).
• Students are to sign that they have received the assessment task notification.
• If a student is absent on the day that a notification for an assessment task is given to students, the
teacher will give student their notification the next day that they are present. Note, unless there are
exceptional circumstances, an extension of time for the task will not be granted.
5. ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE
General Guidelines:
• Assessment in the Preliminary course should not begin before Week 5 of Term 1 for that cohort.
• Assessment for the HSC course may commence in Term 4 of the year prior to the HSC examination in
that course.
Trial HSC Examination:
• All courses will have a Trial HSC Examination (except English Extension 2 and some CEC and BEC
courses);
• The Trial HSC should form a significant part of assessment;
• Examination papers should mirror the HSC as far as possible in skills, content, duration and difficulty
Students:
• are required to wear school uniform.
• are not permitted to leave the examination earlier than the finish time.
• need only attend school during the time of their scheduled examinations.
If a student is absent from the Trial HSC they are required to:
• Contact the school on the day of the examination.
• Catch-up the task within the scheduled examination period.
6
Submission of Assessment Tasks:
• All hand in assessment tasks must be submitted as directed on the assessment notification. For
electronically submitted tasks, students have a responsibility to ensure:
• the correct electronic file is attached.
• the file is not corrupt.
Note that technology fault is not grounds for appeal.
• HSC assessment takes precedence over all school and external activities, including excursions, work
placement for VET, work experience, competitions, sporting events and family holidays. However,
accommodations may be made where appropriate and alternate arrangements may be made with the
Faculty Head Teacher prior to tasks, to arrange early or alternate submission.
• Change of dates for assessment tasks must be informed to students in writing and students must sign
to acknowledge the change. Changes must be altered on the School Calendar and website.
6. PROCEDURES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF TASKS
For separate classes completing the same course, Head Teachers are required to ensure that:
• students receive the same information to ensure consistency in the administration of the
assessment task.
• where possible, the task should be completed on the same day/period to protect the integrity of
the task.
• all students have the same examination conditions and experiences.
Preliminary and HSC English speeches will be held over on the same day(s) to ensure fairness and the
consistent implementation of the task.
During an assessment task, students must turn off their mobile phone and place it in their school bag
or receptacle provided by the teacher. Students who breach this rule may have a penalty imposed, such
as a zero for the task.
7. PROCEDURES FOR AWARDING MARKS
The HSC requires that a standard referenced approach be used for assessing and reporting student
achievement. Assessment tasks allow measurements of student performance in relation to course
outcomes, including those not readily measured by an examination. This serves to provide several types
of measurements over a period of time. In a standards-referenced approach, the assessment mark
submitted to the Board of Studies will reflect the rank order and relative difference between the
achievements of students, based on the extent to which students have demonstrated the achievement
of the outcomes.
Marks
Marks are calculated on the basis of the mandatory assessment components and weightings found in the
syllabus for each course. Marks will be aggregated to the nearest whole number and ranked accordingly.
Assessment marks should show the relative differences between students’ performances. This is best
achieved when a sufficiently wide mark range is used in allocating the marks for the individual tasks.
It is stressed that the final assessment mark should not be revealed to the students, but students must
be informed that they can receive their final assessment rank. This will be provided as the assessment
rank on their semester two report.
7
8. PROCEDURES FOR LATE SUBMISSION AND NON-COMPLETION OF TASKS
Tasks handed in late, or completed late, will receive a zero. A student has the right to appeal the zero
mark by completing an ILLNESS/ MISADVENTURE APPEAL FORM.
Where the teacher of the class is absent on the due date
• Where a teacher is absent on the day for an in-class task, the Faculty Head Teacher or senior teacher
will arrange alternative cover and/ or collection of the task.
Where a student is absent on the due date
• Where a student is absent on the day an assessment task is due either for medical reasons or any
other reason, a zero must be given initially and the student has the right to appeal via the
submission of an Illness/Misadventure Form with the relevant documentation.
• When a student is absent on the day when a written task is to be handed in task or an in-class
assessment performed, and the absence is known beforehand, the student must make
arrangements for the task to be submitted, or completed, on or before time.
• Where a student is absent on the day of a hand-in task because of illness/misadventure, the
student must arrange for the task to be handed in on time by an agent OR the task must be
submitted electronically by 9.30 am.
• Where the student has been absent on the day the assessment task was due and the task was not
handed in by arrangement due to misadventure, the student must hand in the task to their teacher
on their first day of attendance. Relevant evidence (e.g. doctor’s certificate, statutory declaration,
other) covering all days of absence, together with an Assessment Illness/Misadventure Appeal form
must be supplied within five school days.
• Where a student is absent on the day of an in-class assessment, it is the responsibility of the student
to see their teacher/ Head Teacher of the relevant course on the first day of attendance after
illness and to make alternative arrangements for completion of the assessment task. The student
must be prepared to sit the task first day back at school. Relevant evidence (eg. current doctor’s
certificate, statutory declaration, other) covering all days of absence must be submitted within five
school days.
• Failure to follow the above procedures will result in an N Award Warning letter being sent to
parents/caregivers of the student and a mark of zero.
• Under no circumstances does a suspension from school entitle a student to submit an assessment
after the due date. If a student is on suspension from school at the time when an assessment item is
due, it remains the student’s responsibility to ensure the task is submitted on the due date. It is the
student’s responsibility to notify the Principal at the time of suspension that an assessment task is to
be completed in class over the period of suspension. Where appropriate, the student may be asked
to complete the task on return from suspension.
9. PROCEDURES FOR ILLNESS-MISADVENTURE
What Is Illness and Misadventure?
NESA will only consider awarding special consideration in cases of illness and misadventure. These are
defined as:
• Illness: Any sickness or injury that prevents a student from attending school.
• Misadventure: Any unforeseen circumstance or incident that prevents a student from attending school.
An Illness-Misadventure Form is used when an assessment task is:
• Not submitted on time.
• Submitted incomplete.
8
• During extra-ordinary circumstances.
Where a student experiences a misadventure, she/he should obtain an Illness-Misadventure Appeal
Form from the front office (also available on the MGHS website, within this booklet, from a deputy or
in faculties). This must be done on the same day where possible or the next day of attendance
including attendance at the next examination after the misadventure.
STUDENTS CANNOT SUBMIT AN APPEAL ON THE BASIS OF: ➢ difficulties in preparation or loss of preparation time / technology fault
➢ alleged deficiencies in teaching
➢ long-term illness such as glandular fever unless they are suffering a flare-up of the
condition during the examination or assessment period
➢ misreading the examination timetable
➢ misreading assessment task or examination instructions
➢ other commitments such as holidays, participation in entertainment, work or sporting
events, or attendance at examinations conducted by other institutions or
organisations. Special consideration for changes to the scheduled date must be made
in writing, addressed to the Principal and well in advance of the event.
➢ illness once the assessment paper is opened during the reading time, or after the
examination commences.
See page for information about completing the Illness/Misadventure Appeal Form.
10. MALPRACTICE
Malpractice is any activity undertaken by a student that allows them to gain an unfair advantage over
others. It includes, but is not limited to:
• copying someone else’s work in part or in whole, and presenting it as their 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 their 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 aides during an assessment task
• contriving false explanations to explain work not handed in by the due date
• assisting another student to engage in malpractice.
Where cheating is detected a mark of zero will be given for the task to each student involved. It is
NESA requirements that the students name be added to a Malpractice Register.
Where a student is present on the day of the task and truants in periods prior to undertaking the task,
penalties may apply.
A student penalised for cheating has access to the appeals process.
9
11. INVALIDITY OF ASSESSMENT TASKS
Where invalid or unreliable results have been produced by an assessment task the faculty Head Teacher
should be notified. This may be where a task does not function as required, or where there are problems
in the administration.
The Head Teacher will ascertain the reasons for the unreliable or invalid results and implement one or
more of the following processes as appropriate:
• negotiation with all students affected.
• implement an alternate task supplied for the whole or part of the original.
• mark adjustment to discount the invalid part of the test.
• other, as determined by the Head Teacher.
An investigation will be undertaken by the Deputy Principal and Head Teacher of the Faculty involved.
12. MAINTAINING RECORDS
Procedures for providing assessment marks for students who transfer into the school after the
commencement of the HSC course.
For students who transfer into the school before 30 June in the year of the Higher School
Certificate examination, MGHS will request the former school forward information regarding:
- assessment marks, task weightings and rank
- N-Awards
The marks provided can be used as the basis of estimates for task that have been missed. Tasks
attempted after enrolment can also be used to assist this estimate.
For students who transfer into the school after 30 June in the year of the Higher School Certificate
examination, the previous school is to provide assessment marks.
In the case of VET courses for the Higher School Certificate, students who have achieved units of
competency through study or experience are not required to be reassessed for recognition of those
units of competency. However, a qualified assessor from an RTO must have assessed such
competencies.
13. FEEDBACK
• Teachers provide feedback to students to assist their learning. The effectiveness of feedback
to students on their performance on assessment tasks can result in significantly improvement
in the standards-based system used for the HSC.
• Feedback on tasks should be meaningful and provide students with an indication of their
performance relative to the outcomes being assessed and their general progress. The wording of
outcomes and the band descriptions can be used, where appropriate, for providing feedback to
students.
• Teachers are encouraged to make available work samples to students as a standards reference.
Appropriate marking guidelines are devised prior to applying the task and certified by the Head
Teacher.
• For each assessment task students should receive clear feedback on their performance. This
should include what they are able to do and what they need to do in order to improve their
performance.
This advice should indicate:
10
- Students’ attainments in the task relative to the outcomes
- Students’ relative positions within the course group.
• Students should sign the Assessment Task Register Sheet to acknowledge that feedback, rank &
progressive rank are received.
• In the case of VET courses, the assessment of competencies is on the basis of performance against
the performance criteria set out under each element of competency. A participant is judged either
competent or not yet competent. This judgement is made on the basis of a range of evidence,
which may be in a variety of forms.
14. PROCEDURES FOR N-WARNING AND DETERMINATION
• If the Principal determines that a student is in danger of not completing a course satisfactorily, the
student will be warned in writing in time for him/her to correct the problem and satisfactorily
complete the course.
• A minimum of two warning letters for each course is required for N-Determination.
• The Principal will use the following as a guide for N-Determination:
1. 50% Rule: In addition to any other set tasks and experiences in any course, students must complete
assessment tasks that contribute in excess of 50% of available marks.
2. Set Tasks and Experiences: Principals must determine if there is sufficient evidence to progress
with an N determination for a student’s application of diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks
and experiences provided in the course by the school.
• If a decision is made to progress with an N-Determination:
- The Principal or delegate will notify the parent/carer that in the school’s view, their student has not
met the completion requirements for the award of the Preliminary HSC or HSC
- Offer an Appeal form (if required) and review the appeal.
- Form an Appeals panel (if required)
i. If the appeal is upheld, award the marks for the course.
ii. If the Appeal is declined, forward all documentation to the Board of Studies for determination.
• If an ‘N’ determination is given:
- the course will be listed as ‘Not Completed’ on the Record of Secondary Achievement.
- the student may be ineligible for the award of a Preliminary HSC or HSC.
15. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
The Learning and Support Team is responsible for the identification and management of students
requiring special provisions. A submission for all known cases is made to the Board of Studies.
Students who accessed special provisions in Year 10 should be screened for similar access for
senior assessment and examination.
The Learning and Support Teacher will develop a list of students requiring special provisions.
Additional students may be added during the year.
Special provisions should apply to those assessment tasks affected by the student’s specific
provisions, only when approved by the Board of Studies or by emergency arrangement with the
Principal.
11
16. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING COURSES
Assessment requirements for Vocational Education and Training courses
Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are competency based. The purpose of assessment in
this context is to judge competence on the basis of performance. A student’s performance is judged as
being either competent or not yet competent against a prescribed standard. The judgement is made on
the basis of evidence which can be in a variety of forms.
NESA requires providers of VET curriculum framework courses to:
• ensure that all courses are delivered under the auspices of a Registered Training Organisation
(RTO).
• use a competency-based approach to assessment.
• maintain a record of all of the competencies achieved by each student.
• progressively record the achievement of elements of competency and units of competency in a
competency record book (student log) supplied by the RTO
• use only qualified assessors to carry out assessment.
• report to the Board via Schools Online both the units of competency each student intends to
study in a year and the units of competency actually achieved by each student in each course.
• verify that students have completed the mandatory work placement hours that have been
assigned to each course.
• prepare students enrolled in 240-hour courses for the optional HSC examination, if the students
elect to present for the examination.
Schools are not required to submit school-based assessment marks for these courses. They are, however,
required to provide an estimated examination mark for all students entered for any of the optional VET
curriculum framework examinations. This mark should be an estimate of likely performance in the HSC
examination and should reflect each student’s achievement on a task or tasks similar in nature to the
HSC examination, such as a trial HSC examination. It must be submitted at the same time as the school
assessment marks for other HSC courses, but will be used only in the case of a successful
illness/misadventure appeal.
17. PRACTICAL AND SUBMITTED WORKS
• Students are required to be provided with written notice of:
- relevant guidelines for the project work so the work falls within the Board of Studies and HSC
guidelines for size, weight and duration.
- examination dates for practical, submitted works and performances.
• Teachers should ensure that students understand what malpractice is, and how it relates to their
projects. This includes students understanding the requirements regarding outside assistance,
and that outside assistance is acknowledged in the project documentation.
• Teachers must certify that the work is the students’ own original work and that any material drawn
from other sources or any outside assistance is acknowledged
• Students must sign to acknowledge the receipt of NESA guidelines.

writing, addressed to the Principal and well in advance of the event. The Principals decision is
final.
15
EXPLAINING THE ILLNESS/ MISADVENTURE FORM
Tasks handed in late, or completed late, will receive a zero. A student has the right to appeal the
zero mark by completing an ILLNESS/ MISADVENTURE APPEAL FORM.
PROCEDURES FOR ILLNESS-MISADVENTURE
• An illness-misadventure form is used when an assessment task is
- Not submitted on time
- Submitted incomplete
- During extra-ordinary circumstances
• Where a student experiences an illness/ misadventure, she/he should obtain an Illness-
Misadventure Appeal form from the Deputy Principal, front office, MGHS website, this
assessment booklet or faculty staffroom. This must be done on the same day where possible or
the next day of attendance including attendance at the next examination after the
misadventure.
Completing the Illness/Misadventure appeal
PART A: This section is to be completed by the student. Reasons for the Illness- Misadventure
appeal must be documented in this section. Relevant documentation (e.g. doctor’s certificate,
statutory declaration, other) must be attached. This section is signed by the student and
parent/carer.
• It is the student’s responsibility to complete the Illness-Misadventure Appeal and return it to
the class teacher within five school days of the due date of the task. Late appeals may be
considered but only in the event of exceptional circumstances.
PART B & C: The Class Teacher and Head Teacher make recommendations.
PART D: The appeal is then completed by the Deputy Principal (within policy guidelines), who
may:
i. uphold the appeal (marks may be awarded)
ii. dismiss the appeal (mark of zero is maintained)
iii. impose a penalty (marks are adjusted)
• The result will be communicated to the student by the class teacher.
• If the Deputy Principal dismisses the appeal, the student has the option of requesting an
Appeals Committee review.
PART E: The Appeals Committee shall be convened by the Deputy Principal, and include the
Head Teacher of another faculty and the Year Adviser. This committee will make a
recommendation.
The committee may:
i. uphold the appeal (marks may be awarded)
ii. dismiss the appeal (mark of zero is maintained)
