MEETING HSC ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Pattern of Study To be eligible for the HSC, students must:

• satisfactorily complete Years 9 and 10 or gain other qualifications that satisfy NESA • attend a government school, an accredited non-government school, a NSW Education Standards Authority

recognised school outside NSW, or a TAFE college • complete HSC: All My Own Work (or its equivalent) before you submit any work for Preliminary or HSC

courses, unless you are only entered for Year 11 and Year 12 Life Skills courses • satisfactorily complete courses in the patterns of study detailed below • sit for and make a serious attempt at the required HSC exams.

Certain patterns of study and course requirements apply

You must satisfactorily complete:

• a Preliminary pattern of study that includes at least 12 units • a HSC pattern of study that includes at least 10 units. • Both patterns of study must include at least:

• 6 units of Board Developed Courses • 2 units of a Board Developed Course in English, or English Studies • 3 courses of 2 or more units (either Board Developed or Board Endorsed Courses) • 4 subjects.

Specific Rules

There are also specific eligibility rules for some Languages courses, such as Beginners and Heritage, to ensure your course is at the appropriate level for your experience.

Enrolling in a course that you are not eligible for could put your HSC at risk, so carefully check your eligibility for all courses you are entered for.

From 2018 students will continue to be able to study six units of Science in Year 11 and for the 2019 HSC exam students can study up to seven units of Science in Year 12. This change allows for the study of Science Extension - a new one unit Year 12 course which will be examined for the first time as part of the 2019 HSC.

Students may study one of, or any combination of, the following Stage 6 Science courses:

• Biology • Chemistry • Earth and Environmental Science • Investigating Science • Physics • Science Extension (Year 12 only)

The above Stage 6 Science courses including the Investigating Science course may provide entry into the new Science Extension (Year 12) course, which has been developed to engage high-achieving students and better prepare them for university and careers in STEM.

Commencing in 2018 students may study up to six units of Science Life Skills courses in Year 11 and Year 12.


http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/11-12/hsc/hsc-all-my-own-work

NESA has developed two new Stage 6 Board Developed courses, English Studies and Mathematics Standard 1, to be implemented with Year 11 from 2018.

Both courses are classified as Category B for the 2019 HSC onwards.

Those students who take English Studies in the 2019 HSC and want to receive an ATAR will need to remember that only 2 units of Category B courses can be included, and at least 2 units of English must be included, in the ATAR calculation. Therefore English Studies students who want an ATAR will not be able to include any other Category B units and will need at least 8 units of Category A courses.

Students must attend and seriously attempt all Preliminary and HSC exams they are entered for.

Types of HSC courses

Board Developed courses are the large number of courses set and examined by Education Standards that also contribute to the calculation of the ATAR.

Board Endorsed courses are developed by schools, TAFE and universities. They count towards your HSC but do not have an HSC examination and do not contribute towards the calculation of your ATAR.

Special education (Life Skills) - If you have special education needs you can attain your HSC by studying Life Skills courses. There are specific entry requirements for the Life Skills courses and you still need to meet the general eligibility and study patterns to earn your HSC. You will need to talk with your Year Adviser or Careers Adviser to find out whether these courses are suitable for you. Life Skills courses do not count towards the ATAR.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) - VET courses can be studied either at school or through TAFE NSW and other training providers. You will need to check with your school about which courses are available and the requirements of the different courses. For example, all VET courses involve a minimum number of hours in the work place.

VET courses contribute towards your HSC and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) VET credentials, recognised by industry and employers throughout Australia. Some of the Board Developed VET courses have an optional HSC exam so, if you choose to sit the exam, your results can also count towards your ATAR.

Understanding HSC pathways

Pathway Description 1. Accumulating You can take up to five consecutive years to finish your studies, starting from the first year

you complete an HSC course. After five years, you must have met all HSC requirements.

2. Repeating You can repeat one or more courses within the five years (see pathway 1) without penalty.

Your Record of Achievement will show the results of all attempts. The Universities

Admissions Centre (UAC) will calculate your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)

from the results of your most recent attempt.

3. Transferring credit and

recognition of prior

learning (RPL)

You may be able to count courses you did at TAFE or other educational institutions

towards your HSC as ‘credit transfer’.

Or, you may not need to complete some course components if you can show that you have


met the necessary outcomes in another way, such as through interstate study, as ‘RPL’.

This may apply to a Preliminary course, part of a Preliminary course or part of an HSC

course.

4. Accelerating You may be able to accelerate in a course, sit for the HSC exam for that course (usually at

the end of Year 11) and accumulate your results.

5. Studying during an

apprenticeship or

traineeship

You can complete a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship while you study. These

combine paid work and training, lead to a recognised Vocational Education and Training

(VET) credential and count towards your HSC.

Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)

Applications for each university course are ranked in order of merit using the ATAR. The ATAR is a scale between 0 and 100, which indicates your placing in the state, relative to all other candidates for the HSC. This ranking is based on the assumption that all Year 10 students from a cohort completed Year 12 and were eligible for an ATAR.

ATAR Rules

Rule 1 - Eligibility for an ATAR

To be eligible for an ATAR a student must complete at least ten units of Board Developed Courses including at least two units of English. The Board Developed Courses must include at least three courses of two units or greater, and at least four subjects: see (a) below

Rule 2 - Calculation of the ATAR

The ATAR will be based on an aggregate of scaled marks in ten units of Board Developed Courses comprising:

• The best two units of English and

• The best eight units from the remaining units, subject to the provision that no more than two units of

Category B courses be included

Important Notes:

a) A Subject is the general name given to an area of study. A Course is a branch of study within a subject. A subject may have several different courses, for example, with the subject English the courses will include English Standard, English Advanced, HSC English Extension 1, etc.

b) Students who are eligible for an ATAR under Rule 1 need to have completed at least eight units of Category A

courses for their ATAR to be based on ten units.


REQUIREMENTS OF THE RIVERS SECONDARY COLLEGE

• A satisfactory record of attendance

• A satisfactory record of application

• Satisfactorily completed course requirements

• Attended and seriously attempted Preliminary examinations

• Completed the required assessment tasks

Satisfactory Record of Attendance Satisfactory attendance at school is required to achieve the outcomes of the course.

In circumstances where attendance is deemed unsatisfactory, the Principal may decide that sufficient course outcomes have not been achieved.

In this situation the student’s pattern of attendance will be reviewed. Following this review the student will be required to justify to the Principal that the record of attendance has not impeded achievement of sufficient course outcomes.

Where the Principal considers that a student’s pattern of attendance could result in the non-award of a Preliminary Course(s), the student must be warned and (if the student is under 18), the parents or caregiver immediately advised in writing.

Absences through illness/injury may be allowed if considered legitimate. Medical certificates will be accepted as satisfactory evidence of legitimate absence in the event of prolonged/recurring illness/injury.

In cases of prolonged absence and where work is not possible or not done during the period of absence, the Principal will decide whether sufficient course outcomes have been met.

Under certain circumstances leave may be granted. This must be discussed and negotiated with the Principal in advance. Possible absence, such as that resulting from a student exchange, should be discussed with the Principal.

Satisfactory Record of Application

Satisfactory application is essential for the completion of Preliminary Courses. A judgement will be made by the Principal as to whether students have applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in a course by the school. In making this judgement, the Principal will take into account the degree of effort shown by students and their attitude to their studies.

In circumstances where application is unsatisfactory, “N” award will be issued for that course(s).

Satisfactory Completion of Course Requirements

A student will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the school’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has, by effort and achievement, indicated that he/she has followed the course laid down by NESA.

If such evidence does not exist, the school will apply the “N” indicator for the Preliminary Course(s).


If students have engaged in or completed insufficient set tasks and have reached virtually no other course outcomes, they cannot be regarded as having satisfactorily completed a course.

Students will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if in the Principal’s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:

a) followed the course developed or endorsed by NESA and

b) applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in

the course by the school and

c) achieved some or all of the course outcomes

Students will be deemed not to have satisfactorily completed a course if there is sufficient evidence of:

a) omission, to a significant degree, of experiences, which are integral requirements of the syllabus, eg. assignments, practical work, participation in class

b) preparation so trivial that poor examination performance is likely to result

c) failure to make a genuine attempt at assessment tasks which contribute in excess of 50 per cent of

assessment marks available. Failure to make a genuine attempt at a particular task will score zero. It is a matter of the teacher’s, in consultation with the Head Teacher’s, professional judgement whether the attempt is a genuine one.

The campus will issue warning letters to students who are in danger of not meeting course completion criteria, giving the student time for the problem to be corrected. Students will be advised as to what is necessary to enable the students to meet the requirements satisfactorily. If a student is given an ‘N’ determination in a non-mandatory course, the course will not appear on their RoSA or Transcript of Study.

Information Communication Technology Policy Assessment tasks may only be submitted on a Digital Medium (ie. USB, email etc), in the following cases:

• the teacher of the course has given permission to the class in writing to submit in digital form, specifying file

format

• the student negotiates and receives, in writing (specifying file format), permission to submit in digital form at least 2 weeks prior to the due date

A student may only submit in digital form if all the following are satisfied:

• the teacher believes it to be an appropriate form of submission

• the student takes responsibility for the file being in the specified file format and medium

• the student takes responsibility for replacing digital copies for any lost/crashed data within 24 hours of a

written request from the teacher

NB If a student submits a file format that is inappropriate or unreadable by school software, the assignment will be deemed NOT to have been submitted. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure this condition is satisfied.

Breakdown of a student’s computer hardware will only be accepted as a reason for extension if the student submits draft notes on the due date


Changes of Subjects / Courses / Units The Board of Studies requires that the school only permit course changes up to that point where students can reasonably be expected to meet the new course’s outcomes.

All decisions regarding changes of subjects/courses are at the discretion of the Principal.

All change of subjects must be completed by using The Rivers Secondary College Change of Subject Stage 6 Form. No student is permitted to change subjects until this process has been completed and final approval has been given.

Assessment Guidelines for Students • The Preliminary Course will commence in Term I and conclude with the Preliminary examinations in Term III.

• Marked assessment tasks will be handed back to each student personally.

• Absences from a task:

a) Known Absences

i) before the task, you must negotiate, an alternative time with the class teacher or Head Teacher to complete or submit the task prior to the due date.

b) Unexpected Absences

i) you should contact the school on the day of the task, to explain your absence

ii) for ongoing assessment tasks, submit the assessment task to the class teacher or Head Teacher on the first day of their return from the absence


For both a) and b) above, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher responsible for administering the task, before or during the next lesson in the subject, where a task has not been completed.

If a student knows that he/she will be absent for a reason deemed acceptable by the school on the day the assessment task is to be held, the student must negotiate an alternative time with the class teacher before the event.

• Students must personally hand in their assessment tasks to the class teacher on the due date and by the

prescribed time.

• Students must have at least 2 weeks notice of changes to Assessment Schedules.

• Any changes to the Assessment Schedules must be notified in writing to students.

• Students must keep a current timetable of assessment tasks.

• Parents/caregivers must be notified by letter when an assessment task is missed or zero score is awarded.

• If you have concerns about the timing of assessment tasks or the task, please discuss this with your teacher well in advance of the due date for the task.

NOTE

If a student is absent from school immediately preceding an in class assessment task (that is the day before an assessment task, or in the school periods leading up to the assessment task) an explanation acceptable to

the subject head teacher will be required.

Absences, submission of tasks, dishonesty An Illness/Misadventure form must be submitted to either the class teacher or Head Teacher within one day of return to school. Issues of illness must be accompanied by a medical certificate. An assessment panel consisting of the Head Teacher and Deputy Principal will consider any Illness Misadventure appeals. The student will be informed of the outcomes of the illness/misadventure appeal within two weeks of it being submitted.

The following will occur when there has been:

1. An absence from a Task with an Acceptable Explanation

Arrangements will be made for students to sit for the original or an alternative task at a later date.

2. Absences from School with No Acceptable Explanation

This will result in a score of zero. The assessment task however must still be attempted in order for course outcomes assessment to be completed.


3. Late Submission of Assessment Tasks

Score zero (except when reason deemed acceptable by the school has been given prior to the due date of the assessment).

4. Proven Dishonesty

Score zero. It is the responsibility of students to submit their own work and to acknowledge sources. Evidence to the contrary will result in a score of zero for the task. Refer to Part F Cheating in Assessment.

5. An Absence from School when Task/Calendar is Handed Out

The schedule of tasks/calendar will be posted in a prominent position (eg. the main teaching room), for all students studying the course. Students are expected to consult the schedule regularly and to keep a current timetable of assessment tasks.

Following an absence, a student must consult the subject teacher and the posted schedule of tasks to ensure the student’s calendar remains accurate.

6. Zero Mark, Estimate, Substitute Mark

Following an authorised absence, the student may be given the original assessment task unless an alternative task is deemed more appropriate.

An estimate will be awarded in exceptional circumstances in the event of authorised, prolonged absences.

Students will be informed of zero achievement in a task. A note will be sent home from the faculty to inform the parents/caregivers of the zero score. This note is expected to be signed by the parent/caregiver or student if over 18, and returned to school and stored in the faculty files.

7. Submission of Work

All work is to be personally submitted to the class teacher on or before the due date. The class teacher will identify receipt of the submitted task by recording it in a teacher’s mark book.

8. Disputes/Problems

Any dispute/problem arising out of late submission of any task or absence from a task, will be resolved by a committee consisting of the Principal (or nominee), Deputy Principal and a Head Teacher from outside the Key Learning Area concerned.

9. Students who Change Courses

Students, who have commenced a course after the assessment period has begun, will be credited with an estimate for the missed tasks. The estimate will be based on the student’s achievement in completed tasks ie. The student will receive a mark in the missed task equivalent to that of the rank they achieve in completed tasks.

10. Non-completed Tasks

If the progress of a task is interrupted (eg. by a fire), then this task is to be abandoned and an alternative task can The Rivers Secondary College | Stage 6 Assessment Guide| Page10

be scheduled.

11. Invalid, Unreliable Results

If the results of an assessment task are deemed to be invalid or unreliable by the teacher/Head Teacher, an alternative task may be set. This would only be done in extreme circumstances. Results of assessment tasks that have been completed by students will not be discarded and will be held in faculty assessment files. The task will be returned to the student.

Feedback on Performance

• The reporting of results for each assessment task should include:

1. MARK

2. RANK

3. COMMENTS WHERE APPROPRIATE WHICH MAY BE WRITTEN OR ORAL and

4. ACHIEVEMENT OF OUTCOMES ASSESSED

• The cumulative assessment mark will be conveyed to students at the end of each reporting period. It is based upon the work done to that time.

Review of School Assessment Students who wish to challenge aspects of their assessment for a course, should immediately lodge their grievance with the appropriate Subject Head Teacher, who will notify the School Assessment Appeals Panel.

For the purpose of reviewing assessment marking/ranking, a School Assessment Appeals Panel will be established comprising:

• the Principal or Nominee

• the Deputy Principal

• an independent Head Teacher

The School Review must ensure that:

1. Assessment was in accordance with School and Board of Studies policies/procedures

2. There are no computational or clerical errors

A student seeking a review must make the request within 2 days of the task being returned. A student has 5 school

days to lodge an appeal in relation to an assessment task review. The appeal will be conducted by the School Assessment Appeals Panel. Students may appeal to NESA for further review of school assessment procedures for

HSC assessments.


Examination Procedures Examinations are conducted under conditions that are fair and equal for all students. They are used so that students can demonstrate their knowledge and understanding in a subject. The following instructions are to be followed so that all students have the best chance to show the outcomes they have achieved.

Instructions to Students

1. Only clear containers holding equipment are to be taken into the exam room. No paper to be brought into

room. All paper will be supplied.

2. All bags to be placed at back of room. Please avoid bringing large bags.

3. All material taken into exam room may be examined.

4. Mobile phones must not be carried on your person and must be turned completely off if left in bags.

5. All students are to remain in the exam room for the entire length of the exam.

6. All students are to supply an ID Card for roll marking. This card should include a photo of the candidate. Your name should be clearly visible.

7. If you are going to be absent from an exam:

a) Known beforehand -

You must see the Deputy Principal prior to the set time of your exam to arrange for an alternate time.

b) On the day -

You must notify the school by phoning on the day. You must then contact the Deputy Principal as soon as possible (the day you return) to arrange an alternate time to do the exam.

8. No food or drink is permitted in exams (unless under special provisions).

Special Arrangements for Students with Disabilities

If students have a disability which would, in a normal test situation, prevent them from:

• Reading and interpreting the test questions and/or • Communicating knowledge or understanding to an examiner as effectively as a student without a disability

NESA may approve special test provisions.

Please contact the School Counsellor, Support Teacher Learning, Deputy Principal or the Year Adviser for more information.

Illness/Misadventure during the Examination

If students are ill or suffer misadventure during the major examinations, they should report this to the Deputy Principal immediately. Provide a medical certificate in the case of illness.


Preliminary HSC – Process for the Determination of N Awards

What is cheating in HSC Assessment? Cheating is any dishonest behaviour which gives a student an unfair advantage over others. What constitutes cheating during examinations and tests is generally well understood by students, but there are other types of behaviours which are considered to be cheating. Some of these include:

• Downloading an assignment from an online source and submitting it as your own work.


You/Your Parents may be sent:

Preliminary Letter(s) of Concern and/or Notices of Zero Assessment

1st Preliminary ‘N’ Warning

2nd Preliminary ‘N’ Warning

By:

Your teacher(s)

Your Teacher(s) / Head Teachers

Your Teacher(s) / Head Teachers

What this means: Your teacer(s) are concerned by your:

• poor performances in class, and/or your • failure to complete an assessment task, and/or your • lack of effort and/or interest, and/or your • frequent absence from class, and/or your • non serious attempts in tasks

A Preliminary Higher School Certificate ‘N’ Warning is an official warning, as required by the Board of Studies, that you are failing to satisfy the requirements for the award of the School Certificate. The Head Teacher will interview you about the difficulties you are having.

You have not responded to the previous ‘N’ Warning about your failure to meet requirements, or there are now new concerns. You will be interviewed again and the Head Teacher will request an interview with your parent(s).

Once you have received a 2nd Preliminary HSC ‘N’ Warning in a subject or subjects, your progress will come under the attention of the Deputy Principal.

Deputy Principal’s Letter of Concern

The Deputy Principal

The Deputy Principal will contact your parents about your continuing failure to meet requirements. They will be invited to an interview to help put together a plan for your success. You may be referred to the Learning Support Team. If you do not already have a Staff Mentor, one may be assigned to you to assist you to satisfy requirements.

The Deputy Principal will make sure that you fully understand the consequences of your continuing failure to satisfy requirements.

A Final Request to Complete Tasks


You still have not completed the required tasks, and/or put in the required effort. This letter will set a deadline date for the completion of all required tasks and explain the consequences for you if you do not complete them by the set date.

Notice of Preliminary HSC ‘N’ Determination


The deadline date has passed, and you still have not completed the required tasks. As a result, this letter will inform your parents that a recommendation for an ‘N’ Determination will be given to the Principal.

Principal’s Determination Form

The Principal

This informs you officially that an ‘N’ Determination will be sent to the Board of Studies against your name in a subject or subjects. The Principal will explain to you the Review and Appeals Process which you may use if you believe that the ‘N’ Determination is incorrect, or if you believe that you have been treated unfairly.

This process is designed to provide you with clear information about those areas in the Preliminary Higher School Certificate course with which you are experiencing difficulty. Each downward arrow between letters is representative of your failure to respond to the advice and concerns expressed by your teachers in the previous letter.

The Purpose of this process is to give you early warning, to provide you with the time and opportunity to rectify those area(s) causing concern, and to provide you with the support you may need for success in the Preliminary year.

This determination process will begin in Term 1 of Year 11. It will normally finish at the end of Term 3 Year 11.

• Buying, stealing or borrowing an assignment and submitting it as your own work.

• Copying a section of a book or an article and submitting it as your own work.

• Quoting from a source ‘word for word’, without using quotation marks.

• Copying, cutting and pasting text from an electronic source and submitting it as your own work.

• Using the words of someone else and presenting them as your own.

• Using significant ideas from someone else and presenting them as your own.

Most of the above actions can be jointly described as plagiarism.

What is Plagiarism? Plagiarism is an act of representing as one’s own original work the creative works of another, without appropriate acknowledgment of the author or source. (Creative works may include published and unpublished written documents, interpretations, computer software, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, and ideas gained through working with another person or in a group. These works may be in print and/or electronic media.)

The Internet and Plagiarism

The internet is a valuable source of information and an effective research tool. However, because electronic information is easily available does not make it ‘free’. Information you find online should be referenced just like any other source. Online sources should be used with care, fully acknowledged and evaluated in the same way as other, print based, information.

Sometimes a student might accidentally plagiarise. This is usually the result of a lack of academic writing skills, inexperience, sloppy note taking, or a combination of these. It is important that you learn and follow the rules for the acknowledgement of written works for your individual subjects.

General Principles for Acknowledgement

In all written work submitted for assessment you must show the sources of your material. The principle is that whenever submitted material is not your own original work, this must be acknowledged. To present material without acknowledgement is in effect to claim that it represents your own work and ideas.

Common Knowledge

Students sometimes have difficulty knowing where the need for acknowledgement of works starts and finishes. The principle of common knowledge is worth understanding.

Common knowledge consists of information from a field of study as well as common-sense observations. Standard information includes, for instance, the major facts of history. The dates of the First World War (1914- 1918) and the fact that the ANZACS landed on the Gallipoli Peninsular on 25th April 1915 – both are facts available in many reference books – do not need to be acknowledged, even if you have to look up the information. Folk literature, which is popularly known and cannot be traced to particular writers, is considered common knowledge. This would include nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and any stories from the oral tradition of literature. Even if you read these things in printed form, documentation is not needed.

A common-sense observation, such as the idea that weather affects people’s spirits does not require acknowledgement. But a scientist’s findings about the effects of high humidity on people with blood pressure, will require acknowledgement.

You may use common knowledge as your own, even if you have to look it up in a reference book. You may not


know, for example, the dates of the French Revolution or the standard definition of photosynthesis, although these are considered common knowledge. If you look them up in a dictionary or reference book, you do not need to acknowledge the source.

Knowing What to Acknowledge

When you write a research essay, you use information from three kinds of sources:

(1) your independent thoughts and experiences

(2) common knowledge, the basic information people share and

(3) other people’s independent thoughts and experiences. Of the three, you must acknowledge only the third, the works of others. Your teachers will speak to you about how they want you to acknowledge the works of others.

How cheating and plagiarism in school assessment tasks will be dealt with

Staff at The Rivers Secondary College expect that submitted assessment tasks will be the independent work of

that student, and that they have written their response in their own words. As indicated, where there is proven

dishonesty the following will occur:

• Copied assignments will be given a zero.

• If student A copies student B’s assignment, both students will get zero.

• Assignments copied in whole or large part from books or articles will receive zero. The same essay may not be submitted for assessment in two different subjects.

All submitted assessment tasks must have attached a Rivers Secondary College Assessment Task Cover Sheet, fully completed and signed by the student. A copy of this sheet is included in this document for your information.

Who to contact

Further advice can be obtained from:

• The Head Teacher of subjects • Careers Advisor • Deputy Principal • NESA Liaison Officer – Heidi O’Brien • School assessment coordinator


Assessment Task Cover Sheet

This cover sheet is to be completed by the student and securely attached to the front of all submitted assessment tasks (or components of assessment tasks), completed outside class time. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the details; to sign the declaration; to ensure that a staff member signs the receipt on the bottom of this page, and to detach and retain the receipt until completion of the marking process.
