Assessment Procedures Document The Purpose of Assessment Student’s Responsibilities Regarding Assessment is the broad name for the collection and evaluation of Assessment evidence of a student’s learning. It is integral to teaching and learning Students are responsible for: and has multiple purposes. Assessment can enhance student engagement and motivation, particularly when it incorporates • demonstrating through application and achievement that they have interaction with teachers, other students and a range of resources. met requirements • meeting all course requirements including attendance at class Assessment provides: • applying themselves with diligence and sustained effort, to the best • opportunity for teachers to gather evidence about student of their ability, to the set tasks and experiences provided in each achievement in relation to outcomes course • opportunity for students to demonstrate what they know and can • making a genuine attempt at all assessment tasks do • their personal honesty-work submitted must be the student’s own • ability to clarify student understanding of concepts and promotes work and sources consulted or quoted must be acknowledged deeper understanding • submitting all tasks on or before the due date • evidence that current understanding is a suitable basis for future • being present for all in class assessment tasks and examinations learning. • understanding this document Gathered evidence is used by teachers for assessment of learning to rank To help meet these responsibilities each student will receive: or grade students. This usually takes place at key points in the learning cycle. Students receive reports identifying the levels of skill, knowledge • an assessment schedule and course requirements for each course and understanding they have achieved. • at least two weeks notification that an assessment task will take place or be due on a particular date • feedback on each assessment task as soon as possible • a Mid-Course and Yearly Report, which will indicate to them, their level of success in attaining the outcomes of each course, as required by the NSW Educations Standards Authority 2020-02-20, LA Year 9 Assessment Schedule Page 4 of 35

Assessment Notification Where an absence is known beforehand (for example, an overseas trip) All students must receive written notification from their teacher of the the student must make arrangements for the task to be submitted on or actual due date and details of an assessment task at least two weeks before time.

It remains the student’s responsibility to complete the task on time, unless it is an in- Only two assessment tasks will be due on any one day. class assessment. In that circumstance, alternate arrangements can be made in consultation with the relevant Head Teacher. The written notification has precedence over the information listed in the assessment schedule contained in the student assessment booklet. On some occasions it may be necessary for the type of task, date of the task, syllabus components for assessment, or weighting of the task to be changed from what is printed in the assessment booklet, so written notification given by the teacher will be used to list the correct details for each assessment task. 2020-02-20, LA Year 9 Assessment Schedule Page 5 of 35
