(8) Assessment Policy for VET courses at SCC
Please first read carefully the School Assessment Policy, which is outlined in your College diary. This clearly details the College policy for the assessment of Year 11 and Year 12 work. As this is a stand alone VET subject, you will notice several differences with regard to assessment. You should particularly note the following aspects:
Supervised Tests
* Students who copy from another student will score zero for that task.
* Students who allow another student access to their work will score zero for that test.
* Students who are absent from tests without a valid reason will score zero for that test. A letter will be sent home to notify the parent of the missed test if a reason for the absence has not previously been received in writing. The school will determine the validity of the reason.
* Students who have their preparations for a test interrupted in the period immediately before the test date should inform the School beforehand. Students may be required to produce documentation to support their claim.
* Students who have a temporary or permanent disability which may disadvantage them in tests should inform the School and provide relevant documentation.
Unsupervised Assignments and Set Work
All set work and assignments must be presented by the advised deadline. Failure to do so may result in a NYC (Not Yet Competent).
* It is the student's responsibility to monitor the work and time schedule to meet submission deadlines. If the student is absent when the assessment task is given, then it is their responsibility to follow up and ensure they have all details of the work that needs to be completed.
* An extension of time may be granted in exceptional circumstances, but only where the student has negotiated this extension with the teacher concerned PRIOR to the submission date. This is particularly important in any Group Tasks. Students should be aware that it may not be possible to grant extensions in this task due to the nature of the projects undertaken.
* If a student does not receive an assessment task (e.g. due to a long absence), the student should see the teacher immediately on her return to School and should negotiate a submission date for this work. A satisfactory note / medical certificate may be required.
* Teachers will employ strategies to ensure that work submitted for assessment which has been completed in an out-of-class situation is the student's own work. Work will not be accepted from students who submit work which is not their own but is presented as such.
