Development and Implementation of Assessment Tasks Assessment tasks are aligned with school programs and syllabuses. The Head Teacher is responsible for the development and implementation of assessment procedures in their Key Learning Area. In many instances this may be delegated to a year coordinator within the faculty. Organisation of assessments include: Aligning assessment with the learning program Timing of assessments Designing assessment tasks Developing marking criteria and rubric Feedback on individual performances Return of assessments within two weeks Recording of results Appeals If students feel that marks do not reflect their performance in accordance with the marking guidelines, students must notify the Classroom Teacher within one week of the return of the assessment task. If after consulting the Classroom Teacher the student still feels they have been disadvantaged, they may consult the Head Teacher. Resubmission In order to improve on their learning outcomes, students may resubmit assessment tasks to their teachers. This improvement will be reflected on their reports. Resubmission needs to be negotiated with the class teacher and the task must be resubmitted within five (5) school days. Assessment Free Periods Across the year assessment will take precedence over individual assessments. Each year is allocated an assessment/testing time. There will be an assessment free period one week before the assessment schedule time. This will allow students time to study so that they may perform to their personal best. Every effort will be made by the school not to conduct excursions during the assessment free period. Integrity It is expected that all students will approach assessments with integrity and a desire to perform to their personal best. Students who complete tasks without integrity will be awarded zero. Completing tasks without integrity include: Copying another student’s work, part of or in its entirety Using material directly from books, magazines, journals or Internet and not referencing it Submitting work which another person has contributed to substantially, such as a tutor, parent or any older student Offensive commentary, drawings Communicating during examinations The decision to award zero will be made in consultation with the teacher and Head Teacher. Parents will be informed by letter and an interview may be held at the parent’s request.

Collaborative Learning Assessment Many faculties will use collaborative learning as part of their class assessments. Whilst the emphasis may be on group work, individual marks will be given to students in accordance with the marking criteria. An assessment of a student’s ability to work independently and as part of a group will be reflected in the Learning Habits of their reports. Take Home Assessments Take home assessments/assignments are to be handed in on the due date. If a student is absent the parent should contact the classroom teacher regarding the absence. The task is to be submitted on the student’s next day of attendance before school. Late Penalties – 10% per day Notification of Assessment Tasks Notice of assessment tasks will be given to students in writing two weeks before the assessment date. Students will be given an overview at the beginning of a course of the expected assessments for the year. Assessment notice will include: Topic Outcomes to be assessed Due date and mark allocation Task description Marking guidelines where applicable Assessments will all have: School logo Outcomes to be assessed The task Criteria Rubrics Assessment Schedule On any given day a student can expect a maximum of two formal assessments. Assessments should be spaced so that students have a break between assessments. Return of Assessments It is expected that there is a two week turn around with assessments. Assessments with appropriate feedback should be given to students no later than two weeks after the scheduled assessment. Whole School Commitments Northmead Creative and Performing Arts High School is committed to a comprehensive education and the development of the whole person. School events which are on the school calendar will take precedence over assessment tasks. Many of our students participate in extra curricula activities which include the development of special talents. Head Teachers may at the Executive Meeting ask for consideration for students who participate in extra curricula activities in terms of alternative timing and/or tasks of assessments.
