ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE Rationale The basic principle behind assessment is that it gives the student an opportunity to demonstrate either in writing and/or orally information and/or skills that they have developed or improved upon. The College endorses the fact that a student’s Level of Achievement must be a valid and fair representation of the student’s ability and performance at the time of assessment. For this reason, the College will not deduct marks for late assessment. However, the College reserves the right, in fairness to all students, to abstain from assessing work that is not submitted according to the assessment time frames as outlined below. One week prior to the due date, the teacher must check the progress of all students. For any student at risk of completing the task, the teacher will notify parents via a phone call or email. The form “Unsatisfactory Progress on an Assessment Task” will also be posted to parents. Students submit their work to the teacher in the lesson on the due date for the assessment task If the student does not submit the task, a letter will be issued to parents identifying the non-submission. Non-submission in Year 11 or 12 can have very serious consequences for the student: - not passing the course - not receiving credit for the semester studied - failing to satisfy the perquisite subject required for further study - not receiving an OP and/or a QCE (i.e. If less than 20 semesters of credit) If a student demonstrates a pattern of non-submission, the student and her parent/s will be required to attend an interview with the Pastoral Co-ordinator and a member of the Administration Team. Normal extension procedures apply for special circumstances. Special circumstances include illness and compassionate leave. Family holidays and avoidable absences are generally NOT regarded as sufficient grounds for an extension. If a Year 11 or Year 12 student is absent from school on the day of an examination or the due date for a major piece of assessment, the student must collect a ‘Request for Special Consideration’ form from the Deputy Principal on her return to school. The completed form, and any other supporting documentation such as a doctor’s certificate, needs to be presented to the Deputy Principal. In addition, the school should be informed of the student’s absence, by phone, on the day that the assessment falls due. General In the case of an individual or group oral presentation or performance for assessment, students must be ready to perform on the day. If students do not have the oral ready, they will receive a non-submission. Non-submission may affect the overall result for a subject at the end of the semester. It is the responsibility of the student to consult the teacher regarding any alternative assessment procedures. It must be appreciated that student absence on the day of a test or oral presentation may require students to take the test or present the oral on return to school. GROUP PRESENTATIONS: A student who is considered to be not contributing to a group presentation will be withdrawn from the group and asked to do an individual presentation. Students are required to save up-to-date versions of all electronic work to their College network drives. Students are also advised to keep progressive drafts in hard copy form or backups saved electronically using devices such as USB memory sticks. An extension request due to computer technical problems would require the student to provide some evidence of their progress on the task. St Margaret Mary’s College Senior Handbook for 2012 Page 14
