Our teachers use a variety of strategies to assess each student's work. This includes observing their work in class and looking closely at the work they produce throughout the year.
Teachers also assess each student's achievements based on the outcomes of the syllabuses of each course.
There are two reports on student progress during the Higher School Certificate course:
1. a Mid Course report; and
2. an End of Course report.
We provide detailed information to students about what is expected from them throughout the year and how their work will be assessed.
Year 12 students receive their assessment and reporting information at the beginning of Term 4. The Year 12 2023 assessment handbook consists of detailed information which includes the school's Higher School Certificate Assessment and Reporting Policy and procedures, the schedule of assessment tasks for their courses, extracts from the relevant NESA syllabus, as well as extracts from the NESA ACE Manual.
The VET Assessment Advice (pdf 14 KB) provides more information about our VET courses. The roles and responsibilities document (pdf 153 KB) allows parents/carers to review their roles and responsibilities for work placement.
Request for consideration
Please refer to the specific assessment and reporting policies for more information about requests for consideration in the event that students do not complete an assessment task on the scheduled date. You may lodge an application for special consideration using our updated misadventure form (pdf 123 KB).
Our proforma for Independent evidence of illness or misadventure (pdf 186 KB) needs to be completed so more information explaining the absence can be provided.
Parent/carer - teacher meetings
Parents/carers will have the opportunity to discuss their child's progress at a parent-teacher meeting during the year. However, if there are any issues you wish to discuss with your child's teacher, please contact the front office to arrange an appointment
