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
and has multiple purposes. Assessment can enhance student Students are responsible for:
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 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 have access to:
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 Education Standards Authority
2018-03-22, MM Year 8 Assessment Schedule Page 3 of 19Assessment Notification Late Tasks
All tasks submitted after the designated time will be deemed LATE unless
All students must receive written notification from their teacher of the there are exceptional circumstances. Failure to submit a task by the
actual due date and details of an assessment task at least two weeks designated time will result in:
prior to the task. The written notification has precedence over the • A note being sent home

day. After 5 days the student will receive zero.)
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 A zero mark may be awarded when a student:
changed from what is printed in the assessment booklet, so written • Submits a task late (without a valid reason)
notification given by the teacher will be used to list the correct details for • Does not attempt a task (non-attempt)
each assessment task. • Does not make a serious attempt at a task (non-serious attempt)
• Is found to be involved in malpractice
Mathletics
Mathletics switches kids on to maths. It is an engaging, highly supportive
software program with activities targeted to the Australian Mathematics
Curriculum. Our school provides students with a Mathletics account to
help them learn Maths. This program can be used at home to augment
learning done in class.

and figures, as well as ideas and theories, from both published and Malpractice
unpublished works, must be referenced. Referencing is necessary to
avoid plagiarism, to verify quotations and paraphrasing, and to enable Malpractice is any activity undertaken by a student that allows them to

Referencing generally has two key elements: • using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet
without reference to the source
• an in-text reference (that is, within the text of the assessment task) • building on the ideas of another without reference to the source
