Students who have completed the program will also know about penalties for cheating and how to avoid malpractice when preparing their work for assessment. The program was completed by year 11 students who are new to the College this week and year 10 will complete their modules next week in preparation for 2025 studies.

Subject changes - Subject changes will cease at the end of this week for year 9, 10 and 11. Reminder that they can only be made as long as there is availability in that class.

Year 10 Assessment changes for 2024

In order to better prepare our year 10 students for year 11/HSC expectations, especially assessments we are now formalising year 10 assessment. Within that we are implementing 1 exam type task per subject a year which will again help prepare them for their senior years of study.

Number of assessment tasks per subject per Term

• ➢ Maximum of one summative common task of various types per subject, per term.
• ➢ One formal end of course exam / or semester for each subject (4 task - 1 must be exam)
• ➢ Continue with ongoing formative in class assessment

Expectation/process for summative common tasks:

• ➢ Students are expected to hand in the task on the due date. Students will contact the college if they are away on the day it is due. They will also inform their teacher if they are away on planned leave. Penalties for late or non completion will be a Zero mark given and the student cannot get an A grade for that subject
• ➢ N-warning letter sent home

Task will still need to be completed and marked.
