Endeavour Sports High School810 Plagiarism8.1 Plagiarism can be viewed as the product of poor task/assessment preparation, research skills, and lackof confidence or many other variables. Opportunities for plagiarism have spread with increased access tothe internet. In the end it is an act that can potentially provide an unfair advantage to a student in terms ofother candidates in the same course.Definition: plagiarism includes using work of another individual and presenting it as one’s own(Macquarie University, Plagiarism Policy, 2003)The following examples would be classed as plagiarism: Downloading an assignment from an online source and submitting it as your own work Buying, stealing or borrowing an assignment and submitting it as your own work Copying, cutting and pasting text from an electronic source and submitting it as your own work Using the words of someone else and presenting them as your own (e.g. presenting an assessment taskdone by a current ex-student as your own) Relying too much on other people’s material – i.e. repeated long quotations.(The Learning Centre, Avoiding Plagiarism, UNSW)Strategies to avoid Plagiarism Make sure you understand the set assessment task and sub-components of the task (Assessment taskdescription, outcomes assessed, marking criteria and any specific rules for the task). If you are not clearof the requirements, ask your teacher and ensure you do this when the task is handed out, rather thanleaving it too late to effectively complete the task. Plan your resources to thoroughly research the set task. Quality investigation takes time, organisationand management. Access only relevant material and a variety of resources if appropriate. If resources are suggested forthe assignment/project then make sure that you understand these before other resources/referencesare considered. Acknowledge all sources i.e. books, journals, web pages, letters, films, interviews, lectures, newspapers,etc. Avoid excessive passages by another author, even where the sources are acknowledged. Find anotherform of words to show that you have thoughts about the material and understood it, stating clearlywhere you found your ideas.Consequences of Plagiarism:Plagiarism is a form of malpractice and as such a zero will be awarded to any student who is guilty ofactively plagiarising.11 Illness or Misadventure Appeals9.1 If the performance of a student is adversely affected by an illness or misadventure then the studentmay complete an Illness or Misadventure Appeal Form. Forms are available from the Deputy Principal, HeadTeachers or the School Counsellor.For Illness or Misadventure appeals to be considered, students must notify the Head Teacher or DeputyPrincipal on the day of the task and all evidence associated with the appeal must be included (attached). Ifthe appeal is successful, the performance of the student on the task in question will be reviewed by thePrincipal (or delegate) with respect to the student’s performance on all other tasks that he/she hascompleted in the course. If the task result deviates significantly from the student’s historical result patternthen the Principal may delete that mark and order an estimateYear 12 HSC Assessment Guide 2019 – 2020

Endeavour Sports High School912 ULTIMO RTO 90072 VET Vocational Education and Training (VET) CoursesVocational Education and Training (VET) courses are offered as part of the Higher School Certificate (HSC)or Record of School Achievement (RoSA). VET courses are designed to deliver workplace-specific skills andknowledge and cover a wide range of careers and industries. VET courses for secondary students aredeveloped by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and are based on national training packages.VET courses allow students to gain both HSC or RoSA qualifications and a qualification recognisedthroughout Australia as part of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). These qualifications arewidely recognised by industry, employers and tertiary training providers e.g. TAFENSW and Universities andwill assist students to move easily between various education and training sectors and employment.Public Schools NSW, Ultimo operates as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to deliver and assess VETqualifications to secondary students.NESA Board Developed VET courses are classified as Category B subjects and ONLY ONE may contribute tothe calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). These courses have an optional HSCexamination. Students wishing to include a VET course in the ATAR calculation must sit the HSCexamination.NESA Board Developed VET courses have specified workplace requirements and include industry specificmandatory work placement (35 hours per 120 hours of delivery) or occasionally simulated workplace hoursat school.NESA Board Endorsed VET courses do count towards the HSC or RoSA but do not have HSC examinationstherefore do not count in the calculation of the ATAR. Board Endorsed VET Courses have either mandatoryor recommended industry specific work placement.Assessment in all VET courses is competency based. The student is assessed on what they can do (the skills)and what they know (the knowledge) that will equip them in the workplace. Students who have successfullyachieved competency will have the skills and knowledge they need to complete workplace activities in arange of different situations and environments, to an industry standard of performance that is expected inthe workplace.Competency-based assessment materials are designed to ensure that each learner has achieved all theoutcomes (skills and knowledge). Competency-based training is based on performance standards that havebeen set by industry. Students will receive documentation showing the competencies achieved for the VETcourse undertaken.If the student has already completed part of the course elsewhere, or have previous life or workexperience in the relevant industry, he or she may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) forpart of the course, or for 35 Hours work placement in the HSC course. The student does not have to repeatthe training or assessment but must produce evidence of competence (which may be demonstratedduring a skills and knowledge assessment). The VET committee consisting of the VET teacher, VETCoordinator and a member of the senior executive will determine if the student is eligible.If a student has completed a unit of competency with another RTO (common examples include a whitecard course, first aid certificate or a barista course), and the student can supply evidence of the same oran equivalent competency, credit transfer is awarded.Due to the specific requirements of a VET course it is recommended students speak to the VETCoordinator or Careers Adviser before choosing the course to ensure they are fully aware of therequirements.Year 12 HSC Assessment Guide 2019 – 2020
