For that reason it is vital that you build strong foundations during Year 11 on which you can build in the lead up to the important external IB examinations to be completed in November 2019. It is not only the content and skills taught in each course which have to be mastered, but also the different assessment procedures required in each course. As you are well aware, your performance in the final IB examinations has enormous consequences as the marks and grades achieved in the written components contribute up to 80% of the final result in each subject with the Internal Assessment, completed for the most part in the second year of the course, providing the remaining 20%-30%. Year 11 provides the opportunity for you to become accustomed to the practices, requirements and assessment criteria associated with assessment in all your subjects. The main responsibility for assessment in the various IB subject disciplines rests with Heads of Department and IB subject Coordinators. They have formulated the programme of assessment tasks and weightings set out in this booklet. These tasks run throughout Year 11 but they are more heavily weighted towards the end of the year. This booklet informs you and your parents of the programme of assessment for each subject. You will also notice that all Year 11 IB students will be given an Early Indicator Grade on their reports. This is designed to provide feedback for the student on where they currently stand against the IB grade descriptors. Given that many IB exams contribute 70-80% of the final grade awarded, these Early Indicator Grades are based on a combination of Internal Trinity examinations and assessments designed to mirror the expectations of their final IB grades. They are not promises of future success nor should they demoralise a student from continuing to work. They are simply informed estimates of the student s skills and knowledge to use as a building block for future goals. One of the main purposes of the booklet is to help you manage your time and to plan effectively so that you are not leaving it to the last minute to complete important tasks and so that you can prepare thoroughly for the formal examinations held at the end of each semester. Please sit down with your parents and plan ahead successful planning and time management are the keys to avoiding procrastination and to achieving the highest IB grades and scores of which you are capable. I also encourage you to consult the School s Assessment Policy which is available on the School s website and on TNet. Some of the rules and procedures concerning assessment can be found on the following pages as well. You only get out of the IB programme what you put into it. By choosing the IB you are showing us that you are a self-motivated, independent learner who is prepared to throw himself into every aspect of the programme. I hope it is a successful, enriching, exciting and memorable journey! Chris Barnes Director of the IB October 2017 Following is a summary of assessment items for Year 11 students undertaking the IB Diploma Programme at Trinity Grammar School. 2

A NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY Throughout this document, the word Assessment (capitalised) is distinguished from the more general assessment. The Assessment Programme, comprising a number of Assessment tasks, is a formal set of procedures, overseen by the respective Head of Department, designed to measure the achievement of all students undertaking a course in a consistent and comparable manner. Boys will be asked to undertake many other tasks which do not form part of the Assessment Programme, but which nevertheless help the teacher to make an assessment of their learning. Effective learning requires that boys undertake all tasks set by their teachers; Assessment tasks nevertheless have a particular significance. SECTION 1 PURPOSES OF ASSESSMENT The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) defines assessment as the process of identifying, gathering and interpreting information about students learning. The IBO uses a similar definition. Assessment is a vital part of the School s teaching and learning programme as it provides parents, teachers and students with valuable information about students learning. This information is useful, both to monitor and improve teaching and learning strategies, and to measure the outcomes of learning at particular key stages. In Senior School (Years 10, 11 and 12) Assessment takes on the special significance of contributing to the award of important public credentials the Record of School Achievement, Higher School Certificate and International Baccalaureate Diploma. ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OUTCOMES All syllabuses published by the NESA for Years 7-12 specify required Learning Outcomes. Syllabuses for the International Baccalaureate take a similar approach. The purpose of Assessment is to measure the extent to which students have achieved the Learning Outcomes at a given point in time. For this reason, while Assessments will be carried out throughout the year, the Assessments completed towards the end of the year are of most importance and will be weighted accordingly. There are no predetermined patterns of marks or grades superimposed on Assessment tasks. The purpose is simply to measure and identify what students know and can do in relation to the required outcomes for each Stage in the subjects (or criteria in the IB courses) they are studying. Public Assessments conducted for the Higher School Certificate (HSC Examinations) and International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB Examinations) are also based on the measurement of learning outcomes. YEAR11 Throughout Year 11 the School conducts Assessment in each subject of the IB Diploma Programme. The purpose of the Assessment Programme is to enable the School to determine a percentage mark for each student in each of his subjects. 2018 PART A INTRODUCTION TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL YEAR 11 IB DIPLOMA ASSESSMENT INFORMATION 3

The IB Diploma course runs over two years culminating in assessment of all aspects at the end of the second year. The International Baccalaureate Organisation requires the School to provide a Predicted Grade for each student in each subject presented for the IB (including Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay). In all subjects there is also an Internal Assessment component. A Predicted Grade requires the teacher to exercise a professional judgment to predict the final outcome of the course. This professional judgment will be based on the teacher s professional knowledge and assessment of the boy, and will be influenced by the whole range of assessment tasks and other work presented by the boy during the IB Programme. Predicted Grades are used by the IB Organisation to monitor the performance of schools and its own marking procedures at the time of the examinations. They are not used for candidates affected by adverse circumstances or with incomplete Assessment. The Internal Assessment mark in each course is based on the Internal task in each subject and will be moderated by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) to ensure consistency of standards across the world-wide candidature. The moderated Internal Assessment then contributes directly to the student s final result for the subject (the percentage differs from subject to subject). Throughout the eight terms of the IB course, the School will conduct an Assessment Programme in each subject. Tasks undertaken in Year 12, in particular, will be used to determine the Predicted Grade submitted to IBO. A subject specific task undertaking in Year 12 will provide the Internal Assessment mark submitted to the IBO for moderation. IB candidates receive a mark for each subject out of 7, and a total mark out of 45. This comprises > 3 Higher Level (HL) subjects each out of 7 (= possible 21 marks) 1 > > 3 Standard Level (SL) subjects each out of 7 (= possible 21 marks) > > Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay out of 3 The IB Diploma is awarded to a candidate whose total score is 24 or higher, providing that a number of other technical conditions have been met. These technical conditions are revised from time to time, and the Director of the IB ensures that IB students are aware of those that currently apply. 1. Candidates may elect to enter four HL and two SL subjects. 4

SECTION 2 THE ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME IN SENIOR SCHOOL (YEARS 10-12) In Senior School, Assessment takes on a greater significance, and for Years 11 and 12, it is part of the public credentialling process. Strict rules are laid down by the International Baccalaureate Organisation 2 and the School must obey these, both to maintain the integrity of the Assessment process and to serve the best interests of Trinity boys. The rules which govern Assessment in Years 10-12 are contained in this section. ASSESSMENT PROGRAMMES For each subject in each Senior School Year group the Head of Department will publish an Assessment Programme early in the academic year. The Assessment Programme will indicate > > the Assessment tasks which will take place throughout the academic year > > in general terms what syllabus outcomes each task is intended measure > > approximately when each task will occur (with specific dates to be supplied later) > > what percentage of the final Assessment mark each task contributes. cannot always be avoided, and it will not be grounds for appeal that a boy has more than one Task on any day, or has several successive days of Assessments, providing that due notice has been given for each. VARIATION FROM THE PUBLISHED ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME Should it become necessary in unusual or unforeseen circumstances to change the date of an Assessment task once it has been given in writing to students, the Head of Department will negotiate a new date with the Director of Curriculum and advise the students in writing 4. Wherever feasible the Head of Department will endeavour to consult with the classes affected, but this will not always be possible. The three key principles in this procedure will be that a. the date will not generally be made earlier than that originally advised b. the weighting of the Task in the overall Assessment Programme will not generally be varied c. every consideration will be given to ensure that students do not suffer disadvantage. NUMBER AND WEIGHTING OF TASKS The School requires Heads of Departments to keep the number of Assessment tasks to a minimum so that they do not interfere with the normal processes of teaching and learning more than is necessary. Students should note that the nature of Outcome Based Assessment (for IB, criterion-referenced assessment) means that the final Assessment mark allocated to each student must be an accurate numeric representation of his level of achievement of the specified Outcomes of the course. While particular weightings are allocated to individual Assessment tasks, Heads of Department are nevertheless required to ensure that final Assessment marks reflect the boy s overall level of achievement at the end of the course. Assessment marks achieved throughout the course will be the most important means of determining this final mark but may be subject to the application of appropriate professional judgment by the Head of Department. TIMING AND NOTIFICATION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS At least two (2) weeks prior to the actual conduct of any Assessment task the Head of Department will give the specific date (or dates), and details of the task, the Outcomes to be assessed, the marking criteria and any special arrangements to students in writing. Such notification in writing will not generally be printed in hard copy, but will be made available electronically to students via the School s Information Technology systems. In some subjects Assessment takes place over a period of time. In such cases it will be sufficient for the Head of Department to have given students two (2) weeks notice of the commencement of the period of Assessment. EXTENSIONS Extensions will only be granted by a Head of Department in the most exceptional circumstances, and should not be assumed by students. Should a boy wish to seek an extension for an Assessment task, he must apply in advance in writing to the Head of the Department involved. A pro forma is available for this purpose. The Head of the Department will deal promptly with the application and advise the outcome. Generally, technical failures related to computing equipment will not constitute sufficient grounds for the granting of an Extension. Boys are expected to follow responsible practices in relation to the use of technologies, including the maintenance of reliable and up to date backup copies, allowing sufficient time to deal with potential technical failures and the retention of printed draft copies. ABSENCE FROM AN ASSESSMENT TASK OR EXAMINATION AND OTHER CASES OF MISADVENTURE Absence due to illness or misadventure If a student is very ill on the day of an Assessment task or Examination, he should not sit the task. Rather a medical certificate is to be obtained that specifies their illness and the period of time that the student is determined to be affected by the illness and submitted to the Director of Curriculum as soon as possible, but at the latest on the day of the student s return to school, for consideration. Students who sit an Assessment task while ill cannot make an illness/ misadventure claim, rather, their mark for the Assessment task will stand. Further, students cannot make a claim for illness after they have sat an Assessment task, rather, the mark for the Assessment task will stand. In approving the dates for Assessment tasks, the School will endeavour to act to avoid students having to undertake more than one Task on a given day 3. However, experience has shown that this 2. The rules determined by the International Baccalaureate Organisation differ in some ways from those of the Board of Studies. Generally the principles in this document apply to all Trinity Senior School students. However, where the IBO regulations differ, the IB Director, in consultation with the Academic Dean, may authorise a variation from these rules. 3. Except during designated Examination and/or Assessment Sessions. 4. Notification in writing can include the Head of Department or teacher supervising the students to write the amended details in their Record Book. TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL YEAR 11 IB DIPLOMA ASSESSMENT INFORMATION 5

Should an unavoidable and unplanned circumstance preclude a student s attendance at an Assessment task or examination, they are to notify the Student Services Secretary (02 9581 6033) or the EA to the Academic Dean (02 9581 6135) as early as possible. Such circumstances do not include family holidays (whenever booked), social engagements or other matters of a discretionary nature. Documentation must be submitted to suport the claim to the Director of Curriculum as soon as possible, but at the latest on the day of the student s return to School, for consideration. In the unlikely event that a circumstance eventuates which may prejudice a student s performance in an Assessment task or examination, the details should be given in writing to the Director of Curriculum as soon as possible for consideration. Illness or misadventure in the days immediately preceding an Assessment task or examination will not generally be grounds for a misadventure claim. Boys are expected to prepare over time and not to depend on last minute preparation. Nevertheless, symptoms or effects of prior illness or misadventure which are still in evidence on the day of the Assessment task or Examination, and can be reasonably proven, may be accepted as grounds for a misadventure appeal. Note: Students who sustain a short-term injury or encounter a circumstance that may impede their performance in an upcoming Assessment task or examination will not generally be granted Disability Provisions (such as extra time or a scribe) rather they are to contact the Director of Curriculum who will determine a course of action which may involve the student not undertaking the Assessment task or examination (so long as supporting medical or third party documentation is supplied) and advise the Head of Department to provide an estimate for the relevant Assessment task(s) or examination(s). Deadline for Applications for Misadventure Consideration In normal circumstances, applications for misadventure consideration will not be accepted or considered more than five (5) school days after the date of the affected Assessment task or examination. Long Term Illness or Educational Disadvantage There may be cases where a student experiences an illness or another means of educational disadvantage that is of a long term nature. Generally, such cases will be accommodated through the UAC Educational Access Scheme, not by consideration for internal Assessment tasks or examinations. Applications for the EAS Scheme are made through the Senior School Office. Subsequent procedures in relation to illness or misadventure Where a boy has missed attending an Assessment task or Examination, on the day of his return to School, he must see the relevant Head(s) of Department, who will determine, in consultation with the Director of Curriculum, how to proceed. The Head of Department will determine if it is appropriate and possible for the boy to undertake a similar Assessment task or Examination; the boy can be required to undertake the alternative on the day of his return to School. Alternatively it may be more appropriate to make an estimate based on other information about the boy s performance. Should a boy be absent from an Assessment task or Examination and fail to follow the procedures above he will be awarded zero (0) marks. In cases where it is determined by the Director of Curriculum or the Head of Department that an estimate is to be awarded for a particular task, the Head of Department will exercise his or her professional judgment, using all available evidence of achievement, to provide the most accurate estimate possible. In the absence of good evidence, the Head of Department cannot predicate estimates on a boy s potential or ability alone. The boy s rank order in the course will not necessarily be maintained. LATE ATTENDANCE AT AN ASSESSMENT TASK OR EXAMINATION Students who arrive late for an Assessment task, and who believe that circumstances beyond their control have occasioned the lateness, should report to the Head of Department concerned. The Head of Department will determine an appropriate course of action. Students who arrive late for a School Examination must report to the Master of the Senior School or the Director of Curriculum, who will determine an appropriate course of action. In general, the procedures of NESA, i.e. students may only be admitted to an Examination up to one (1) hour late, and will not be granted extra time in compensation. However, for internal School Examinations, the Master of the Senior School or Director of Curriculum may exercise discretion in this regard; for external / public Examinations no such discretion is available. Alleged misreading of the examination timetable cannot be compensated. Boys who fail to attend an examination claiming that they have misread the examination timetable will be awarded zero (0) marks. Boys are strictly warned against using draft timetables; only the final examination timetable will provide accurate information about examination scheduling. SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS Assessment tasks are extremely valuable and must be handed in responsibly. Tasks completed at home must be submitted directly to the student s teacher in circumstances conducive to their safe receipt. In the event of the teacher being unavailable, Assessment Tasks may be submitted to the respective Head of Department, or failing that to the Director of Curriculum, Master of the Senior School or Director of Curriculum s Secretary. In the case of all Assessment tasks completed at home, the student is required to keep a final copy of the submitted task. A digital backup copy or a photocopy is acceptable. The copy must be produced on request, and will provide the student with security against loss of or damage to the submitted copy. It is also important that students ensure the security of their work prior to its completion by ensuring that secure backup copies are made. Loss of a Task, either electronic or physical, will not generally be accepted as a valid reason for late submission. ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS Students are not to assume that they may submit Assessment tasks by email or by other digital media. However, on some occasions the Head of Department may instruct or allow students to submit electronically. Heads of Department may require subsequent provision of a printed copy of the task. Any such instructions will be clearly specified on the Assessment task. 6

When this is required or permitted, the task may be submitted on CD, DVD or memory stick, by email or via an electronic drop box on Managebac, but not on other media (unless specifically authorised by the Head of Department). When electronic submission does occur, the following rules will apply: 1. The School will not be responsible for unreadable, unusable or virus infected files or media. 2. The School will only accept Assessment tasks which are written in applications to which School staff have ready access, and in a format which can be read by most School computers. 3. The Assessment task should be readily identifiable on the medium. 4. An Assessment task is not considered submitted if conditions (1), (2) and (3) are not satisfied. 5. The School will not be responsible for the non-receipt or delay of emails. If submitting work by email, students must specifically request acknowledgement by return email of the receipt of their work. Teachers will acknowledge receipt as soon as feasible. Only receipts generated by the School s email system will be considered valid. Students who do not receive a receipt within a reasonable time should regard their work as not submitted and take appropriate action. 6. The School will make every endeavour to ensure the safe return of submitted media but cannot guarantee this. LATE SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENT TASKS Should a boy not hand in an Assessment task by the date on which it is due (without extension or acceptable explanation), the following procedure will be followed: > > Marks will be deducted as follows: 20% of the marks awarded for the first day 5 late a further 20% of the marks awarded for the second day late a further 10% of the marks awarded for the third day late a further 10% of the marks awarded for the fourth day late > > No further penalty will be applied; however, Assessment tasks will not be accepted for credit more than seven (7) days late, work submitted after this time may be reviewed but no mark will be awarded for credit. > > Parents will be advised by the Director of Curriculum as soon as possible of late penalties which have been applied. FAILURE TO SUBMIT OR UNDERTAKE AN ASSESSMENT TASK Should a student fail to undertake an Assessment task, or fail to submit an Assessment task for so long that it may no longer be accepted for credit, the Head of Department will advise the Director of Curriculum, who will write to the parents advising them of the fact, and detailing the penalty involved. Parents will be asked to acknowledge receipt of this letter. ALLEGED MALPRACTICE IN ASSESSMENT TASKS OR EXAMINATIONS The IBO defines malpractice, or cheating, as dishonest actions by a student, either deliberately or inadvertently, that gives them an unfair advantage over others. Allegations of plagiarism or other forms of malpractice will be reported to the Director of Curriculum, Master of the Senior School and the Director of the IB, who will consult with the respective Head of Department to investigate the matter and, if proven, determine an appropriate penalty. The award of zero (0) marks may be deemed appropriate. The outcome in such cases will be conveyed in writing to the parents. The School requires all students, prior to or upon entering Year 11, to complete NESA s on-line course, All My Own Work, which addresses matters of academic integrity. As a further reminder, Senior School students will be required to sign and date a statement of compliance upon submission of any Assessment task. However a student s failure to sign this statement will not in any way excuse malpractice. For examination and in-class test-style Assessment tasks, the wording will be: The School defines malpractice, or cheating, as dishonest behaviour by a student that gives them an unfair advantage over others. I certify that my attempt at this Assessment task does not involve any malpractice or cheating. For Assessment tasks completed at home or not under examination conditions, the wording will be: I recognise that collaborative work in the preparation of an Assessment task is permissible, but that what I submit must be my own work, and certify that 1.this is my own work, 2. no part of my submission has been copied from any other source except where due acknowledgement has been made, and 3. I have taken reasonable care to prevent my work being copied by another student. APPEALS RELATING TO ASSESSMENTS Appeals relating to the appropriateness of the marks awarded for any Assessment task should be directed to the respective Head of Department at the time of the return of the Assessment task 6. Should the matter not be satisfactorily resolved through the Head of Department, the student may make further application for reconsideration through the Director of Curriculum. Students should note that marks may either go up or down in the process of remarking. The penalty in such cases is the award of zero (0) marks for the task. Students who fail to attend an Examination due to an alleged misreading of the timetable will not be able to undertake the Examination at a later date and will be awarded 0 marks. 6 Generally this means within one school day of the return of the marked Assessment Task. 5. A day means any day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Hence an Assessment due on Friday but handed in on the following Monday would be three (3) days late attracting a 50% penalty. Boys should note the provisions for electronic submission, and also note that, in emergencies, Assessment Tasks can be handed in to the Master-on-Duty on a Saturday or a Sunday. TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL YEAR 11 IB DIPLOMA ASSESSMENT INFORMATION 7

ESTIMATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN TERTIARY ADMISSION RANK (ATAR) The School is not able to provide reliable estimates of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). The final ATAR is calculated from data which have not yet been created while students are still at School, and to which the School has little or no access. When an estimate of a student s ATAR or IB predicted grades are required for an application for a scholarship or similar purpose, the Director of Curriculum will provide the best estimate which can be derived from the available data. However, the School, the Head Master, the Director of Curriculum and Director of the IB disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy of any such estimate, which is provided only to avoid disadvantage to Trinity students.

The External Assessment contributes 80% to each candidate s overall result and is based upon three examination papers taken as a part of the IB Examinations in November of Year 12. The trial or mock examinations and other examinations and tests set by Trinity throughout the course do not contribute towards the final result. However, they will influence the anticipated grade, which the School is required to provide towards the completion of the course. This anticipated grade could become important, for example, in a case of misadventure. For both the SL & HL courses please note the following for External Assessment: ÆÆ Paper 1 contains only multiple-choice questions style questions on core material (SL 30; HL 40). Approximately 15 of the SL questions are common with HL. The use of calculators is not permitted. Students will be provided with a periodic table. No marks are deducted for incorrect answers. ÆÆ Paper 2 contains short-answer and extended-response questions on core material. The use of calculators is permitted. A chemistry data booklet is provided. ÆÆ Paper 3 contains questions on core and option material. Section A will have one data-based question and several short-answer questions on mandatory experimental work. Section B: short-answer and extended-response questions from one option. The use of calculators is permitted. A chemistry data booklet is to be provided by the school INTERNAL ASSESSMENT The internal assessment requirements are the same for Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The internal assessment, worth 20% of the final assessment, consists of one scientific investigation planned and carried out by the student, the duration of which is 10hrs (includes some planning and actual first-hand data collection). The individual investigation should cover a topic that is commensurate with the level of the course of study. Student work is internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated by the IB. The performance in internal assessment at both SL and HL is marked against common assessment criteria, with a total mark out of 24. Preparation for the IA will commence in calendar Term 1 of Year 12 and be completed during calendar Term 2 of Year 12. Criteria The assessment model uses five criteria to assess the final report of the individual investigation with the following raw marks and weightings assigned: Personal Engagement Exploration Analysis Evaluation Communication Total 2 (8%) 6 (25%) 6 (25%) 6 (25%) 4 (17%) 24 (%) Levels of performance are described using multiple indicators per level. In many cases the indicators occur together in a specific level, but not always. Also, not all indicators are always present. This means that a candidate can demonstrate performances that fit into different levels. To accommodate this, the IB assessment models use markbands and advise examiners and teachers to use a best-fit approach in deciding the appropriate mark for a particular criterion. Personal engagement This criterion assesses the extent to which the student engages with the exploration and makes it their own. Personal engagement may be recognized in different attributes and skills. These could include addressing personal interests or showing evidence of independent thinking, creativity or initiative in the designing, implementation or presentation of the investigation. Exploration This criterion assesses the extent to which the student establishes the scientific context for the work, states a clear and focused research question and uses concepts and techniques appropriate to the Diploma Programme level. Where appropriate, this criterion also assesses awareness of safety, environmental, and ethical considerations. Analysis This criterion assesses the extent to which the student s report provides evidence that the student has selected, recorded, processed and interpreted the data in ways that are relevant to the research question and can support a conclusion. Evaluation This criterion assesses the extent to which the student s report provides evidence of evaluation of the investigation and the results with regard to the research question and the accepted scientific context. Communication This criterion assesses whether the investigation is presented and reported in a way that supports effective communication of the focus, process and outcomes. Further detailed information regarding both the External and Internal Assessments can be found in the Course Guides (includes Syllabus) for Group 4 Science Subjects TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL YEAR 11 IB DIPLOMA ASSESSMENT INFORMATION 19
