Scotch College has adopted a comprehensive policy for the assessment of Senior School work.
At the beginning of the year all students will receive assessment guidelines for each subject outlining the following:
-
The details of the course assessment structure
-
The type of assessments that will be used
-
The timing and nature of each assessment
-
The work that will be covered by each assessment
At various times during the year, students will receive information about their progress.
At the end of each semester, Year 8 to 10 students will receive an IBMYP 1-7 grade for each subject studied.
Year 11 to 12 students will receive a grade or level for each subject studied - provided the course and the assessment items for that course have been completed. A student may confirm with the Curriculum Leader for each of his subjects that results for assessment items have been entered correctly.
A student may ask for a review of his results to determine whether:
-
the assessment procedures conform with the Curriculum Council guidelines;
-
the assessment procedures conform with the Scotch College assessment policy;
-
there are any procedural or computational errors.
A review must be requested within five School days of issue of results. In a review, work will not be remarked.
