Assessment Policy


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.
