To do this, teachers must use their professional judgement to assess their students\u2019 work and provide an overall grade based on their assessment of the student\u2019s performance. This means that a student\u2019s grade needs to be determined using a range of evidence, not just one or two formal assessments.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote\">\n<p>Our teachers will use their professional judgement to make an overall assessment of a student\u2019s typical performance based on all the evidence available for the year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In our Assessment Handbooks, students will have their \u201c<em>Semester Two Grade reported based on learning activities, practicals and formal tasks for the year<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8516 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2023\/11\/Grid-333-e1699837503630.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"588\" height=\"69\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2023\/11\/Grid-333-e1699837503630.png 588w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2023\/11\/Grid-333-e1699837503630-320x38.png 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nStudents were advised of this at the beginning of the year. Teachers will make a balanced and informed assessment of a student\u2019s typical performance against the Common Grade Scale and the Course Performance Descriptors published in the Assessment Handbooks. By doing so, they can provide a comprehensive report that reflects a student\u2019s academic progress at the end of the Year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Stage 4 &amp; 5 Awards<\/h4>\n<p>On Wednesday 11 December, the College will hold the Stage 4 (9 to 10:30 am) and Stage 5 (11:30 am to 1:00 pm) End of Year Awards Assemblies.
