At Everton Park State High School, assessment is used to:
- Provide information to students, parents, and teachers about the progress of learning and achievements of individual students
against Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards (7-10) and Senior Syllabuses (11-12) and progress in competencies in VET
programs delivered by the school.
- Provide information for the issuing of certificates of reporting achievement, including the Queensland Certificate of Education.
All students are expected to participate fully in learning and assessment by:
- Completing the course of study including all assessment work, including checkpoints and drafts.
- Following school policy and procedures in relation to attendance and submitting assessment.
- Ensuring work submitted is entirely their own.
Access arrangements and reasonable adjustments (AARA)
The EPSHS Assessment Policy supports the promotion of equitable and credible approach to the assessment of student learning. Students with diverse learning and assessment needs (including those with temporary illnesses and injury) and their parents/carers should consult with the relevant Head of Department (HOD) to ensure access arrangements and reasonable adjustments have been applied.
In Years 7 – 10, an application for extension or adjustments used from a documented
Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) may be required.
In Years 11 – 12, an additional Access Arrangement and Reasonable Adjustment (AARA) form is
also required.
When circumstances necessitate and eligibility criteria have been met, a student may apply for
AARA for single or multiple assessment events.
Use of Aartificial Intelligence (AI)
Unless explicitly indicated as permissible in the assessment instrument, the use of AI to
complete assessment is prohibited. The use of AI without attribution and/or contrary to the
direction of teachers, is considered a form of plagiarism/contract cheating and will be
considered academic misconduct. Any permissible use must be attributed using correct
conventions.
