We expect our students and staff to act with integrity and honesty in their daily conduct and in all aspects of College life. This includes submitting work that is the students own or has been referenced appropriately. For Senior School students, this policy is tobe read in conjunction with the College’s current VCE / VET /VCAL handbook  \nAIMS  \nTo have a clear understanding of what plagiarism is, how it can be avoided and how the college will handle accidental and deliberate acts of plagiarism. Mentone Girls’ Secondary College expects all students, parents and teachers to be aware of this policy and comply with it.  \nIMPLEMENTATION  \nAuthentication of Student Work  \nAuthentication processes for VCE are quite strictly determined by VCAA, therefore it is important that we implement similar processes in Years 7 – 10 to ensure consistency across the college and prepare our students for the rigorous expectations of VCE. Students will also be provided with information in relation to assessment protocols and authentication at the start of the year.  \nConducting Assessment Tasks  \nIndependent tasks conducted in test conditions  \n• The classroom must be arranged so that all students are sitting separately where possible (either atthe ends of tables, on separate tables or using dividers) .  \n• Mobile phones and smart watches are not permitted in the assessment space and should be securely stored in student lockers as per the MGSC mobile phone policy  \n• Any materials which are not necessary for the task must be placed face down on the floor (this includes iPads, laptops, reference materials etc…)  \n• For all VCE SACs (Unit 3 & 4) and CATs (Unit 1 & 2) the VCE Assessment Announcements (Appendix 1) must be read aloud.  \n• Students must not be given undue assistance while undertaking assessment tasks (VCAA Administrative Handbook) .  \nIndependent tasks conducted over a period of time  \n• Teachers should clearly indicate the amount of time allowed and conditions for assessment (including if students may work on tasks at home, work in groups, resources that they can refer to, etc. )  \n• A significant amount of class time should be spent on the task so that the teacher is familiar with each student’s work in progress and can regularly monitor and discuss aspects of the work with each student. (VCAA Administrative Handbook) .  \n• Students should document the specific stages of the development of work, starting with an early part of the task, such as the topic choice, list of resources and/or preliminary research. (VCAA  \nAdministrative Handbook) .  \nUnit 3 & 4: School Assessed Coursework  \nPlease refer to the VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook  \n([https://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/handbook/2018/adhb18_FA2.pdf](https://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/handbook/2018/adhb18_FA2.pdf)) for specific details. What follows is a summary of points made in that document.  \n• Most work for SACs will be undertaken in class time, however in some cases students may be required to perform preparatory tasks or research outside of class time. In this case teachers must monitor and record student progress, this requires regular sightings and record keeping.  \n• While drafting is an important teaching and learning strategy in some subjects, teachers cannot give feedback on tasks which will contribute to a SAC score.  \nUnit 3 & 4: School Assessed Tasks  \nPlease refer to the VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook  \n([https://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/handbook/2018/adhb18_FA2.pdf](https://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/handbook/2018/adhb18_FA2.pdf)) for specific details. What follows is a summary of points made in that document.  \n• Ensure there is a sufficient range of topics within a study to ensure an individual student’s work can be identified.  \n• Teachers must monitor and record the development of student work throughout, this req","cbCaifVi6RX6yCv2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifVi6RX6yCv2","pdf",368568,"English","# RATIONALE\n# AIMS\n# IMPLEMENTATION\n## Authentication of Student Work\n## Conducting Assessment Tasks\n## Unit 3 & 4: School Assessed Coursework\n## Unit 3 & 4: School Assessed Tasks\n## Strategies for avoiding authentication problems\n## Student protocols for Assessment Tasks (CATs, SACs and Additional Tasks)","[{\"question\":\"What does the policy require regarding plagiarism and integrity?\",\"answer\":\"Students and staff must act with integrity and honesty and submit work that is genuinely the student’s own or is referenced appropriately.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are authentication processes extended to Years 7–10?\",\"answer\":\"Because VCE authentication processes are strictly determined by VCAA, the college implements similar processes in Years 7–10 to ensure consistency and prepare students for VCE expectations.\"},{\"question\":\"What rules apply during independent assessment tasks in test conditions?\",\"answer\":\"Students should be seated separately where possible, mobile phones and smart watches are not permitted (stored in lockers), unnecessary materials must be placed face down, assessment announcements must be read aloud, and students must not receive undue assistance.\"}]","Plagiarism and Authentication Policy - Mentone Girls’ Secondary College | PDF",1789906454,15]
