Achievement Standards

Achievement standards in the form of unit grades provide a guide for teacher judgement of students’ achievement, based on the assessment criteria, over a unit of work. Grades are organised on an A-E basis. During 2014 – 15 the BSSS grade descriptors will be used in determination of grades.

The following descriptors are consistent with the system grade descriptors, which describe generic standards of student achievement across all courses.

Grades are awarded on the proviso that the assessment requirements have been met. When allocating grades, teachers will consider the degree to which students demonstrate their ability to complete and submit tasks within a specified time frame.
