Just wondering if teachers and principles see what their students got in the HSC, or do they receive mystery marks with no names attached.
This is what schools receive:
* A report called
School Group Statistics. It lists each course studied at the school, the number of students, the average and standard deviation of the school assessment marks, the average and standard deviation of the moderated assessment marks, the average and standard deviation of the exam marks for the students at the school, and the average and standard deviation of the exam marks for all students studying the course. The final column is the difference between the school exam average and the state exam average.
* A report called
Principal's Result List. An alphabetical list of all students at the school. For each student it lists the courses they studied, their school assessment mark, moderated assessment mark, exam mark, HSC mark and performance band. This is identical to the information that students receive, except for the school assessment mark.
*
Principal's Result List by Course. It is organised into courses. For each course it lists the students studying the course in alphabetical order, along with their school assessment mark, moderated assessment mark, exam mark, HSC mark and performance band. This report also includes for each course the percentage of students who are in each performance band for the school, and the percentage in each performance band for the state. This allows a school to see if they are over or under-represented in each performance band.
*
Components Report. For courses with major works, and for courses with different exam components, for example English, it lists the percentage of each student's mark that is derived from each component. For example, in English a student should get 40% from paper 1 and 60% from paper 2. Sometimes a student is better at paper 1 and they may get 45% of their mark from paper 1 and 55% from paper 2. This report is useful when it shows a trend - for example if the whole English class does better in paper 1 than paper 2. This report is generally available in mid January.
Schools do not receive ATARs.
