- School assessment weighting
- Internally marked school assessment usually contributes about 70% of the final Stage 2 Creative Arts grade, with the remainder from external assessment.
- External assessment weighting
- Externally marked assessment set by the SACE Board usually contributes about 30% of the final grade in Stage 2 Creative Arts.
- Performance standards
- A–E grade descriptors describing quality of knowledge, creative application, and evaluation; marks must be referenced to these descriptors rather than task checklists.
- Assessment Type 1
- School-assessed practical or creative tasks, often two or more, typically worth around 40% and judged against the performance standards.
- Assessment Type 2
- A school-assessed major practical or product with supporting documentation, typically worth around 30% of the final grade.
- Moderation
- Quality-assurance process comparing school judgments with SACE Board standards; marks may be adjusted if the sample shows consistent over- or under-scoring.
- Authentication
- Teacher verification that submitted work is the student's own; collaboration, borrowed material, and external assistance must be declared and acknowledged.
- Formative evidence
- Drafts, journals, and process folios that inform teacher judgment but count only where they meet the task's stated requirements and are authenticated.
- Task design statement
- Specifies required evidence, conditions such as time and supervision, and the performance standards applied to a school-assessed task.
- Evidence requirements
- The product, performance, written statement, or presentation a task demands; only evidence meeting these requirements can count toward the grade.
- Conditions of assessment
- Time limits, supervision level, and permitted resources set for a task; they determine what evidence is valid for marking.
- Grade band descriptors
- A–E statements describing quality across knowledge and understanding, creative application, and evaluation and reflection; used to place student work.
- Quality assurance sample
- A selection of student work reviewed by the SACE Board to confirm school judgments align with statewide standards.
- Collaboration declaration
- Documentation of shared work in a group task, identifying each student's contribution so individual achievement can be judged fairly.
- External folio
- A SACE Board–set submission combining creative work with written investigation or rationale, marked by external assessors against the performance standards.
- External investigation
- A written inquiry set by the SACE Board requiring research, analysis, and acknowledgment of sources, assessed externally against the performance standards.
- Authenticity declaration
- A student statement that submitted external work is their own, acknowledging all sources; false declarations breach assessment rules.
- External marking
- Judging of submitted work by SACE Board markers with no prior knowledge of the student's process, based only on the evidence submitted.
- Word count compliance
- External written components must fall within limits set by the subject outline; material beyond the limit may not be considered by markers.
- Submission deadlines
- Dates and formats for external submissions are set by the SACE Board; late or non-compliant work is subject to Board rules.
- Process evidence
- Documentation of drafts, decisions, and revisions that shows sustained inquiry and supports claims made in the external submission.
- Critical reflection
- Analysis of intention, choices, and outcomes that external markers reward alongside the quality of the creative product.
- Special provisions
- Adjustments for disability or illness arranged through the school and SACE Board before assessment; performance standards remain unchanged.
- Rationale
- A written statement of creative intention and context that external markers use to judge coherence between intention, process, and outcome.
- Source acknowledgment
- Citation of all borrowed ideas, images, or material; unacknowledged use, including generated content, is treated as a breach.
- Independent inquiry
- Sustained, self-directed research and creative decision-making that external markers look for in submitted evidence.
- Exhibition or performance requirement
- Any presentation condition set by the SACE Board for external work; failure to meet it affects what evidence markers can assess.
- Coherence criterion
- The alignment between stated intention, documented process, and final creative outcome, weighted in external marking.
- Product quality criterion
- Judgment of technical and creative resolution in the submitted work, referenced to the A–E performance standards.
- Written component
- The investigation, rationale, or evaluation accompanying external creative work; its depth and analysis carry substantial marking weight.
- School judgment
- The teacher's grade based on authenticated evidence and performance standards; subject to review through the Board's quality-assurance process.
- Evidence validity
- Only work produced under the task's stated conditions and requirements can count toward a school-assessed grade.
