BOS Course Performance Indicators

'Course performance descriptors have been developed for each Stage 5 Board Developed course.'

'The descriptors describe the main features of a typical student's performance at each grade measured against the syllabus objectives and outcomes for the course. In applying these descriptors, teachers should interpret them in terms of standards that can be achieved by School Certificate students within the bounds of the course.'

'Teachers should use their professional judgement in applying the course performance descriptors. It is not intended that the course performance descriptors represent a checklist, or provide a comprehensive description of student performance at each grade level.

The descriptor that provides the best overall description of the student’s achievement will determine the grade awarded.'
