Labelling and Packaging of Materials Submitted for Moderation

Whether using electronic or other media for your Visual Arts moderation submission, please follow these instructions.

Copies of the assessment activity and schedule must be accompanied by the Moderation Cover Sheet. The cover is available for download (see below).
Submissions should not exceed A2 in size.
Where possible, original work is to be sent for moderation. Quality colour copies may be submitted for coloured work where necessary. The submission of black and white photocopies of colour pages makes accurate moderation difficult.
Three-dimensional work is to be appropriately photographed and labelled with information relating to size, materials, and construction processes used.
CDs and DVDs must be clearly labelled with school name and standard on both the disk itself and its outer case. Before dispatch, CDs and DVDs should be bubble-wrapped (or similar) for transportation to the moderator and the special coversheet for electronic media included (see above).
Clearly identify which standard is being assessed. When work relating to more than one standard is present in the student workbook, work for the standard being moderated must be clearly identified.
Where more than one task has been undertaken by the student, each task must be clearly identified.
All work must be dry and fixed securely with no dangerous materials such as glass or metal attached.
The sequence of pages is to be maintained so that the reading of work is not compromised. Each student's work submitted for moderation must be held together securely by stapling, binding or taping to ensure the sequence of work is maintained.
All work is to be placed in the plastic bag provided by NZQA. Heavy and bulky submissions must be secured with additional tape to ensure that they do not open in transit. Please ensure that the package is of a reasonable weight. Teachers need to be selective about what they send.
