General Information
1. INTRODUCTION
This booklet aims to give students, parents and caregivers information about assessment for the
Higher School Certificate Course.
Some students are already aware of the career path they wish to follow. Many students have not
decided on a career and changing job demands will mean they may have to alter their career
direction while still in training.
The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has recognised these problems and is now giving
students (age 15-19 years or more) the opportunity to complete their HSC over a period of up to 5
years.
2. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
The NESA has the power to award the credential titled “The Higher School Certificate”. To be eligible
for this award, students must comply with the entry requirements, course restrictions and rules and
regulations established by the Board of Studies.
Eligibility requirements for the Higher School Certificate
To be eligible for the HSC, you must:
• Satisfactorily complete Years 9 and 10 or gain other qualifications that satisfy NESA
• Attend a government school, an accredited non-government school, a NESA
recognised school outside NSW or a TAFE college.
• Complete HSC: All My Own Work (or its equivalent) before you submit any work for Preliminary
or HSC courses, unless you are only entered for year 11 and year 12 Life
Skills courses
• Satisfactorily complete courses in the patterns of study detailed below
• Sit for and make a serious attempt at the required HSC exams.
Pattern of study
To qualify for the Higher School Certificate Students must satisfactorily complete a Preliminary
pattern of study comprising at least 12 units and an HSC pattern of study comprising at least 10
units. Both patterns must include:
• at least six units of Board Developed Courses
• at least two units of a Board Developed Course in English
• at least three courses of two-unit value or greater
• at least four subjects.
Accumulation of the Higher School Certificate
Students may accumulate HSC courses towards the Higher School Certificate over a period
of up to five years. Preliminary courses may also be accumulated.
The five-year period is counted from the first year you satisfactorily complete an HSC course. It will
apply regardless of whether you defer your studies for one or more years during the five-year
period. Accumulation of HSC courses cannot extend beyond a five-year period.
The 5year option allows students access to a range of studies and means they can study full time
or part time and deal with other choices, such as sporting careers, travel, working opportunities.
5
This opportunity establishes a number of Pathways each of which offer students access to a more
flexible pattern of study that can result in the award of an HSC.
This booklet explains the requirements for the Year 11 Preliminary Courses. Each student who sits
for the HSC must satisfactorily complete 12 Units of Preliminary Courses.
At the end of this Booklet is a checklist of Preliminary Course Requirements. You should make sure
that you can meet all of these requirements.
3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
If you have a medical condition which is an ongoing disability that will, in a normal examination
situation prevent you from:
(a) Reading and interpreting the examination questions and/or
(b) Communicating knowledge or understanding to an examiner as effectively as a student
without that disability.
You must see your Deputy Principal / Year Advisor / School Counsellor to obtain a form for “Special
Provisions” early Term 1. If this condition occurs later in the year it must be registered with the Deputy
Principal.
School Assessment Policy
4. INTRODUCTION
The Kingsgrove North High School Higher School Certificate Assessment Policy is designed to
standardise procedures between subject areas and to give students and teachers a clear statement
of their rights and responsibilities.
It is the responsibility of the school to communicate the assessment requirements to the students.
It is the responsibility of the students to meet the requirements and to make every effort to resolve
problems and/or disputes.
Please read this policy carefully and make sure you understand it. All students must sign to
acknowledge that they have received this booklet.
What is HSC assessment?
Assessment is the process of gathering information and making judgements about student
achievement for a variety of purposes. In the Preliminary and HSC courses those purposes include:
• assisting student learning
• evaluating and improving teaching and learning programs
• providing evidence of satisfactory achievement and completion of a course
• provide information on student learning and progress in a course in relation to the syllabus
outcomes
• report on the achievement by each student at the end of a course.
It is a requirement Preliminary/HSC school assessment program that for each course the school must
establish a program of assessment tasks. These tasks are conducted throughout the preliminary year
(Year 11) and then in Year 12. Each has a weighting determined by the school with guidelines provided
by the Board of Studies.
6
The preliminary course commences in term 1 to term 3. From term 4 year 11 students will then
commence Year 12 assessment tasks in all subjects. The tasks will determine each student’s assessment
mark which is a measure of each student’s achievements relative to the performance of other students
in the same course at KNHS.
The Higher School Certificate will show two marks for each course: the exam mark and a HSC
moderated assessment mark.
Purpose of HSC Assessment
The purpose of school assessment for HSC students is to provide an indication of student achievement
based on:
• a wider range of syllabus outcomes than may be measured by a single HSC exam; and
• multiple measures of observations made throughout the HSC, giving students credit for what they
have achieved throughout their courses, in addition to their final exam.
Satisfactory Completion of Preliminary and Higher School Certificate courses.
Students are considered to have satisfactorily completed a course, in the Principal’s view, there
sufficient evidence that they have met the following criteria. They must have:
1. followed the course developed by NESA
2. applied themselves with due diligence and sustained effort to the tasks and
experiences provided by the school, and
3. achieved most or all of the course outcomes
indicators of possible failure for students to apply themselves and fulfil course requirements to the
school’s satisfaction include:
• an excessive rate and absences or lateness in a course;
• an excessive rate of absences or lateness to school;
• failure to submit assessment tasks;
• poor achievement caused by lack of application;
• failure to complete classwork and/or homework;
• proven case of copying, plagiarism or cheating.
If at any stage during the course it appears that a student is not meeting the course outcomes, a
NESA pink warning letter will be sent home. The purpose of this letter is:
• to give students a warning in time to correct the area of concern and/or
• to clarify their current status regarding an unsatisfactory designation.
Where it is determined that a student has not satisfactorily completed a course, that student will not
receive any results in that course.
NESA Website
It is recommended that all students access this Website. Students will be able to access syllabuses,
past papers, sample responses and support material for all their courses. NESA website:

5. ASSESSMENT POLICY PROCEDURES – Student responsibilities
Expectations of students
Attendance
Students must attend all classes to satisfactorily complete the HSC course. A minimum of 85%
attendance is generally expected for students to achieve the outcomes of the courses being
studied.
Diligence
It is expected that students prepare for exams and make a serious attempt. Students must work with
sustained effort and due diligence in all aspects of each course.
Syllabus requirements
It is expected that students complete the syllabus, including participation in class, practical work,
oral presentations, homework, assignments and exams.
Sustained application
Students must make a genuine attempt at ALL assessment tasks. Failure to complete less than 50%
of assessment tasks will result immediately in an ‘N’ Determination for that course.
Students who do not comply with assessment requirements will not have a moderated assessment
mark or an Exam mark awarded. (ACE Manual NESA website)
Absence: Notification of assessment tasks
A minimum of two (2) weeks’ notice will be given to students of coming tasks as published in this
handbook. Students who are absent from class on the day that an Assessment Task Notification is
issued, must see the teacher to receive the notification.
Procedures for students when absent from tasks
If a student is absent from school during the time an Assessment Task is to be done, the following
procedures must be followed.
6.1 The student or a responsible adult MUST contact the school by telephone (9502 3933) or fax
(9554 3907) or email or make a personal representation at the school, prior to the time
designated for the start or receipt of the assessment task and notify the Course Coordinator or
Head Teacher responsible for the course, of the student’s inability to be present at that time.
6.2 IMMEDIATELY upon the student’s first return to school, the student MUST present to the Course
Co-ordinator or the Head Teacher responsible for the course, documentation supporting the
legitimacy of the absence.
6.3 In the case of illness, the documentation should be in the form of a Medical Practitioner’s
Certificate which states the exact nature of the illness and the fact that the illness caused the
student to be unfit for the task completion. Medical Certificates should not be back dated.
6.4 In the event of unavoidable but necessary delay, appropriate and acceptable documentary
evidence justifying the extenuating circumstances, must be supplied. (See Rule 7.2 following).
6.5 In the case of immediate illness or misadventure at the time of performing any Assessment task,
it is the responsibility of the student to obtain and complete and Illness/ Misadventure Form
from the Head Teachers/ Deputy Principal. Again, when necessary, these forms must be
accompanied by appropriate and acceptable documentation.
6.6 Medical Certificates will be expected IMMEDIATELY UPON THE STUDENT’S RETURN. Other forms
of documentation would be preferred immediately upon the student’s return, but will be
expected as soon as possible and within what is considered reasonable time. The medical
certificate must be attached to the Misadventure form which can be collected from either the
Deputy Principal’s or Head Teachers.
8
Completion of the missed task
7.1 It is the responsibility of the student immediately upon the first return to school, to contact the
Course Co-ordinator or Head Teacher responsible for the task, in order to establish the time and
location for the completion of the task requirements.
7.2 The student will complete any task or alternative task on the first appropriate occasion after
returning to school. The time and location for the completion of the task will be determined by
the Course Co-ordinator or the Head Teacher responsible for the task. The student will then be
responsible for attending at that time and location in order to complete task requirements.
7.3 The nature, the format or even the need for a replacement or additional task will be the
prerogative of the Course Co-ordinator or even the Principal. This could result in the original task
being replaced with an estimate as occurs with students who enter a course late.
Medical Certificates
Medical certificates will be expected immediately upon the return of the student and attached to
the Illness/Misadventure form. The medical certificate must:
• Be written on a named Doctor’s pad;
• Include the date of the missed tasks;
• Should show the nature of the illness;
• State that the student is “unable to complete the preliminary/HSC assessment Task”. It is the
student’s responsibility to bring this to the attention of the medical practitioner, and
• Show the length of time the student will be unfit for school.
N Award Warning letters
NESA warning letters are issued to students and their parents/caregivers if students are in danger of
not meeting the Course Completion Criteria in any course. The NESA requires the school to issue
official warning letters in order to give the student the opportunity to redeem themselves.
A minimum of two course specific warnings must be issued prior to the final “N” (non-completion)
determination being made for the course.
The Illness/Misadventure process does not cover:
• Students who attend other organised functions, including sporting competitions, does not
constitute cause for missing or postponing an assessment task. If attendance at such events is
deemed necessary, it is the responsibility of the student to inform the Course Co-ordinator before
the commencement of the assessment task and to arrange alternative processes in order to fulfil
assessment requirements.
• Students who have an unauthorised absence (no valid explanation, no documents, etc.)
• Misreading the exam timetable and/or misreading of Exam instructions
Submission of assessment tasks
• All assessment tasks due on a particular day are to be handed in by 8.45am on the due date.
Late tasks will receive ZERO unless stated otherwise on the task notification.
• In class assessments: Any student found to be absent from classes on the day when an in-class
assessment occurs or arriving unduly late but in time for the class assessment will also receive
ZERO marks.
• Any student deemed to have gained an advantage through any means will be referred to the
Course Coordinator/Head Teacher who will consider what award will be given for the task (this
could be zero).
9
• It is the responsibility of the student after an absence, or even during an extended absence, to
determine if any tasks have been notified. Additional time will not be granted except in
extenuating circumstances.
• Assessments are to be handed in, using the requested format by the faculty. The assessment
checklist is to be submitted with the assessment.
• Any student who fails to submit or complete an assessment task will have her/his
parents/guardians notified by letter. Four copies of the letter will be kept. Copies will be
distributed to the: Subject Head Teacher; Supervising Deputy Principal; the individual student’s
records; the student’s parents/ guardians.
If the Illness/Misadventure Application is accepted
The Head Teacher of that course will do one of the following:
• arrange for an extension of time for submission.
• arrange for completion of the same task at a different time.
• arrange for the completion of an alternative task.
• arrange for an estimate (if authorised by the Principal).
If the Illness/Misadventure Application is NOT accepted:
The student will be awarded a zero mark and a NESA warning letter will be sent home to advise the
parents/carers.
Students may appeal against the Head Teacher’s decision by lodging an appeal form with the
Principal within three (3) days of initial determination.
The principal may:
• Reject the appeal and order the zero to stand;
• Grant a limited extension;
• Order that a substitute task be performed;
• Award an estimate.
Procedures relating to Malpractice
All work presented in assessment tasks and external examinations (including submitted works and
practical examinations) must be your own or must be acknowledged appropriately. Malpractice,
including plagiarism, could lead to you receiving zero marks and will jeopardise your HSC results.
Malpractice is any activity that allows you to gain an unfair advantage over other students. It includes,
but is not limited to:
• copying someone else’s work in part or in whole, and presenting it as your own
• using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet without reference to the source
• building on the ideas of another person without reference to the source
• buying, stealing or borrowing another person’s work and presenting it as your own
• submitting work to which another person, such as a parent, coach or subject expert, has
contributed substantially
• using words, ideas, designs or the workmanship of others in practical and performance tasks
without appropriate acknowledgement
• paying someone to write or prepare material
• breaching school examination rules
• using non-approved aids during an assessment task
• contriving false explanations to explain work not handed in by the due date
• assisting another student to engage in malpractice.
10
Rules and Procedures for HSC candidates
Should an assessment task be corrupted through malpractice, the Principal may deem it necessary to
organize a substitute assessment task to ensure equity and fairness.
Malpractice, including plagiarism is cheating and a zero mark will be awarded. It will not be tolerated
at Kingsgrove North High School.
Student behaviour during assessment tasks, including Exams
During assessment tasks students must behave in a way that does not distract other students from their
work during the Task.
Disruption to the Assessment Task in any way will result in parents/guardians being informed of such
attempts by letter.
A Zero will be awarded if any of the following behaviours are witnessed during an Assessment task
including Exams:
• Cheating in any way
• Communicating with another student
• Takes notes or electronic devices such as mobile phones into the room or
• Makes a non-serious attempt.
Teacher absence when assessment is due.
If the class teacher is absent on the day an assessment task is due for submission then the student must
hand the task to the appropriate Head Teacher (or her/his representative if she/he or the class teacher
is absent) and collect a receipt.
If a teacher is absent on the day for which an assessment task is set, the Head Teacher or her/ his
representative will make every endeavour to ensure the task is given. If this is not possible the task will
be postponed until a new date can be determined and set.
Disputes and their resolution
Disputes regarding assessments should be resolved as soon as possible and must be notified to the
Course Co-ordinator within one (1) week of the assessment result being announced. If necessary, the
process for resolution, in order, should be:
• The class teacher concerned.
• The Head Teacher of the subject.
• The Student Adviser.
• The School Assessment Review Panel (for a final decision).
Students may not dispute the type and nature of assessment tasks or the teacher’s professional
judgement relating to the allocation of marks for tasks.
Areas for potential dispute could be:
• Failing to notify that a task is assessable.
• Not including a notified task in the assessment marks.
Student(s) gaining an unfair advantage as a result of cheating, prior knowledge or unauthorised time
extension.
11
Late entry into course – Transfer or Repeats
Students transferring from another school will begin their assessments upon arriving at this school. Any
students involved in exchange programs will also commence their assessment upon their return.
Where a student repeats or transfers from another school during the assessment process, the following
procedure will be used to calculate the student’s assessment mark:
- Total the marks for all tasks completed from the student’s arrival using the weightings in
the Course Assessment Policy.
- Find the new student’s rank from this total.
- Total the marks for the whole assessment program across the Preliminary course excluding the
new student. Rank the rest of the students on this total using the weightings
as documented.
- Assign the student a mark based on the rank calculated in Step 31.2
Review of Assessments
Students will be informed of their results for all tasks but must be aware that most tasks are not
necessarily marked according to the mark value shown in the subject assessment summary
information. For example, a task with an assessment schedule marks value of “10” could be marked
out of “20” marks. Students should be concerned more with their ranking within the school’s subject
group and the relative difference between their own and other students’ assessments rather than with
numerical marks.
It is also possible to have an assessment reviewed if the student believes the school did not follow
procedures similar to those indicated in the published Assessment Program for that subject, or where
clerical errors in the determination of the Assessment Mark have occurred. Any review of an
assessment must be resolved within three (3) weeks of the notification of the assessment result.
Reviews will NOT involve consideration of any teacher’s assessment of the value of a student’s work in
any of the tasks on which assessment has been based.
The Review Panel
The composition of the School Assessment Review Panel will be as follows:
• Principal
• The supervising Deputy Principal
• The Year Advisor
• Two (2) Head Teachers
Five (5) will be available with a minimum of only three (3) to meet and sit on any review.

N Award – Non-Completion of a Year 12 HSC Course – SUBJECT
Dear Mr __ ___ __ & Mrs __ ______
I am writing to advise that your child {student name} is in danger of not meeting the Course Completion
Criteria for the {subject name} Course.
Course Completion Criteria
Where it is determined that a student has not met the Course Completion Criteria, they place themselves
at risk of receiving an “N” (non-completion of course) determination. An ‘N” determination will mean that
the courser will not be listed on the student’s Record of Achievement. It may also mean that the student is
unable to proceed to the HSC course as he/she has not satisfactorily completed the Preliminary Course.
The satisfactory completion of a course requires principals to have sufficient evidence that the student has:
a) Followed the course developed or endorsed by the NESA; and
b) Applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experience provided in the
Course by the School; and
c) Achieved some or all of the outcomes.
The NESA requires schools to issue students with official warnings in order to give them the opportunity to
redeem themselves.
A Total of 1 official warning(s) have been issued concerning {student name}’s participation in {subject
name}.
A minimum of two course specific warnings must be issued prior to a final “N” Determination being made
for a course.
Where it is determined that a student has not met the Course Completion criteria, they place themselves
at risk of receiving an “N: (Non-Completion of course) determination. An “N “determination will mean that
the course will not be listed on {student name}’s Record of Achievement. It may also mean that {student
name} is unable to Quality for the HSC as he/she has not satisfactorily completed the Preliminary Course.
Please discuss the matter with {student name} and contact the school if further information or clarification
is needed.
Yours sincerely

Vocational Education and Training (VET)
The VET Curriculum frameworks are based on Industry training packages. The courses from these frameworks are NESA Developed and provided
students study the 240 hour course and undertake optional written HSC examination, they may contribute to the ATAR. They are all Category B
subjects
Assessment
Assessment for the Higher School Certificate VET Courses within Industry Curriculum Frameworks has two distinct purposes:
1. Assessment for Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) VET qualifications – competency based assessment.
2. Assessment for the NESA Higher School Certificate that may include the optional HSC examination for the Australian Tertiary Admission Rate
(ATAR).
AQF Certification
VET Courses are competency based. This means that students work to develop the competencies, skills and knowledge described in each Unit of
Competency. To be assessed as competent a student must demonstrate to a qualified assessor that they can effectively carry out the various tasks
and combinations of tasks listed to the standard required in the appropriate industry. There is no mark awarded in competency based assessment.
Students are assessed as either “competent’ or ‘not yet competent’ in individual Units of Competency. Competency based assessment determines
the vocational qualification that a student will receive.
VET COURSES ARE ASSESSED AS A CLUSTER TASK OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
NESA REQUIREMENTS
Students undertaking a VET course must meet the requirements of the NESA for the award of the Higher School Certificate along with the requirements
of the AQF for the award of a certificate or statement of attainment.
The NESA has mandated work placement as a requirement of the HSC. Students must achieve the hours of work placement required for the course
undertaken. They are required to complete a minimum of 35 hours of mandatory work placement for each 2 Units of a VET curriculum framework
course studies. For a 240 hour course (2yrs x2units) this would equate to 70 hours work placement.
The rules and processes related to an ‘N’ award for a NESA Developed Course and a NESA Endorsed Course are applicable to students undertaking
a VET course. More information can be found in the Assessment, Certification and Examination (ACE) manual.

ULTIMO RTO 90072 VET COURSE ASSESSMENT SCHEDULES
Preliminary 2020 – HSC 2021 Vocational Education and Training (VET) Courses
Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are offered as part of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or Record of School Achievement (RoSA). VET
courses are designed to deliver workplace-specific skills and knowledge and cover a wide range of careers and industries. VET courses for secondary
students are developed by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and are based on national training packages.
VET courses allow students to gain both HSC or RoSA qualifications and a qualification recognised throughout Australian as part of the Australian
Qualification Framework (AQF). These qualifications are widely recognised by industry, employers and tertiary training providers e.g. TAFENSW and
Universities and will assist students to move easily between various education and training sectors and employment.
Public Schools NSW, Ultimo operates as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 90072) to deliver and assess VET qualifications to secondary students.
It is mandatory for all students studying a VET course to create a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Students will require a form of identification, such as a
Medicare Card, Birth Certificate, Driver’s License or a valid passport for the creation of the USI.
Board Developed VET courses are classified as Category B subjects and ONLY ONE may contribute to the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission
Rank (ATAR). These courses have an optional HSC examination. Students wishing to include a VET course in the ATAR calculation must sit the HSC
examination.
Board Developed VET courses have specified workplace requirements and include industry specific mandatory work placement (35 hours per 120 hours
of delivery) or occasionally simulated workplace hours at school.
Board Endorsed VET courses do count towards the HSC or RoSA but do not have HSC examinations therefore do not count in the calculation of the ATAR.
Board Endorsed VET Courses have either mandatory or recommended industry specific work placement.
Assessment in all VET courses is competency based. The student is assessed on what they can do (the skills) and what they know (the knowledge) that
will equip them in the workplace. Students who have successfully achieved competency will have the skills and knowledge they need to complete
workplace activities in a range of different situations and environments, to an industry standard of performance that is expected in the workplace.
Competency-based training is based on performance standards that have been set by industry. Competency-based assessment materials are designed
to determine if each learner has achieved all the outcomes (skills and knowledge). Students will receive documentation showing the competencies
achieved for the VET course undertaken. Students in VET courses must be able to demonstrate competence regardless of disability. The principles of HSC:
All My Own Work apply to all Stage 6 VET courses, including early commencement in Stage 5.
If the student has already completed part of the course elsewhere, or have previous life or work experience in the relevant industry, he or she may be
eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for part of the course, or for 35 Hours work placement in the HSC course. The student does not have to
repeat the training or assessment but must produce evidence of competence (which may be demonstrated during a skills and knowledge assessment).
The VET committee consisting of the VET teacher, VET Coordinator and a member of the senior executive will determine if the student is eligible.
90
If a student has completed a unit of competency with another RTO and the student can supply evidence of the same or an equivalent competency,
credit transfer is awarded (common examples include a white card course, first aid certificate or a barista course).
Due to the specific requirements of a VET course it is recommended students speak to the VET Coordinator or Careers Adviser before choosing the course
to ensure they are fully aware of the requirements.
Use the following table as a guide to the appropriate outcome to record for each student:
NESA Outcome NCVER Outcome Explanation
(source: AVETMISS Data Elements definitions, Edition 2.2 April 2013)
Achieved Competency
achieved / pass
Student has been assessed and satisfies all the requirements for the unit of competency
Not Achieved Competency not
achieved / fail
Student has attempted all requirements for the assessment and has been assessed as not
competent in one or more of the requirements of the competency
Continuing Continuing enrolment The student has engaged in learning activity, but has not completed all the training and
assessment criteria by the end of the collection period
Withdrawn Withdrawn /
discontinued
(a) The student has engaged in some learning activity, then notified the RTO of their
withdrawal before completing all of the assessment criteria
(b) The student has engaged in some learning activity then stopped attending or submitting
assessments without notifying the RTO
RPL Recognition of Prior
Learning Granted
The student has been assessed and RPL has been granted
Credit Transfer Credit transfer /
National Recognition
The student can supply evidence of the same or an equivalent competency, and credit
transfer is awarded. This is used where there is no delivery of training or assessment of the
student’s knowledge.

THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EDUCATION ACT 1990 IN RELATION TO THE NEW
SOUTH WALES HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
Higher School Certificate - section 95
Higher school Certificates are granted by the NESA to students who:
Have been granted a school certificate, or who have attained such other qualifications as the NESA considers satisfactory; and
Have attended a government school, or registered non-government school too which a current certificate of accreditation applies, or school
outside New South Wales recognised by the NESA, or a TAFE establishment within the meaning of the Technical and Further Education Commission
Act 1990; and

undertaken by candidates for the Higher School Certificate; and
Have been accepted by the NESA as having satisfactorily completed those courses of study; and
Have, to the NESA’s satisfaction, undertaken the requisite examinations or other forms of assessment; and
Have complied with any requirements prescribed by the regulations or any requirements imposed by the Minister or the NESA.
The NESA may refuse to grant a Higher School Certificate to a student whose attendance or application at school has been of unsatisfactory
character that the grant of the certificate would not, in the opinion of the NESA, be justified.
Curriculum for Higher School Certificate candidates – section 12
The curriculum during Year 11 and year 12 for students who are candidates for the Higher School Certificate must meet the following
requirements:
Courses of study of a general description determined by the Minister on the recommendation of the NESA are to be provided for each
student in each Year,
Those courses of study are to include a course of study in English
Those courses of study are to comply with a pattern of study determined by the Minister on the recommendation of the NESA
Those courses of study are to be taught in accordance with a syllabus developed or endorsed by the NESA and approved by the Minister.

Schools should note that additional Departmental curriculum requirements (e.g. sport,
religious education, 25 hours of PDHPE etc) or conditions of enrolment at individual schools
are not requirements for Higher School Certificate credentialing as determined by the NESA
of Studies as the statutory Higher School Certificate credentialing authority.
Schools will need to ensure that NESA requirements are met in cases of accumulation,
acceleration, repeating, recognition of prior learning and in any cases on non-completion
of course requirements. [Please refer to ACE Manual, Dec. 2005, Section 8 for details.]
Students with special education needs can meet the requirements for the award of the
Higher School Certificate by undertaking a combination of NESA Developed Courses, NESA
Endorsed Courses and /or Stage 6 Life Skills Courses. Principals will be required to certify on
the Preliminary and HSC entry forms that enrolment of a student in any Life Skills Course for
Stage 6 is the result of a planning process that addresses the student’s transition from
school to adult life. [Please refer to the ACE Manual, Dec. 2005, Section 7, p. 73-77]
