HSC Maths exam papers are published on the NESA website
The HSC Maths exam papers have just been published on the NESA website and can be found here (with the exception of Extension 1 of course). I will be working my way through them this afternoon.
As mentioned previously, schools and teachers have been directed to send their feedback to hscfeedback@nesa.nsw.edu.au, but if any of you would like to provide feedback directly to me or have a conversation, please feel free to give me call or email.
Stage 5 SDBEC courses
Stage 5 SDBEC courses
The following was published in Monday's NESA bulletin but being aware of how chaotic schools are at the moment, wanted to bring it to your attention.
As you would be aware the endorsed status of some of the Stage 5 SDBEC courses comes to an end at the completion of 2021, every other course will finish at the end of 2022. The courses are still able to run, but will not appear on students' Record of School Achievement (RoSA).
Year 9 students who are studying these courses in 2021 that end their endorsement period in 2021 are able to have the 100-hours studied added to the RoSA whether they are continuing on with the subject at school or not. These grades need to be included on Schools Online with the Year 10 RoSA grades and these close on 26 November.
My understanding is that this may apply to:
iSTEM
Bush Craft
Catholic Studies
Any questions, please let me know.
Kind Regards

HSC Results and 2022 HSC Training (Ref: 314/21)
HSC Results and 2022 HSC Training (Ref: 314/21)
The release of HSC results on January 24 next year means that the CSNSW HSC Results Analysis will not be available when schools return. Processing the data usually takes 3-4 weeks and at this stage plans are to upload the reports on or before Friday 28th February.
Next year the intention is to offer an expanded range of support services including:
targeted briefings immediately after the release of the HSC results,
CSNSW HSC Analysis (DeCourcy) training,
NESA delivered Assessment and Results Analysis Package (RAP) training targeted at specific audiences,
bespoke support for diocesan offices and RI/MPJP schools.
We are keen to hear from you about the HSC analysis training made available each year. To this end we will be issuing a survey to past participants, and we look forward to your feedback.
