Numeracy Content Endorsed Course

The Numeracy Content Endorsed Course (CEC) is a 2 unit course focused on the development and consolidation of core numeracy skills.

These skills are developed through authentic and relevant learning scenarios such as budgeting, shopping, record and account keeping, and a range of real-life activities requiring numeracy.

The course is aligned to the Australian Core Skills Framework Level 3, a nationally agreed level of functional numeracy.

It is appropriate for students who need further opportunities to develop essential numeracy skills required for everyday life, including work, learning, community engagement and personal contexts.

The course can count towards the Higher School Certificate and appear on the student's Record of School Achievement (RoSA). Where students request a RoSA, the Numeracy course will be listed with their other Stage 6 courses.

There is no HSC examination for the Numeracy course. Assessment in this course will be school-based. Teachers award a grade in Year 11 using the Common Grade Scale and an assessment grade in Year 12 using the Achievement Level Descriptions for reporting achievement.

The results from the Numeracy Course are not eligible for inclusion in the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR).
