HSC Syllabuses
The majority of syllabuses and related examination and assessment materials for the 2010 HSC have now been added to this site.
The syllabus pages have been redesigned into a new 2 column layout for 2009 and 2010 to help teachers easily identify the mostly minor changes to the 2010 HSC examinations and assessment. As assessment and reporting requirements are now being published as a separate document, it has been necessary to remove this information from all existing HSC syllabuses and to republish these syllabuses. There has been no change to the content of syllabuses for 2010 unless otherwise indicated.
