The Board's Stage 6 syllabuses describe the Preliminary and HSC courses to be taught within each subject that may be undertaken as part of the HSC pattern of study. All schools are required to deliver programs of study that comply with the requirements of Board syllabuses, including coverage of all the essential content of the Board's syllabuses, including coverage of all the essential content of the Board's syllabuses.

Schools have discretion to offer courses beyond the Board’s curriculum. If individual schools choose to teach material not approved or endorsed by the Board, it must be made clear to students that this material is additional to and not part of the relevant Board syllabus and will not be tested in any public examination conducted by the Board. Students should understand that such material, therefore, would not be considered relevant in any response they write for Higher School Certificate examinations. Such material is not to be set as part of school-based assessment of Board syllabuses that contributes to the Higher School Certificate assessment.

The teaching of any religious, ideological or philosophical beliefs that are not in conflict with these constraints and are not otherwise contrary to the requirements of the Education Act is a matter for the school and the school community. Contact: KLA Inspector Ph: +61 2 9367 8111
