Overall there has been a significant change to all courses and a huge amount of time will be
needed for teachers to engage with the new syllabus and plan teaching and learning experiences
for their students. Greater collaboration between teachers across all courses will be needed due
to common assessment components. Professional learning for teachers will be required on both
new content and creating assignment or investigation-style task.

LITERACY AND NUMERACY
NSW Literacy and Numeracy Strategy 2017-2020
Impacts Year 9 2017 and beyond
The standard has been mapped against Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF)
At risk students will be identified early and supported to achieve the standard
Year 9 NAPLAN Band 8 or above in reading, writing & numeracy
13 February 2017© NSW Department of Education | Document title Page 13
LITERACY AND NUMERACY
If student’s achieve the standard during NAPLAN Year 9 they will not need to resit
Online Tests – Year 10 / Year 11 / Year 12 (can complete up to 5 years after first commencing the HSC)
Not competent by Year 10 requires prescribed Maths and English until achieve competence.
Year 12 RoSA if literacy / numeracy standard is not achieved
Demonstration tests – NESA website

ASSESSMENT
Introduced across all courses for Prelim 2018 & HSC 2019
Year 11 - capped at 3 tasks per course
Year 12 - maximum of 4 school based assessments per course inclusive of the Trial HSC
Separate components will count as separate tasks further advice will be released throughout 2017
Reduction in formulaic, pre-prepared responses and cheating
Stricter guidelines to assure authorship of take home assessment and projects
13 February 2017© NSW Department of Education | Document title Page 15
HSC QUESTIONS
Final HSC examinations to continue.
HSC examination will continue to form 50% of student final HSC marks
Questions will be less predictable, requiring greater application of knowledge and skills
Aim to avoid the opportunity for memorising pre prepared essays etc
Mathematics will be assessed on a common scale – to compare students across courses. This will act as a disincentive for students to choose easier courses.
