　　Mandatory Courses in Years 7-10 (PDF 245KB) are studied by all students in NSW public schools and are set by the Board of Studies.

　　Students choose from a range of elective courses that we offer depending on teacher expertise and the number of students interested in that subject. Information on elective courses is available in the Board of Studies syllabus course descriptions (PDF 163 KB).

　　Students must meet the subject requirements in Years 7-10 to qualify for the School Certificate in Year 10.

　　In Years 11 and 12 students study for the Higher School Certificate (HSC).

　　HSC courses

　　There are two types of courses students can study:

　　Board developed courses

　　These courses are set and externally examined by the Board of Studies, and may contribute to the calculation of a Universities Admission Index (UAI).

　　These include courses in English, mathematics, science, technology, creative arts, personal development, health and physical education, human society and its environment, languages and Vocational Education and Training (VET) curriculum frameworks.

　　Read a list of the subjects available and a description of each course on the Board of Studies website.

　　Board endorsed courses

　　These courses are developed by schools, TAFE institutes or universities. They count towards the HSC but do not count towards the calculation of an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR).

　　Vocational education and training courses

　　Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are either Board developed courses, which may contribute to the calculation of an ATAR, or Board endorsed courses.

　　VET courses give students work-related skills in a variety of industry areas. Students will receive a nationally recognised qualification when they complete their course.

　　Some VET courses are studied at school while others can be studied at TAFE institutes and other training providers. Many VET courses involve work placement.

　　Board developed VET courses are available in a number of industry curriculum frameworks, such as hospitality and information technology.
