HSC Subject Selection Guide

Year 11 - 2020

Year 12 - 2021

All courses offered for the Higher School Certificate have a unit value. Subjects may have a value of 1 unit (extension courses) or 2 units (Most courses).

Each unit involves class time of approximately 2 hours per week (60 hours per year). In the HSC, each unit has a value of 50 marks. Therefore, a 2 unit course has a value of 100 marks.

2 units = 4 hours per week (approximately 120 hours per year) = 100 marks

If you wish to be awarded the HSC:

1. You must study a minimum of 12 units in the Year 11 course and a minimum of 10 units in the Year 12 course. Both the Year 11 course and the Year 12 course must include the following:

a. at least 6 units from Board Developed Courses including at least

2 units of a Board Developed Course in English b. at least three courses of 2 units value or greater

c. at least four subjects d. at most 6 units of courses in Science can contribute to Higher

School Certificate eligibility

2. You must complete any practical, oral or project work required for specific courses and the assessment requirements for each course

3. You must have sat for and made a serious attempt in all course assessment tasks

4. Work placement is a mandatory requirement for some courses.

There are different types of courses that can be selected in Years 11 and 12.

Board Developed Courses - Category A or B

The Board of Studies develops these courses. For each course the following information is available

the course objectives, structure, contents and outcomes specific course requirements assessment requirements the performance scale (except for Vocational Education and Training Courses).

All students entered in the state for the HSC who are studying Board Developed Courses (BDC) follow these syllabuses. These courses are examined externally at the end of the Year 12 course and can count towards the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). However, only one Category B subject can be counted towards your 10 ‘best’ HSC units that are used to calculate your ATAR.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF THE HSC

WHAT TYPES OF COURSES CAN BE SELECTED

Board Endorsed Courses

There are two types of Board Endorsed Courses - Content Endorsed Courses and School Designed Courses.

1. Content Endorsed Courses (CEC) have syllabuses endorsed by the Board of Studies

to cater for areas of special interest not covered in the Board Developed Courses.

2. Schools may also design courses to meet student needs. The Board of Studies must approve these courses. Once approval is granted, schools offer selected courses to senior students as part of the Higher School Certificate.

There is no external examination for any Content Endorsed Course or School Designed Course, but all Board Endorsed Courses count towards the Higher School Certificate and appear on the Record of Achievement. Board Endorsed Courses do not count in the calculation of the ATAR.

ATAR RULES The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is the primary criterion for entry into most undergraduate-entry university programs in Australia.

The ATAR will be based on the best ten units in Board Developed Year 12 courses, subject to the following restrictions:

a) at least two units of Board Developed English must be included. b) at most two units of Category B subjects may be included.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) Courses - either Board Developed or Board Endorsed

Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are offered as part of the Higher School Certificate. They enable students to study courses, which are relevant to industry needs and have clear links to post-school destinations. These courses allow students to gain both Higher School Certificate qualifications and accreditation with industry and the workplace as part of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The national framework is recognised across Australia and helps students to move easily between the various education and training sectors and employment. Some of these courses have a specific workplace component and a minimum number of hours students spend in the workplace or a simulated workplace at school. Students receive special documentation showing the competencies gained. Some of these courses will be delivered by schools, while others will be delivered by TAFE or other providers.

SCHOOL BASED APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS - SBATS

School based apprenticeships and traineeships provide students with the opportunity to attain a nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification as well as their Higher School Certificate (HSC) and gain valuable work skills and experience through paid employment.

2 units for each of Year 11 and Year 12 course Excursions: Parliament/Court Visits


Cost: Nil

Course Description: The law affects almost everything you do. When you drive a car, buy a new computer, rent a house, get hurt at work, marry, travel overseas, even when you die. Of course the law is usually in the background. After all, it is not every day that you marry or have a car crash, however its worth knowing something about how the law works. If you get into trouble with police you should have some idea of what is illegal, what the police can do to you and what the judge will do if you end up in court.

This course develops students’ knowledge and understanding of:

How disputes are adjudicated, laws are made and conflicts resolved in legal institutions such as the courts, parliament and United Nations.

The role of the legal system in promoting a just and fair society.

The need for law reform due to changes in society like technology, social values and globalisation.

Course: Modern History 2020

2 units for each of Year 11 and Year 12 course Excursion: Sydney Jewish Museum


Cost: Nil

Course Description: The study of history is an inquiry into past human experience that helps make the present more intelligible. The study of history allows students to perceive the world in a variety of ways as they develop powers of deduction and reasoning and learn to make sense of an increasingly complex global society. The study of Modern History Stage 6 has a distinctive role in the school curriculum as it challenges students to consider the great social, technological, economic, political and moral transformations from the late eighteenth century to the present. It requires students to analyse the causes, progress and effects of these transformations and, finally, to make judgements about them. Modern History Stage 6 is especially relevant to the lives of students, as the events and issues that form its content are in many cases still current. The study of Modern History Stage 6 also contributes to the development of skills that are of great importance in today’s workforce. The fluent communication of thoughts and ideas gleaned from the critical analysis of primary and secondary sources is a sought after skill. The ability to deconstruct texts and narratives, pose intelligent questions, test hypotheses and make critical use of information technologies is essential to living and working in the twenty-first century. The Year 11 course is structured to provide students with opportunities to investigate key features, individuals, groups, events, concepts and historiographical issues in a range of historical contexts as background for their HSC studies. In Year 12 students focus on Power and Authority in the Modern World, Conflict in Europe, China and the granting of civil rights in the USA. The HSC Course is designed for students to investigate national and international forces for change and continuity in the twentieth century. Main Topics Covered:

Assessment and course completion Competency-based assessment Students in this course work to develop the competencies, skills and knowledge described by each unit of competency. To be assessed as competent a student must demonstrate that they can effectively carry out tasks to industry standard. Students will be progressively assessed as ‘competent’ or ‘not yet competent’ in individual units of competency. Students may apply for Recognition of Prior Learning provided suitable evidence of competency is submitted. Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Our RTO acknowledges the experience and prior learning of our students. Students who are able to present transcripts from other Australian RTOs or who are able to present relevant experiences in work may qualify for Credit Transfer (CT) or Recognition of Prior Learning. All applications for CT or RPL should be made to the course teacher. Mandatory Work Placement Students undertaking this course are required to complete work placement to minimum hours as specified below. Work placement involves the student completing real work experiences in industry settings. In some courses, in-school events may contribute to mandatory work placement hours. Where this is possible, students will be fully informed upon enrolment.




Some Specialisation Courses may require additional work placement Optional HSC examination Students completing this course are eligible to sit an optional, written HSC examination. The purpose of the examination is to provide a mark which may be used in the calculation of the ATAR. The examination is independent of the competency-based assessment undertaken during the course and has no impact on the eligibility to receive an AQF VET qualification. Specialisation studies Students may be offered the opportunity to undertake additional units of competency and credit towards their qualifications via Specialisation Studies. Information will be made available to students where appropriate. N Determinations Where a student has not met NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) course completion criteria, (including meeting work placement requirements), they may receive an ‘N’ award warning (course not satisfactorily completed). Students issued with an ‘N’ award warning will be issued with a rectification which must be completed. Students who receive more than 2 N awards may be at risk of not completing NESA requirements and may not be awarded the appropriate units of credit towards their HSC. Any unit/s of competency achieved will be awarded as part of the VET qualification. Appeals Students may lodge appeals against assessment decisions or ‘N’ determinations through their school.
