(Acting) Deputy Principal, Teaching & Learning, Ms Lynsey Porter
From 2020, students in NSW will need to meet a minimum standard of literacy and numeracy to receive the Higher School Certificate.
Students will have a number of opportunities to meet the HSC minimum standard from Year 10 until a few years after completing their Higher School Certificate.
Students will demonstrate they have achieved the minimum standards by completing three online tests. These online tests are 45-minutes long each, and may include:
- a multiple choice test for reading;
- a multiple choice test for numeracy;
- a test for writing based on a written or visual prompt.
For students who did not sit the tests in the first opportunity earlier this year, there will be a re-sit towards the Yearly Examination period.
A separate communication will be sent to students, however students must bring a fully-charged laptop and a pen to the testing.
