HSC 2020 Key Decisions

NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) announced key decisions today on HSC 2020 to protect the health and safety of students, teachers and parents during this challenging time.

Effective immediately, NESA has agreed to:

• Give Principals and system authorities the power to determine the number, type and weighting of tasks for Year 11 school based assessment, in line with the decision communicated last week for HSC students
• Lift the requirement for VET students to undertake NESA work placements
• Cancel mandatory group performance exam in Drama and the mandatory ensemble performance exam in Music Extension
• Modify other performance exams that breach social distancing requirements.

The Committee will meet next week to provide advice on major projects for Visual Arts, Design and Technology, Industrial Technology, Textiles and Design, English Ext 2 and Society and Culture.
