1997 Higher School Certificate Statistics and Story Leads
The Higher School Certificate: Meeting the needs of students
This year an estimated 63 038 * students around the world will sit for the New South Wales Higher School Certificate examinations. The first HSC examination took place in 1967 and since then more than one million people have been awarded this internationally recognised credential.
Over the years there have been many changes to the HSC. A student in the first HSC would not have recognised such terms as `assessment tasks', `scaling', `accumulation' and `acceleration' -- terms that are familiar to today's HSC candidature.
The HSC has changed and developed to meet the needs of a rapidly growing and diverse candidature. Today's HSC offers 74** subjects organised into 164 courses. It was the HSC of 1975 that introduced courses differentiated by `units' and 1975 also saw the introduction of school-designed courses.
Since 1990 several new subjects have been introduced. Legal Studies and Computing Studies were introduced in 1990. Provisions for good quality vocational and technological courses were also made in 1990. In 1991 Personal Development, Health and Physical Education was introduced as a Key Learning Area.
The introduction of the Pathways program in 1993 enabled students to take a more flexible approach to their HSC studies, giving Year 12 students up to five years to complete their HSC courses. (See page 15.)
The 1994 HSC introduced the Design and Technology course, broadening the school approach to technology education and allowing students to submit a Major Design Project as part of their assessment.
Distinction Courses -- high-level courses offered through universities by distance education -- were introduced in 1994. Three courses are available: Comparative Literature, Cosmology and Philosophy.
Given the flexibility and diversity of the current HSC it is not surprising that in the mid-1990s 70 per cent of school students chose to stay on at school until Year 12.
* Please note: All statistics in this guide refer to the enrolled
candidature of 13 September 1997.
** Each Science course is treated as a separate subject; all three Distinction Courses are treated as one subject.
Languages and the Higher School Certificate
Students can now choose from the 37 languages on offer in the 1997 HSC.
Many of these languages are studied through the Saturday School of Community Languages or the Open High School run by the Department of School Education.
Japanese is the most popular language, although languages that have been popular in the past, such as French, German and Italian, continue to have appeal. The most recent languages introduced to the HSC are Hindi, Persian and Portuguese.
Eighteen years ago there were only 56 students studying Japanese in New South Wales: this year there are just under 2000 students studying the language.
Twenty-six languages are covered by a national syllabus under
the National Assessment Framework for Languages at Senior Secondary
Level (NAFLaSSL). All are developed according to a common structure
emphasising the ability to communicate in varied contexts, flexibility
to accommodate all students in all areas of Australia, and emphasis
on cultural awareness.

Special provisions for students
-
Four students sitting the HSC this year will have specially produced braille examination papers. The papers are an equivalent transcription of the standard examinations papers -- including diagrams that are ingeniously formed by using dry spaghetti to make the raised lines and angles needed.
-
Approximately 50 students sitting this year's HSC will have examination papers that are printed in colours different from the standard papers. These papers have been specially designed to enable students to read the examination questions easily, as some students find it problematic to read text printed on paper of a certain colour.
-
There will be approximately 380 large-print examination papers produced for students. The papers' type size ranges from 18pt to 36pt and most of them are printed on A3-sized paper.
-
Approximately 17 hearing impaired or deaf students sitting the listening paper examination in Contemporary English -- which is aimed at testing student comprehension -- will watch an AUSLAN, signed English or subtitled video instead of the usual audio tape.
Technology and teachers helping Higher School Certificate students
The HSC Advice Line
The HSC Advice Line opened in October 1995 to offer HSC students
last-minute advice and information from highly qualified teachers,
prior to the examinations.
In its first year of operation 23 849 students called the HSC Advice
Line. Last year 35 230 students called -- an average of 57.6 calls
for every 100 students taking the HSC Examinations.
The Advice Line is designed to give support and advice to students
at times when students cannot access their own teachers -- on weekends
and after school hours throughout the examination period. It opens
on 13 October 1997, two weeks before the examinations begin.
No matter where a student is calling from in New South Wales, the
cost is that of a local call.
The phone-in service is staffed by 680 teachers who are chosen on
the basis of their experience and expertise in their subject areas.
The service will offer advice for the following large candidature subjects:
The Advice Line will operate up until, and including, the night prior to the final examinations in each of the above subjects.
There was very positive feedback from students who used the Advice Line last year. This year the Advice Line will operate from Monday 13 October until Thursday 20 November.
The hours of operation will be Monday to Friday 4 pm-10 pm, Saturday 10 am-6 pm and Sunday 10 am-10 pm. The Advice Line telephone number is 13 11 12.
Students with hearing difficulties
Students with hearing difficulties have access to the HSC Advice Line through a teletypewriter facility. Students wishing to use this facility are encouraged to make initial contact with the Advice Line operators through family and friends.
The Internet
Since the Board of Studies launched its website on the Internet in September 1995 the site has had more than 150 000 hits per month. With more and more schools accessing the Internet, students and teachers can now link up to the Board's site to find out important information relating to syllabuses, the School Certificate, the Higher School Certificate and Board publications.
For students doing the Higher School Certificate, this means they will be able to access a calendar of important events leading up to the examinations, as well as the Higher School Certificate examination timetable.
Students and teachers will also be able to access Board of Studies publications such as Board Bulletin, which offers important news and updates about Board requirements; On Board, a magazine for students in Years 10, 11, and 12 that is written and designed by students in Years 10, 11 and 12; and `Primary Matters', a monthly column for K-6 teachers; plus past HSC examination papers and HSC examination reports.
The site offers a sample of Board products, including access to extracts from some of the educational CD-ROMs produced by the Board of Studies. The Board's site also features students' artworks from ARTEXPRESS (selected works from each year's Visual Arts HSC) in a virtual art gallery exhibition.
The Board of Studies updates its site weekly, adding new announcements, syllabuses and support documents and other useful information.
A list of links to schools throughout Australia is maintained, as are lists of links to subject-related websites across the world.
Planned developments for the site include a Parents' Page and a new section that will contain regular updates on the New South Wales Government's HSC White Paper.
The website address is http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au
1995/96 HSC Examination CD-ROM
In January 1997 the Board of Studies published the 1995/96 Higher School Certificate examination papers and selected examination reports on CD-ROM.
Schools were provided with all the HSC examination papers on CD-ROM using Adobe Acrobat software.
Acrobat allows access across Macintosh and Windows computers and is provided to schools at no charge. This initiative was first developed in 1996 in response to schools' requests to provide past papers early in the new year.
Schools have responded very positively to the HSC examination CD-ROM and as a result the 1997 examination papers will also be provided on CD-ROM.
Whats new in 97
Release of the 1997 HSC results by telephone
This year, for the first time, New South Wales students will be able to access their 1997 HSC results four days earlier than usual, by using an automated telephone service.
From Friday, 2 January 1998 until the end of January 1998, students can key in their student number and Personal Identification Number (PIN) and get their results by recorded message. The students' PINs will be sent to them in mid-November in a letter from the Board of Studies.
The service will run 24 hours a day and it is estimated that each call will take approximately two minutes, although students will have the option of having their results repeated.
Students will still receive their results by mail, through Australia Post, on Tuesday, 6 January 1998.
The Board of Studies decided to set up the phone service to give students as much time as possible to make decisions concerning tertiary studies and employment choices.
The Board will also run an Inquiry Centre to support the new phone service. The centre will run from Friday, 2 January 1998.
The New South Wales Governments HSC White Paper
The New South Wales Government's HSC White Paper, Securing Their Future, was released in August 1997.
Securing Their Future is the result of the most comprehensive, open and consultative review of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) in its 30-year history. It reflects the overriding themes of the McGaw Review which preceded it, emphasising the need to achieve greater equity and to challenge students to achieve their best.
The White Paper builds on the best features of the current HSC and its reforms are designed to enhance the HSC's intellectual rigour, fairness and relevance to the needs, interests and abilities of all senior secondary school students.
Schools and education professionals will continue to be consulted about the implementation process.
The White Paper will also effect changes to the School Certificate, beginning next year.
Key Reforms to the School Certificate
The White Paper announced the introduction of statewide curriculum-based tests for Year 10 students in four areas: English literacy; Mathematics; Australian History, Australian Geography and Civics; and Science. Reference Tests will be replaced by these external tests and students will receive their own marks.
Testing of English literacy and Mathematics will commence for Year 10 students in November 1998, together with trial tests in the other two areas.
Key Reforms to the Higher School Certificate
HSC reforms will be fully implemented for the students who graduate at the end of 2001 -- the current Year 8 students. Years 9, 10, 11 and 12 students will continue the current HSC program. The only change that directly affects this year's candidates is in the change to the method of reporting a student's TER. (See page 37 for more information on this topic.)
From 1998 the TER will be known as the Universities Admissions Index.
In 2001 the changes listed below will be implemented.
Improving the curriculum -- By 2001 strict new criteria will be applied to existing and proposed new syllabuses. In principle, a 2 unit structure for all HSC subjects will be adopted. Students will be required to complete at least 12 units of Preliminary courses in Year 11 and 10 units of HSC examination courses in Year 12 . Six of the ten units in Year 12 must be Board Developed units.
Strengthening English -- English will be the only compulsory subject and students will be able to take 4 units of English for the first time. There will be a 2 Unit standard, 2 Unit advanced and a 2 Unit Literature course. A new English as a Second Language course will be introduced for students recently arrived in Australia. A course, Fundamentals of English, will be introduced for students needing additional help with English literacy -- taken with and complementing the Preliminary standard English course.
Vocational Studies -- the quality and status of vocational courses is to be enhanced to ensure students have the skills and knowledge recognised by employers.
Reporting Student Achievements -- All subjects will be reported in a way that will make results clearer and where there are two courses in a subject reporting will be on a single scale to reward capable students for successfully completing advanced study. All Year 12 graduates will receive a comprehensive portfolio documenting what they know, understand and can do in each subject.
Copies of Securing Their Future are available from the Department of Training and Education Coordination (DTEC) on(02) 9561 8192.
Securing Their Future is also available on the DTEC website at http://www.dtec.nsw.gov.au
Release of Tertiary Entrance Rank information to the media
On 6 January 1998 the Board of Studies will provide the media with a list of the top 1% of students in each course, where students scored over 90.
There will be no release of the Tertiary Entrance Ranks of the top regional students this year, as the Board of Studies no longer has access to TER information from the Universities Admissions Centre. As recommended in the White Paper, Securing Their Future, individual results will be treated as confidential and will not be provided to parties other than the Universities Admissions Centre and the universities to which the student has applied.
HSC On-line launched
The exciting new website HSC On-line was launched in July 1997. This initiative is designed to help students who are sitting for their HSC by giving them access to a wealth of HSC resources and support, no matter where they live in New South Wales.
The New South Wales Minister for Education and Training, John Aquilina MP commented: `Through this initiative students studying at one of the most remote high schools, in the heart of Sydney or at home, will have access to the most extensive resource of information and assistance ever brought together in one place.'
HSC On-line's materials have been developed by highly experienced HSC teachers and examiners and many of the site's resources have been drawn from the best available world-wide resources.
The site includes a newsgroup to enable students to exchange ideas and practices as well as information about career and further study options. It also has links to school websites in New South Wales and around Australia.
The following subjects are covered by the site: Aboriginal Studies, Agriculture, Ancient History, Computing Studies, Cosmology, Drama, English, Geography, Japanese, Mathematics, Modern History.
Biology, Business Studies, Design and Technology, French, Music, PDHPE, Studies for Religion and Visual Arts will be covered by the site in the near future.
Mr Aquilina said, `It is a boon for students. It will provide them with the resources and support to secure better learning and improved HSC results.'
The HSC On-line project is a joint venture between the Department of School Education and Charles Sturt University. It is supported by the Board of Studies NSW and the Joint Council of Professional Teachers Associations and is sponsored by Access Australia.

New marking centres
This year, new marking centres will operate in Lismore for General English 2 Unit (Reading) and Bathurst for Contemporary English 2 Unit (Listening).
Wagga, Newcastle and Wollongong will have marking centres again this year. At Wagga the Reading question from English 2/3 Unit will be marked along with the Projects from Agriculture 3 Unit. The Newcastle centre markers will mark General English 2 Unit (Topic Areas), Biology, Engineering Science, Mathematics and Business Studies, and the Wollongong centre will mark Reading and Writing from Contemporary English 2 Unit as well as General Science.
Day Marking
For the first time this year the marking of written papers in some subjects will occur during the day. This initiative will allow greater access to marking for teachers from country schools. In addition to the English courses marked in Bathurst, Lismore and Wagga, Geography and the Poetry, Fiction and Drama questions in English General 2 Unit and English Related 2 Unit will be marked during the day in Sydney.
A more flexible Higher School Certificate
Pathways
Today's Higher School Certificate offers students more flexibility than ever before in the way they can approach their study program through the provisions offered by Pathways.
Prior to the introduction of Pathways, senior students could only take one year to do Year 11 studies (Preliminary courses), and one year to do Year 12 studies (HSC courses). Furthermore, if a student was not satisfied with their HSC results there was no provision to repeat an individual course or courses. To improve their Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER) the student had to repeat their entire Year 12 program of study.
All this changed when Pathways was introduced for students in 1993. Pathways is proving popular -- by 1995 there were 4680 students using the Pathways model.
Under Pathways provisions, students are now able to take extra time to complete their Higher School Certificate, move through their program more quickly, or repeat one or more courses.
Students may now `accumulate' their studies over a longer period of time by taking up to five years to complete the HSC study pattern, and unlimited time to complete their Preliminary pattern.
Another option is to `accelerate' HSC courses. Students who are gifted or talented in a particular area can undertake HSC courses ahead of their peers.
After completing their Higher School Certificate, students can also use the Pathways provisions to repeat one or more courses in an attempt to improve their Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER).
Because they may take up to five years to complete their Higher School Certificate, students now have the option to combine part-time work or TAFE study with school work.
The Higher School Certificate and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
The Board of Studies uses the term `Recognition of Prior Learning' (RPL) as a generic term for the two mechanisms (Credit Transfer and Advanced Standing) by which the Board may recognise formal or informal study and/or relevant life experience as contributing to the award of the Higher School Certificate.
RPL arrangements are provided for individual students and are granted as follows:
-
Credit Transfer for study successfully completed at a TAFE or another recognised post-secondary institution;
-
Advanced Standing, whereby students may be exempted from certain study requirements of a particular Board course if they are able to demonstrate that they have already achieved the relevant outcomes.
