Years 7-10 Syllabuses

Years 7-10 Syllabuses

The Board's Years 7–10 syllabuses and K–10 languages syllabuses were introduced in 2004 and have been in full implementation since 2006.

All schools are required to deliver programs of study that comply with the requirements of Board syllabuses. For schools that are accredited the courses must also satisfy the prescribed hours for the Record of School Achievement and cover all of the essential content of the Board's syllabuses.

Beyond the prescribed study hours schools have discretion to offer courses beyond the Board's curriculum. If individual schools choose to teach material not approved or endorsed by the Board, it must be made clear to students that this material is additional to and not part of the relevant Board syllabus and will not be tested in any public examination conducted by the Board. Students should understand that such material, therefore, would not be considered relevant in any response they write for Higher School Certificate examinations. Such material is not to be set as part of school-based assessment of Board syllabuses that contributes to the Record of School Achievement and Higher School Certificate assessment.

The teaching of any religious, ideological or philosophical beliefs that are not in conflict with these constraints and are not otherwise contrary to the requirements of the Education Act is a matter for the school and the school community.
