THE NSW HSC STANDS FOR THE NEW SOUTH WALES HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFICATE.
In the State of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, the highest level of attainment reachable by students at school, is known as The NSW HSC, (The New South Wales Higher School Certificate).
The NSW HSC is one of the many pathways usually used by the students in New South Wales to gain entry into various university courses.
The NSW HSC is administered, delivered and overseen by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) from January 2017.
NESA is the NSW State Government Education Authority. It provides educational leadership by developing the curricula from kindergarten to Year 12 (HSC).
The Board of Studies NSW, was the then NSW State Government Education Authority from 1990 to 2013. The Board of Studies NSW was succeeded by The Board of Studies, Teaching and Education Standards (BOSTES), whom was the NSW State Government Education Authority from 2014 to 2017. BOSTES was succeeded by NESA in January 2017.

THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT TO RECEIVE HSC

HSC COURSES (CURRICULA)
To obtain The Higher School Certificate (HSC), students must complete at least 12 units of Preliminary Courses and 10 units of HSC Courses, including English. Most HSC Courses are worth 2 units.
Students need to satisfactorily complete the Preliminary Courses (usually in Year 11) before students can start the corresponding HSC Courses (usually in Year 12).
There are two main types of HSC Courses: Board Developed Courses and Board Endorsed Courses.
Board Developed Courses are developed by NESA.
Students’ achievements in these Board Developed Courses can count towards The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), which is the Ranking Scores used by various universities in Australia for entry into their Courses.
Board Developed Courses cover:
- English - Mathematics - Science - Technology - Creative Arts - Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) - Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE) - Languages - Vocational Education and Training (VET) Curriculum Frameworks.
Board Endorsed Courses are generally developed by Schools, TAFEs or Universities The courses though contribute to the HSC, but do not count towards the ATAR.
THE HSC MINIMUM STANDARD
A minimum standard of Literacy and Numeracy is required of students in NSW to receive the HSC from 2020 to reflect the importance of Literacy and Numeracy for success in daily life.
This change will not affect students sitting for the 2018 or 2019 HSC. Students who are sitting the HSC in 2018 or 2019, do not need to meet the HSC Minimum Standard.
The HSC Minimum Standard will ensure students have the basic Reading, Writing and Mathematics skills needed for everyday tasks and future learning.
Any students who are sitting The HSC examinations in or after 2020 will need to meet The Minimum Standard of Literacy and Numeracy in order to receive The Higher School Certificate.
From 2018, Year 9 NAPLAN tests will no longer be available as an early way for students to demonstrate the standard.
Students, who were in Year 10 in 2018, who had achieved a Band 8 or above in 2017 (in their Year 9 NAPLAN), in one or more of the Year 9 NAPLAN tests in Reading, Writing or Numeracy, are recognised as having met the HSC Minimum Standard in that particular area and will not need to sit for the corresponding online test.
If students have not achieved Band 8s or above they will need to take the corresponding HSC Minimum Standard Online Tests.
For those students who were in Year 10 in 2018 and had not received a Band 8 or above in the 2017 Year 9 NAPLAN tests, they will need to take the HSC Minimum Standard Online Tests between now and Year 12 to receive The HSC in 2020.
Literacy and Numeracy skills are key for success in everyday life. Achieving the HSC Minimum Standard means that, students will have the minimum level of skills necessary for the success in life after school.
The HSC Minimum Standard is met by passing online tests of basic Reading, Writing and Numeracy skills needed for everyday tasks.
The Minimum Standard Online Tests are not based on NAPLAN.
Students master basic skills at different stages. Therefore, there are multiple opportunities available for students to understand what to expect and pass The Minimum Standard Online Tests, from Year 10 until a few years after Year 12.
HSC students will need to meet the HSC Minimum Standard in three areas – Reading, Writing and Numeracy.
The standard is set at level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF), which means that, students will have the basic Reading, Writing and Mathematics skills needed for everyday tasks and future learning after school.
It includes skills for tasks such as:- Following safety instructions in equipment manuals- Understanding a mobile phone plan- Writing a job application- Creating a personal weekly budget.

atar

WHAT IS THE ATAR?
ATAR stands for The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank.
The ATAR is a rank, not a mark.
The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is a number between 0.00 and 99.95 that indicates a student’s position relative to all the students in their age group (ie all 16 year old to 20 year old students in NSW).
Therefore, if a student achieve an ATAR of 80.00 means that, the student is 20 per cent from the top of his or her age group (not the Year 12 group).
Universities use the ATAR to help them select students for their courses. Admission to most tertiary courses is based on the selection rank (the ATAR + any applicable adjustments).
Most universities also use other criteria when selecting students (eg a personal statement, a questionnaire, a portfolio of work, an audition, an interview or a test).
The average ATAR is usually around 70.00.
If every school student went on to achieve an ATAR, the average ATAR would be 50.00.
However, because some students leave school early and the ones who stay on to receive an ATAR are a smaller, more academically able group, the average ATAR is higher.
ATARs are calculated in each state to reflect a student’s rank against other students in their state.
In NSW, the ATAR is calculated and released by UAC (Universities Admissions Centre).
In the ACT (Australian Capital Territory), it is calculated by the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies and is released by schools.
NSW ATARs are equivalent to those in other states. For example, an ATAR of 85.00 in NSW is equivalent to an ATAR of 85.00 in other states.
ATAR ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for an ATAR in NSW, students must satisfactorily complete at least 10 units of ATAR courses.
