HSC Minimum Standards Tests - Years 10-12
As you may be aware, the NSW Government has implemented a minimum standard of literacy and numeracy for students wishing to receive their Higher School Certificate.
Throughout Years 10, 11 and 12, your daughter will have a number of opportunities to sit the NESA online tests, receive feedback on her progress and access support to reach the minimum standards.
The first round of tests for our Senior School students will take place in Week 7 of Term 1. Tests will be scheduled in Reading, Writing and Numeracy. There will be further test opportunities scheduled later in the year and your daughter will be advised of these test dates in advance.
An information package will be provided to your daughter in the coming weeks. It explains what the tests involve, what she can expect and how she can best prepare for the tests. We encourage you to read this information together and, for more information, visit the NESA website:
