The Stage 6 Community and Family Studies Syllabus has been amended.
Implementation of the amended syllabus will commence in 2014 for the Preliminary course, with the first Higher School Certificate (HSC) examination in 2015.
Key amendments to the syllabus include:
- a reduction of content to allow for greater depth of study
- updated content to provide a more contemporary approach to learning about the needs of young children and families
- enhanced consistency of terminology and improved alignment of the Preliminary and HSC courses.
There has been no change to the syllabus core and module structure, objectives and outcomes, internal assessment requirements including the Independent Research Project and the HSC examination specifications.
The amended Stage 6 Community and Family Studies Syllabus is available to download from the syllabus section of the Board’s website.
