Prescriptions for the Classical Greek Extension course 2016-2023 have been released and can be accessed in the HSC Syllabuses section of the BOSTES website. BOSTES is also releasing prescriptions for the HSC Classical Greek Continuers course 2018-2023 to align the end date of the prescriptions for both courses. Minor related amendments to the Stage 6 Classical Greek Continuers and Extension syllabuses have also been made.

Implementation of the amended Classical Greek Extension syllabus will commence with the 2016 HSC. Implementation of the amended Classical Greek Continuers will commence with the Preliminary Course in 2017 and first HSC examination in 2018.

Key amendments to the syllabus include:

• Removal of information relating to text rotation (Continuers and Extension). This information has been included in the course prescription documents.
• Minor changes to the way in which the length of the prose and verse prescriptions will be described. (Continuers only)
