HSC Heritage Languages Interview Sheet now available on Schools Online

The interview sheet for students studying HSC Heritage Language courses in Chinese (Mandarin), Indonesian, Japanese and Korean is now available via Schools Online > Memos and Documents > HSC Language Examinations Advice > Heritage Languages Interview Sheet.

The interview sheet is essential for the conduct of the oral examination and must be completed by all students. Students are required to save the sheet as a PDF using their student number as a new file name and submit it to their teacher at least two weeks prior to the date of their oral examination. The interview sheet must include a brief summary of the Personal Investigation and a list of the main texts used for research. The examiner will use the information provided to direct the interview.

Schools must ensure all interview sheets are uploaded onto Schools Online on or before the following dates:

Heritage Indonesian 25 July
Heritage Japanese 22 August

The sheets are to be uploaded via Schools Online > Data Collection > Upload Heritage Interview Sheet. Instructions on how to perform this function are available via Memos and Documents.
