Mathematics Stage 6
The Mathematics Stage 6 syllabuses are designed to offer opportunities for students to think mathematically through questioning, communicating, reasoning and reflecting. They promote development of 21st-century knowledge, skills, understanding, values and attitudes and provide challenge. Students generalise, find connections, think critically and creatively, using appropriate technology to support mathematical activity.
Years 11 and 12 subject choices and career opportunities
Students can see the connections between their subject choices in Years 11 and 12 and the career opportunities these subjects can lead to after school.
We have worked with education and industry experts and added information to each Stage 6 course description about the possible study, work, and training paths relevant to the subject.
Year 12 school-based assessment in 2023
NESA has given principals and system authorities the authority to determine the number, type and weighting of tasks for Year 12 school-based assessment in 2023 for all subjects in this learning area. Please ensure you follow the school-based assessment advice for the 2023 HSC.
