An overview of Year 11 requirements for students
In Stage 6 (Year 11 and 12), all courses have a value of 1 unit or 2 units. Most courses are 2 unit courses. All 2 Unit courses comprise a Year 11 component (Year 11 Terms 1-3) and a Year 12 component (beginning in Year 11 Term 4) and concluding with the final HSC examinations. To take an HSC course, a student must have successfully completed the corresponding Year 11 course.
English Extension (1 unit) and Mathematics Extension (1 unit) courses are also available in Year 11.
