Additional support for NSW HSC students is now available with the Department of Education switching on the new HSC Hub for the first time.
Announced by the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning, Sarah Mitchell, the Hub is the next stage of the Learning from home resources created during the pandemic.
“HSC students across the State receive incredible support from their schools and teachers,” Ms Mitchell said.
“We have asked our teachers and principals what else they need to support their HSC students and one of the results is this new hub,” she said.
“The silver lining of the pandemic is a turbocharged move to online resource sharing for staff and students.”
“This hub is a way to centralise support for our students providing them with a quick and easy point of reference for questions they might have on anything relating to the HSC.”
Ms Mitchell said the hub would house both new material produced by NSW Education as well as existing resources to create a central repository of curriculum and support materials including lectures, online demonstrations, practice exams, assessment resources and video lessons aligned to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) syllabuses.
“A range of high quality, on-demand support modules will be progressively made available to students through the platform from the start of the July school holidays,” the Minister said.
“We are also investigating other interactive resources which suit the learning styles of our students for release for this HSC cohort before the Term 3 holidays.”
Ms Mitchell said the HSC Hub solution was designed following a survey of HSC teachers across NSW to determine what additional support teachers felt was required for HSC students and what form the support could take.
