Arabic Chinese French German Indonesian Italian Japanese Modern Greek NESA has made minor amendments to the course prescriptions for French and Italian, for implementation with Year 12 from Term 4 2019. For full details, visit the NESA official notice.
We have updated our Stage 6 Extension resources to make them even better!
We have added: - a new section to all 9 languages – familiarising students with the prescribed issues through related texts - extra vocabulary to the Japanese - more related reading links to the Indonesian. We have also expanded the advice to students, ensuring there is more information on how to prepare for the HSC examination, with activities to build their skills in a range of areas. Make sure you use the online version of our resources, or re-download with each use, as we do update them. All material is available from our website: education.nsw.gov.au/languages The font issue in the Japanese Extension materials has now been fixed and the resources are back online:

We are currently rectifying this issue, so the materials are unavailable for the moment.
