The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has planned a series of public meetings about the Australian-first course, which has been designed to enable high-achieving students to research challenging science topics and better prepare them for careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.
“Disease, climate, space and time – these are the big scientific issues we want to inspire HSC students to pursue,” NESA chair Tom Alegounarias said. “There are exciting future opportunities for science students in industry, research and as informed contributors to community discussions.”
Consultation on the draft Science Extension syllabus is open until April 9.
NESA will host a meeting about the syllabus from 4pm on Thursday March 9 at Newcastle Exhibition and Conference Centre, formerly known as Newcastle Panthers.
