Improvements are being made in stages as we migrate content from educationstandards.nsw.edu.au. Stage 6 syllabus information and exam resources are the latest content to move, and other curriculum information will follow later this year. The NSW Curriculum website continues to house K-12 syllabuses that have been updated as part of the NSW Curriculum Reform.
