Students should never put themselves at risk in order to reach an examination centre.
The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has advised HSC students in bushfire affected areas to contact their school if they are unsure if exams will occur, or if it is unsafe for them to reach an examination venue.
NESA will continue to liaise with examination Presiding Officers and school principals and update information where this is possible. Information may change at short notice as further updates are received.
If a student is cut off from their exam centre by a natural disaster, such as a bushfire, they may attend a neighbouring school on exam day, if it is safe to do so. A student in this situation should notify their principal immediately.
Students should never put themselves at risk in order to reach an examination centre.
Students unable to attend an examination due to a natural disaster are eligible to lodge an Illness/Misadventure appeal to ensure they are not disadvantaged.
