Update to process for audio files for HSC exams with a listening component

HSC Presiding Officers will no longer be given CDs of audio files for HSC exams with a listening component (except CCAFL* courses). The affected courses are:

• English EAL/D
• Languages — and Literature, Beginners, Continuers, in Context
• Music 1, Music 2.

As a result, Principals are required to nominate an authorised school representative to download MP3 audio files which will replace the CDs previously provided.

The audio files will be available in Schools Online one hour prior to the relevant HSC exam.

The following information guides are available in Schools Online > Memos and Documents > Examination Operations:

• Guide to HSC exam audio files — process and requirements
• Guide to HSC exam audio files for the authorised school representative.

Presiding Officers will continue to be provided a CD of audio files for HSC exams for the following CCAFL* courses:

• Armenian
• Croatian
• Dutch
• Filipino
• Hindi
• Hungarian
• Khmer
• Macedonian
• Maltese
• Persian
• Polish
• Portuguese
• Punjabi
• Russian
• Serbian
• Swedish
• Tamil
• Turkish.

CCAFL* refers to courses developed under the Collaborative Curriculum and Assessment Framework for Languages.
