What will my HSC Record of Achievement look like?
On satisfactory completion of the HSC, students receive a portfolio containing:
1. The HSC Testamur: this is the certificate that confirms a student has achieved all the requirements for the award. 2. The Record of Achievement: this lists the courses studied and the mark and band achieved in each course. 2 Unit courses are marked out of 100 and have six bands of achievement; 1 Unit courses are marked out of 50 and have four bands of achievement. It also lists the
Year 11 courses studied and the grades achieved. 3. Course Reports: this lists the marks awarded in each course for the moderated school assessment, the HSC examination and the final HSC mark (an average of the two former marks).
On the following pages is a sample HSC Portfolio.
