Hey everyone, can someone explain... (1 Viewer)

[Orliii]

Hi everyone,

I am only in year 8 at school. But I was wondering if someone could explain the whole HSC thing? I am so confused. I have no idea what it is about or anything. I don't need to worry about it just yet. Just curious. And what is a "journey" ? My friend's sister said something about a journey, what is it? Thank you so much!

Well in brief,

HSC is the Higher School Certificate which shows that you have graduated from high school, so does the SC, School Certificate which means you graduated year 10. You can either stay at school after the SC or leave and find a job or go to tafe, if you continue you can proceed to receive the HSC and your UAI which allows you to go to university if you are picked.

Journey is the English Area of Study, an area of study is the area of English whereby you study a certain aspect in much detail. But you can find out more on the Area Of Study

The Area of Study a.k.a AoS, changes every 3 years or so, last AoS was "Change" in which the year 12s had to focus on that for a term. Also you are able to experience the AoS during year 11 which is a sort of practice for year 12 Modules

Also in English depending on which level you do, either Advance or Standard or ESL you do different Modules, which is similar to the AoS where you focus on certain texts, check it out on the ESL Forum, the English Standard Forum and the English Advanced Forum

But you don't have to worry about that for another three years, just worry about your School Certificate

Also look more into the Bored Of Studies website if you want more information

Good Luck~!

Don't worry yourself too early mate. You'll know all the details in time. You won't have to know anything much about "Journeys" by the time you're doing the HSC.
Besides, unless you're some gifted accelerated student, the HSC would probably have changed a lot by the time you do it. It may even perhaps be completely replaced with that National Certificate, by the time you're in Year 12. (Although a National Certificate is still only a political debate at the moment)

my advice is dont understand it....

it only makes your life a living hell..at least in hell you get to play with flames..but in the hsc you only play with paper.....until after the hsc

Trust me. In three years time, you'll know too much about the HSC. Don't worry about it now - just enjoy yourself and try to grasp the fundamentals that you're learning now. It'll make life much easier come Year 11 and 12.
