Curriculum confirmation and 2027 applicability
The HSC Year 11 Design and Technology pack follows the versions listed on its Official curriculum sources page. The course is expected to continue in 2027, but explicit 2027 confirmation is not recorded. Your school determines its assessment program and selected texts or topics. These are original study resources, not official board publications.
The official NESA course page (retrieved 10 November 2026; page last modified 26 October 2026) presents the Design and Technology Stage 6 Syllabus (2013) as the Stage 6 syllabus and links the 2027 HSC practical exam rules. It also advertises a Design and Technology 11–12 Draft syllabus; NESA's syllabus consultations page (retrieved the same day) says the 'Have your say' period for TAS 11–12 drafts closes on 18 December 2026. The replacement is therefore still a draft with no implementation date published on the pages read, and NESA makes no explicit statement about Year 11 in 2027, so use of the 2013 syllabus by Year 11 students in 2027 is likely, not formally verified.
