The official NESA course page (accessed 10 November 2026) states that the new Visual Arts 11–12 Syllabus (2026) is to be implemented from 2028: 2026 and 2027 are planning and preparation years, Year 11 starts the new syllabus in Term 1 2028, and the Visual Arts Stage 6 Syllabus (2016) continues for Year 12 until Term 4 2028. Year 11 students in 2027 therefore study the 2016 syllabus (Preliminary course 11380). NESA's record of changes lists no syllabus amendment after October 2016. Follow any later NESA notices.
