HSC 2023 applications for Disability Provisions

HSC 2023 applications for Disability Provisions (DPs)

A small number of students in each year group in the School have a disability that is part of their learning profile and impacts their performance in assessments; Year 12 is no exception. A disability in this context is an incursion on performance that is based on evidence provided by medical and/or allied health specialists and/or educators.

The purpose of Disability Provisions is to ensure that, as far as is possible, all students have an equal chance of accessing the HSC examinations. The level playing field that NESA supports does not consider students in relation to their own underlying abilities but compared to the capabilities of an average student in NSW.

If you believe that your child, or you as a student, might be eligible to apply for Disability Provisions, please contact Mr Dean or Dr Joffe in the Wolanski Family Specialist Learning Centre (SLC) no later than Monday 31 October 2022.
