Year 12 HSC Session: Meet the Markers

During Wednesdays SWP session Year 12 HSC students were treated to a panel discussion with a number of experienced HSC markers. At our school one of the greatest assets students have at their disposal is the calibre of the teachers in front of them. Wednesday was a demonstration of this excellence where I was joined on a panel consisting of Ms Byrnes, Mr Benson, Mr Drivas, Mr Briscoe-Hough and Mr Sinclair. We were able to enlighten students about processes involved in both HSC examination settings and HSC marking process. Our staff have held every possible role within NESA from marking, Senior marking up to Chief of marking, in the assessment space we have assessors, exam committee members and Chief examiner. Students were able to engage in Q&A with these staff. This enabled them to get a great insight into the marking process. This session was excellent preparation for the upcoming examination. Best of luck to all students and thank you for the thoughtful questions.
