Mathematics Methods – Foundation (MTM315117):

A minor correction has been made to a typographical error in the course content for Mathematics Methods – Foundation (MTM315117). In the ‘Exponential, Logarithmic and Circular (Trigonometric) Functions and Graphs’ section, under ‘Exponential Functions’, it formerly stated “recognising the qualitative features of the graph of 𝑦=𝑏𝑥 (𝑎>0) including . . .”. This statement has been corrected to 𝑦=𝑏𝑥 (b>0).

A new version (Version 2.a) of Level 2 Chinese (CHN215123), Japanese (JPN215123) and German (GRM215123) is available. The A, B and C standard descriptors for Criterion 4, Element 3 have been refined in light of feedback from teachers and DECYP Senior Secondary Provision.

2023 course review process and survey outcomes

Senior Secondary Provision (DECYP) and TASC collaborated to review the feedback provided during the Phase 1: Preliminary Course Review Process and the TASC Course Survey in 2023. This review has addressed immediate and high-risk issues with course delivery that included any inaccuracies, misalignment in complexity and inability to deliver and/or execute content or assessment.

Details of the course amendments is available from the Years 9-12 website (in the Learning Area section course accordion). Direct links to the information sheets about the feedback and amendments to each 2022/2023 newly accredited course is also provided below in Learning Area order:

From late January 2024, updated course documents including the course amendments will be available on the TASC website at Courses.
