NSW HSC">State of Software Design in NSW HSC
By Nick Hodge | January 31, 2010
Liam successfully completed his HSC in 2009, with one of his subjects being Software Design
Looking over his results certificate, it seems that 1726 students sat the HSC Exam from 1759 enrolments. In other words, 2.5% of the NSW HSC population took this course.
The curriculum for this subject area is reported to be weak.
Maybe it is time for Higher Education, Industry and the Board of Studies to strengthen the content of this course. For the future of Australia in the digital world.

I did the course too back in 2003/2004. Wasn’t great then either — it was hopelessly out of date. Would be awesome if DET could get some people in to refresh the material…
