A review of 149 senior secondary courses is in progress for 2025. This has been a joint process with DECYP as course reviewers and TASC as course accreditors. The review incorporated feedback from various mechanisms including Subject Matter Expert Groups, Formal Moderation, External Assessment Panels, Quality Assurance Meetings and Audits.

Status update:

  • The 149 courses being reviewed were either expiring by 31 December 2025 or part of a scheduled or ongoing review.
  • 109 of these courses have been designated for re-accreditation without change. These have been published on the TASC website.
  • The remaining 40 courses have been identified as requiring amendments. The proposed amendments are being assessed through an accreditation process. These will be available mid-Term 4, 2025.
  • All courses reviewed and re-accredited in 2025 will appear as “ongoing” and not have an expiry date.
  • TASC and DECYP will continue to review and maintain senior secondary courses based on educational priorities, alignment to Curriculum and Accreditation Frameworks, and input from our key stakeholders.
  • TASC is also in the process of convening an Accreditation Advisory Panel (AAP). This will strengthen oversight of the course accreditation process with representation of teachers from all educational sectors.

Further information:

  • The TASC Update will provide the latest information for when senior secondary courses undergoing this review process will be published and available.
  • Updated course documents will be available through the TASC website during Term 4.
  • Course documents with changes highlighted will be available through the DECYP Learning Area Communities of Practice.
  • Teaching and Learning resources for senior secondary courses are available through the Years 9-12 website
