What Changed in the 2025 Physics Syllabus?
The 2025 NSW Physics syllabus does not start being taught in 2025. That distinction is important if you're choosing subjects, preparing for Year 11, or trying to work out which syllabus applies to your HSC.
The 2025 NSW Physics syllabus does not start being taught in 2025. That distinction is important if you’re choosing subjects, preparing for Year 11, or trying to work out which syllabus applies to your HSC. NESA published the replacement syllabus in 2025, but its first Year 11 teaching cohort begins in 2027, and the first HSC examination under the new syllabus is in 2028. If you’re sitting the HSC in 2026 or 2027, you’ll still be assessed under the previous 2017 syllabus.
