What's ready for the new HSC syllabuses: Year 12 English and Maths

Written by Sarah Arrowsmith

Available from Term 3 2026, so you can plan with confidence.

The new HSC syllabuses for Year 12 English and Maths are up for mandatory implementation in Term 4 2026. We've released our content a term ahead, so you can plan your teaching and get familiar with the new syllabus well before Term 4.

All our updated content is aligned to the new NSW Curriculum Senior syllabuses. You'll find a breakdown of what's live, organised by subject and focus area, plus what's coming in the following months.

HSC Maths

The Year 12 Maths courses have been rebuilt for the new HSC syllabuses.

  • Standard is now two separate courses. Mathematics Standard was previously a single staged course on Atomi, and the content is now differentiated into Mathematics Standard 1 and Mathematics Standard 2, so each pathway has content built for it.

  • The video design has been refreshed for engagement, accessibility and cognitive load.

  • Exam application videos run across every focus area, so students can put theory into practice.

  • Practice question structure is improved in every focus area, with more questions throughout to check topic and subtopic knowledge and harder challenges at the end to test holistic understanding.
