Minor related amendments to the Stage 6 Classical Hebrew Continuers and Extension syllabuses have also been made.
Implementation of the amended Classical Hebrew Extension syllabus will commence with the 2016 HSC. Implementation of the amended Classical Hebrew Continuers syllabus will commence with the Preliminary Course in 2018 and first HSC examination in 2019.
Key amendments to the syllabus include:
- Removal of information relating to text rotation (Continuers and Extension). This information has been included in the course prescription documents.
- Inclusion of two additional conjugations, Pu’al and Hoph’al in the Grammar section – Items for Analysis (Continuers)
