Revised Stage 5 Course Performance Descriptors (CPDs) for English, Mathematics, Science and History have been published. The CPDs have been revised to align with the outcomes and content of the new K–10 English, Mathematics, Science and History syllabuses.

The CPDs are to be used by schools from 2015 to grade student achievement for the Record of School Achievement (RoSA).

The same CPDs apply to 100-hour and 200-hour courses, to courses studied across Years 9 and 10, and to courses studied exclusively in either Year 9 or Year 10.

The revised CPDs for English, Mathematics, Science and History are available to download from the Assessment Resource Centre on the BOSTES website.
