Seeking Volunteers – Reader/Writers for the HSC Exams
We are seeking volunteers to build our pool of reader/writers who assist during the Trial HSC and HSC examinations.
Reader/writers support students who have approved provisions by either reading exam questions aloud, writing down student responses, or both.
No prior experience is needed. Full instructions will be provided to help you feel confident in the role. Volunteers need to be available during school hours and have a current Working With Children Check.
If you are interested in being part of this important work and supporting our students during this significant time, please contact Carla Robinson (Secondary Learning Support Coordinator) at carlarobinson@ncs.nsw.edu.au for more information or to register your interest.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to our school community.
HSC supervisors
The main role of supervisors is to make sure all students follow NESA’s exam rules. Supervisors report to the HSC Presiding Officer and help them with other duties.
A supervisor’s duties may include:
- checking exam rooms are properly equipped and set up
- supervising students in exam rooms
- collecting completed exam papers
packing up after exams
Supervisors receive a roster from their Presiding Officer. The length and number of shifts a supervisor receives depend on the number of exams held at each school. Supervisors may supervise at more than one school
Supervisors must:
- have a valid Working with Children Check
- work as part of a team
- have attention to detail
- be able to carry out duties in confidence and with discretion
be able to stand for long periods of time.
Supervisors must not supervise at any school where they have a friend or close relative who is:
- sitting the HSC, or
an employee of the school.

Sole Support: A Guide to School Shoes
School shoes are an essential part of our daily school wear.
So many of our students wear the correct shoes and keep them looking clean.
School shoes are required to be all black, polishable, and adhere to the specific requirements for their shape.
Please refer to the shoe guide for details: https://www.ncs.nsw.edu.au/_files/ugd/a82b8a_b56763c85e4143e48b8fbae5be6fa215.pdf
Incorrect shoes must be replaced within two weeks of notification by the school.
Get Hands-On with NCS Bushcare
NCS has a flourishing bush revegetation zone that primary students have been tending and planting. We are seeking volunteers willing to assist with this on a once-a-term basis. Contact Mr McLennan for more information.

Help shape wiser screen habits – parent/carer & student survey
Our school has been invited to participate in a study on best practice screen use. Parents/carers can complete a 10-15 min anonymous questionnaire and/or, if they wish, give permission for their child to do a student survey: Take the Parent/carer and student survey. You can opt to receive a summary of the state-wide results. Your insights will directly inform new classroom resources and policy. Thank you for your support.
