HSC support

Library resources

We maintain a range of resources, programs and services to support HSC students.

Search the library catalogue to see our excellent collection of study guides.  

Society and Culture

The State Library has collected 100 examples of award winning Personal Interest Projects so you can learn how they were constructed and what makes them so good. You can't make photocopies and they are not for loan, so you will need to visit the Harry Bailey Memorial Library to view them.

Legal Studies

The Library has a legal information collection which includes resources for HSC Legal Studies.  

Ask a Librarian

Our librarians are always happy to help you find the information you're looking for. Library members can submit their request using the online form and our librarians will email you a list of resources and links.  

Online resources

NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA)

On the NESA website you'll find HSC calendars, guidelines, advice, syllabuses, and HSC examination papers from previous years. Their Partner Websites also offer a range of resources to support your HSC studies.
