The School Curriculum and Standards Authority will communicate in the October Circular confirmation that minor syllabus changes for the Year 12 Design ATAR course for teaching in 2027 have been published.

These changes pertain to the Design ATAR course Practical (Portfolio) examination design brief which aim to reduce the maximum length of portfolio submissions from 30 pages to 20 pages.

The October Circular will also include details of assessment workshops and course briefing sessions scheduled for Term 4, 2026 and Term 1, 2027 to support teachers with the minor syllabus changes.
