The syllabus content related to the 2027 externally set tasks (ESTs) will be available from Friday, 25 September 2026.

The syllabus content information will be available on relevant course pages on the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) website at https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au.

The EST is based on Unit 3 syllabus content. The syllabus content to be assessed in the EST is highlighted within the Selected Unit 3 syllabus content for the Externally set task 2027 document for every Foundation and General course.

The EST will be administered in schools during Weeks 3, 4 and 5 of Term 2, 2027.

All Foundation course ESTs will include the skills of literacy and numeracy in association with the identified 2027 EST Unit 3 content.

All students enrolled in a Year 12 Foundation or Year 12 General course are required to complete the EST for that course.

The Authority will publish the Externally Set Tasks Handbook 2027 in early 2027.
