    The Board of Studies has announced changes to the requirements for the Major Design Project in the Design and Technology course.

    The key changes are to the parameters for the student folio:

    The folio will be limited to 80 written A4 pages OR 40 written A3 pages printed on ONE side only. Note that the page limit includes the title page, index, bibliography, design ideas, concept sketches and detailed drawings, as well as information presented on displays or noticeboards. Students who need to use a combination of A3 and A4 pages in their folios to display their work to best effect must keep to the overall page limit, using 1 × A3 page = 2 × A4 pages as a guide. Other media-based or multimedia-based materials in a student’s folio should not exceed six minutes viewing time in total.

    Full details of the changes can be found here: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/design-technology-assessment-reporting.pdf
