About being a HSC Supervisor
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.
- The length and number of shifts a Supervisor receives depend on the number of exams held during the exam period.
An Exam Supervisor must have high ethical standards to uphold the integrity of the exams. They must be well-organised, have good attention to detail and be able to respond appropriately to maintain the dignity and wellbeing of students.
A person cannot be an Exam Supervisor if:
- They have a relative (including children, siblings, grandchildren, nieces, nephews or cousins) sitting the HSC exams this year at NCS
- They tutor students sitting the HSC exams this year
- They are under 18 years of age
An Exam Supervisor must:
- Hold a Working with Children Check for paid employment prior to commencing work
- Have physical ability to handle exam materials and stand for most of the day
