HSC students typically finish their academic year earlier than the official end of Term 4, as their exams are scheduled to conclude beforehand. However, the final class date for Year 12 students varies between schools. It is crucial for students to confirm this information with their respective schools to determine the exact date when their classes will officially end. Staying informed about this detail helps ensure a smooth transition as you approach the conclusion of your HSC journey.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
