CAFS Syllabus Acronyms

Memorable acronyms for the HSC Community and Family Studies syllabus in one PDF, so you can recall every list of needs, factors and supports in the exam.

Long syllabus lists are easier to remember as a word. For example, SHESEA covers the specific needs: sense of identity, health, education, safety and security, employment and an adequate standard of living.

What's inside

  • Parenting and Caring: types and roles of parents and carers, preparing for the role, influences, parenting styles, legal rights and types of support
  • Research Methodology: the purpose of research and ethical behaviour
  • Groups in Context: specific needs, access to services and creating positive social environments
  • Individuals and Work: why people work, changing work patterns and workplace structures

How to use them

  • Learn the acronym first, then practise writing out every point it stands for from memory.
  • In the exam, jot the acronym in the margin and turn each letter into a point in your answer.
