Preparing the form

Microsoft Forms is used by Aurora College to conduct HSC monitoring each term in a fully online environment. The form provided here is based on this model. This method helps keep records centrally, or in faculties, and works well when developed within a Microsoft Team.

To save time, your school or faculty may duplicate the Example 2 – 2023 HSC monitoring form and adapt the questions to suit their practices and procedures.

Steps to prepare the HSC monitoring form:

1. Visit Example 2 – 2023 HSC monitoring form
2. Select the ‘Duplicate it’ button at the top right of the form
3. Rename with relevant school name – HSC monitoring 2023 and adapt the questions to suit their practices and procedures

Consider sharing the form so all of the executive team can access HSC monitoring documentation. For more information visit Microsoft’s support site, Share a form or quiz to collaborate.
