The Queensland education department has confirmed Year 12 Ancient History students at Brisbane State High School were taught the unit on Augustus, instead of Julius Caesar, the subject of the 2025 external exam.
The mistake was discovered yesterday.
The department has insisted students will not be disadvantaged.
“To ensure students are not disadvantaged, the school is making a whole cohort Illness and Misadventure application for this assessment,” a department spokesperson said.
“This will ensure consideration is given to the circumstances when student results are finalised.”
The students have already completed 75 per cent of their assessments.
The statement said the school has provided students with an “updated resource pack” for last-minute cramming as well as a “full day of support for students on Tuesday and on Wednesday morning to run through practice exam questions and exemplars”.
“The department and school are deeply sorry for this mistake and are supporting students and families during this time,” the spokesperson said.
