In regards to the syllabus I posted, is that the most recent one or am I looking at the wrong one?
If you go straight to the board of studies website, it should have the latest version of the syllabus on the site. This should be the latest one: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_sc/#science
I think the site also says updated in 2009. I don't know exactly what was updated or how much was changed but if a lot of changes were made, that could explain the differences if your textbook was published in 2005.

Still, I can't imagine stuff like 'the theory of evolution and natural selection' not being taught as part of the science syllabus though

I'll make sure I write some notes on those things then. Thanks twinklegal and Kimyia
We're doing those right now
Yes, I think natural selection is part of the school curriculum even though school certificate is rendered redundant.We're doing those right now

I wonder how we are going to learn these things if they aren't in our textbook.
I can give you some notes when I make them for my examinations and assignments. You would have to give me a month or so but I'll be sure to send them ASAP.

That is very kind of you, thank you
However I will try and get another textbook from the school library or the local library first to see if it is in there. Otherwise I will try to get a study guide or something.Pretty much this. You should always ask your teacher what is being tested in an examination and decide upon that, whether you need to know so much about one topic.
No problem. I'll tell you when I have my notes prepared and you can choose to take them or not.That is very kind of you, thank you

I found a study guide that has 'the theory of evolution and natural selection'. However it has nothing on biotechnology or cloning. At the moment, I can only find those two topics in my textbook. I will definitely ask my teacher again what is going to be in the exam

I guess you are right, they cannot test us on everything. Perhaps I should come back here at the end of the year and tell you if you were correct?
