Hey guys just wondering to get a band 6 for english would we need to get band 6 (13/15 and up) for every single module and the creative/essay for belonging? If for example we got band 6's for everything but screwed up and got band 5 for one essay would that still be a band 6?

it depends on everyone else.
But I'm sure belonging stuff is out of 15 and the modules were out of 20?

Most definitely.

I think if you get 12-13/15 and 16+/20 consistently, you should be around the band 6 area.

No, not necessarily for both. You can get 20/20 for all your essays at school and not achieve a Band 5. It depends on the difficulty of your assessments and the difficulty of the exam which determines your final mark. These marks are moderated so one school's difficult assessment can be fairly compared to another school's easy assessment.

Best to see how you go doing past HSC exam papers. If your teacher is a fair marker, going by the marking criteria, then it should give you an idea on how you might perform.
