It would be interesting to see what syllabuses/exams mention open
source. I know that the past two years of the NSW Software Design and
Development course have mentioned it, and one even has a question
asking about the technologies that lead to the open source
methodology.

As I think I've said before, there are actually three ICT related
subjects for the HSC. I'm not sure about other states.

The ACT appears to let individual schools create courses, however they
must be approved by the BSSS. There is a list of courses on their
website - http://www.bsss.act.edu.au/curriculum/courses_new.
