The Preliminary course looks like this:
Yr 11 Standard:
Reading to Write
Contemporary Possibilities
Close Study of Text
Yr 11 Advanced:
Reading to Write
Narratives that Shape our World
Critical Study of Text
You must start with Reading to Write, but can do the other modules in any order.
They lead to these components of the new Year 12 course.
Yr 12 Standard
Common Module: Texts and Human Experience
Mod A: Language, Identity and Culture
Mod B: Close Study of Literature
Mod C: The Craft of Writing
Yr 12 Advanced:
Common Module: Texts and Human Experience
Mod A: Textual Conversations
Mod B: Critical Study of Texts
Mod C: The Craft of Writing
The Craft of Writing can be taught as a separate module or embedded into the other three.
The new syllabus is designed to improve writing skills, and to eliminate the practice of students coming into exams with prepared essays they have memorised.
NESA have published sample HSC exam papers you can find here:

Advanced Paper 2:

There are no sample Preliminary exam papers, although there are sample assessment tasks. There are no set texts for preliminary, however many schools have been using texts which were on the HSC course but are no longer prescribed texts. When using these texts they must be taught through the rubric of the new HSC course modules.
Next... Reading to Write
