Yes we can use them for Extension. Section 11.6 of the French Extension syllabus says that there usage is fine.

Students may use monlingual and/or bilingual print dictionaries in the written examination. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/french_ext_syl.pdf

Note that we can't in the Oral monologue.

BUT

Also be aware that it a very big 'perte de temps' when we only have 2 hours for the exam... so don't rely on them - learn the words and vocab!

For future reference, the syllabi are very good sources of information and are much worth your while in having a quick squizz, as in addition to answering vital questions you already have, it tells you pretty much exactly what is expected of you in the course.
