January Hit the Ground Running HSC Programme

While it is important that HSC students have a good break over the December January school holidays it is also important that by the time student’s start back at school they are back in “HSC Mode” rather than spending the first few weeks of term readjusting back to school life.

Study Boot camp

The HSC study boot camp is a programme we normally run in the lead up to the final HSC exams in September and October however due to the excellent feedback we have received from attendees we have decided to run in each of the holidays throughout the HSC year. The Boot camp is run by Jesse, a passionate motivator and mentor to students, and will involve students conducting their own study or preparation for Term 1 assessment tasks in a positive environment with other students.

There is a strict enforcement of "No YouTube" and "No Facebook" . Students will be closely monitored to ensure that they are working effectively and on task. Over the course of the 3 days we will have different teachers and tutors in the office to assist students with the study/work they are doing.

Students wishing to attend Boot camp must attend all 3 days. Click here for more information about the Boot camp.
