Economics Update- 4th March 2014

Mar 4, 2014

This week we look at Australia’s place in the global economy and other countries responses to influence of the global economy. Awesome for essays on topic 1 and topic 2!

Article 1 – Australia and the Global economy

This article  touches on China, the RBA and exchange rates. What a hole in one!

Article 2 – India Case Study

Topic 1 of the economics course dictates you have to undertake a case study of a country other than Australia and globalisation. Here’s some useful information on India which makes an excellent case study country.

Article 3 – Global influences on the Australian economy

Markers always love when you have up to date examples. Check out this article that looks at how the problems in Ukraine will influence the Australian economy.

Year 11 is all but over. Year 12 HSC Exams are still 30 days away.

So what does a CoWorks session look like right now?

For our Year 11s, prelims might be over but that doesn’t mean there’s “nothing to do”! This is the perfect window to get proactive: review what you learnt from prelims, understand your Year 12 syllabus, look at past HSC papers and start building the knowledge and exam skills you’ll need when Year 12 begins on 12 October.

For our Year 12s, it’s all about turning the lessons from Trials into action. Filling knowledge gaps. Refining and resubmitting responses. Closed-book recall. Exam simulation. Targeting those subjects and tasks you’d rather avoid and making every remaining moment count.

No wondering “What should I work on today?”

Students walk into their CoWorks session with a clear plan designed around exactly where they are in their HSC journey 💪

For most Year 12 students, Trial Exams are officially behind you! 🎉 Take a few days to switch off, reset and enjoy the feeling of having made it through!

Then it’s time to turn your attention to the final stretch. Trials aren’t meant to be perfect. They’re exactly what the name suggests, a trial run for the real thing.

So embrace the mistakes. Look closely at where marks were lost. Get feedback. Work out what needs to change and adjust your approach.

The next few weeks aren’t about starting again. They’re about refining, improving and building confidence from everything you’ve already done.

You’ve come this far. You’ve got this. 💪
