HSC Economics Update: Economic Issues Part 2

Mar 25, 2014

Topic 3 of the HSC Economics Course looks at 6 economic issues in an Australian context. These issues are what pervades the content of the daily news and as such, there is so much information that can be included in essays beyond the theory that is in the textbooks. After all, it is the students that go above and beyond that perform the best.

Success in the HSC (and beyond) starts with key behaviours!
At HSC CoWorks, we know that academic success is all about building the right habits and behaviours. That’s why we coach our students to embrace these six key behaviours that drive results, including:
✅ Planning Ahead – No last-minute cramming, just consistent effort.
✅ Training Consistently – Just like an athlete, success comes from practice.
✅ Seeking and Using Feedback – Growth happens when we embrace feedback.
✅ Pushing Through Challenges – Discomfort = progress!
✅ Taking Ownership – The HSC is in your hands.
These aren’t just study habits; they’re life skills. The students who succeed in the HSC (and beyond) aren’t necessarily the smartest—they’re the ones who commit to these behaviours every day.
