Cool Company To Work For #17: Quiksilver

Jun 7, 2014

Quiksilver, Inc. is the world’s leading outdoor sports lifestyle company, designing, producing and distributing a diversified mix of branded apparel, winter sports and golf equipment, footwear, accessories and related products. The Company’s apparel and footwear brands represent a casual lifestyle for young-minded people that connect with its board-riding culture and heritage, while its winter sports and golf brands symbolise a long-standing commitment to technical expertise and competitive success on the mountains and on the links.

Authenticity, innovation, pride, confidence and a belief in limitless potential have been the foundations in Quiksilver becoming the largest and most prestigious clothing and apparel company in the action outdoor sports industry.

The groovy sport and surf retailer Quiksilver walks its talk with its workforce. As a retailer promoting an active lifestyle to its buyers, it also promotes a similar ethos to its employees.

Lunchtime surfing and snow trips are a given and helped by the company’s most recent initiative in the form of The Boardroom – a library of boards of all shapes and sizes available for any team member to use before or after work or during lunchtime.

Quiksilver also sponsor some of the biggest sporting events in the world, so there’s always the perk of the opportunity to get to go to these.

Never let anyone tell you…..
That having the most detailed, most comprehensive, most colour coded notes is an effective way to study. 
Sure, notes are an important part of your HSC preparation, but don’t let it get in the way of completing the tasks that really matter and that will get your ready for the exam room!
🔥 Active recall from memory - mind maps, flashcards, teach a friend
🔥🔥Practice questions - a few each day outside of homework goes a long way
🔥🔥🔥Past papers under exam conditions - simulate the exam room = be ready for the exam room
Don’t start doing these 3 things once your notes are complete. Integrate these activities into your day to day study and see the results!

The HSC isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, taking the shot, and training daily even when it’s uncomfortable. The biggest risk you can take in your HSC year - not making mistakes.

Mount HSC isn’t climbed by accident.
This week our 80+ coaches came together to sharpen their skills, unite in vision, and recommit to the responsibility we carry for every one of our students. 
Because great programs don’t change lives. Great coaching does.
