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.

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. 💪
