Holiday Basecamp Competition

Jun 26, 2014

Race your friends to the top of Mt HSC! Get rewarded for your holiday study! Be prepared for your trial exams!

Congratulations on reaching Base Camp Three of Mt HSC! You’ve now completed 75% of the journey, but only 30% of the altitude.

The next couple of months will be the most challenging ascent so far, with new content weighing you down and trials looming large. These holidays are your chance to get on top of your coming assessments, which will account for the greatest portion of your internal assessment mark.

To keep you focused on the climb ahead Basecamp will prove an invaluable tool for organisation, motivation and communication with your support team. In order to provide an extra level of incentive for your holiday study, we’ll be running a fun competition over Basecamp.

The students who complete the most Basecamp tasks over the holidays will win a meal for them and their mates at a hamburger joint, our shout!

The Prizes:

1st prize- hamburger lunch for you and 5 mates (worth approx. $100)

2nd prize- hamburger lunch for you and 3 mates (worth approx. $70)

3rd prize- hamburger lunch for you and 1 mate (worth approx. $35)

The Rules:

All written tasks must be over 200 words and submitted to our markers via hsccoworks.com. All other work must be uploaded as a file or photo to your Basecamp project. Any task that is not uploaded to either site will not be counted. The students with the greater number of eligible tasks completed within the designated period will be the winner. Second and third will be judged accordingly. The judges decision will be final.

One of the biggest mistakes students make in the HSC is trying to avoid getting things wrong.

❌ They delay practice.
❌ They wait until they feel ready.
❌ They leave feedback too late.

Confidence doesn’t come from getting your answers right the first time. It comes from getting it WRONG early enough to improve.

The students who perform best:
✅ Practice questions early
✅ Practice their writing consistently
✅ Get feedback weeks (not days) before exams

🎯 The goal isn’t to avoid failure. It’s to use it, early, so you can walk into exams calm, prepared, and confident.

The students who stay consistent during the HSC?

They’re not more disciplined. They’re more connected.

Connected to:
🏔️Where they’re going
🏔️ Who they want to become
🏔️ What’s possible if they follow through

Because when your vision is strong, you stop negotiating with yourself.

You don’t wake up and ask: “Do I feel like studying today?”

You wake up and ask: ““What do I need to do today to get closer to the top of Mount HSC?”

So many students wait until they feel motivated or have a solid study plan before they begin 🙅‍♀️🙅

But in reality, motivation usually comes after the first action is taken. You don’t need the perfect plan. You just need the first step.

Start small. Just start.
