The 6 skills required for HSC success

Jul 25, 2019

Here at HSC CoWorks we live and breathe our Key Behaviours no matter our role in the company and whether we are studying or not.

Why? Because these 6 behaviours when understood and adopted are a game changer no matter our task or path.

Let us ask you a question. How well prepared do you really think your child is for the HSC exams? Do you know what it will take for them to achieve what they want? Do you believe it’s about how many times they write their notes out, how many hours they spend studying, how well they perform in their homework or how well intentioned they are?

In our 23 years of working with HSC students we could tell you hundreds of stories about the well intentioned student who worked hard, tried their best but just couldn’t get the results they wanted. So what were they doing wrong?

It comes down to how well the student has developed certain Key Behaviours and applied them to their studies. At HSC CoWorks our 6 Key Behaviours are gospel. We strive to keep them front of mind with our students, staff, parents, ourselves, developing them into hard-wired attributes which you will be using long after your final HSC Exam.

Elon Musk famously said he “learnt to build rocket ships by reading books”. Thomas Edison proclaimed that “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”. Albert Einstein admitted that “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

No student was born a brilliant essay writer, apt at mathematical equations, experienced at managing the pressure of examinations. The student who succeeds is the student who commits themselves to the Key Behaviours. Regularly engaging with a strong vision, planning, daily effective studying and pure determination is what will make that physics problem possible or improve their essay writing skills.

At HSC CoWorks we will help you develop these qualities through supportive coaching, planning & accountability structures, stretch & challenge tasks, improved study technique and focus.

The upcoming April school holidays present a fantastic opportunity—not just to catch up, but to get ahead of what’s to come. 
For Year 12 students, the next Term is particularly intense, with a race to complete all course content before the Trial Exams. Students who do very little over the break will find themselves under more pressure during the term, especially alongside school, sport, co-curricular and social commitments. 
For our Year 11 students, this holiday period is a chance to build brain circuitry and develop familiarity with Term 2 content before it’s formally taught. Starting the term with that early awareness and understanding is always less stressful than walking in cold. 
For these reasons HSC COWORKS IS OPEN during the school holidays and we encourage Year 11&12 students to attend their sessions so that they can get ahead of Term 2!
