COVID-19 RESPONSE

Mar 31, 2020

In the face of uncertain and challenging times, it is important to respond with flexibility and positivity. In response to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Australia, the team at HSC CoWorks were proactive and adaptive, working tirelessly to update the service and continue supporting students throughout their HSC campaigns, despite the changes and challenges.
We were one of the first education providers to recognise the disruption that COVID-19 would cause school students across Australia and so we acted fast. We were fortunate to have had a lot of practice and experience running virtual sessions for the past year with our virtual campus students and were therefore able to make a swift move online for the safety of our students, staff and the wider community.
We moved our face-to-face sessions to a virtual delivery mode made possible by video conference application, Zoom and this change has been well-received by our students and coaches alike.

Students continue to attend one two-hour weekday session and one three-hour weekend session each week, benefiting from the support and guidance of our HSC coaching team, comprised of high-performing past students and experienced classroom teachers.

The use of ‘breakout rooms’ on Zoom enables students to receive one-on-one coaching and to work through all of the challenges that they are experiencing.

Our online portal remains an invaluable training platform for our students throughout this time. With thousands of HSC-style questions and an experienced marking team on hand, our online program is more valuable now than ever before. Our video lessons, planning functionalities, questions and resources continue to provide our students with a great advantage in their HSC, guiding students to study harder and smarter.

Coach Feedback

“Students have been really open to the idea of moving to virtual sessions and have embraced the change to their normal sessions. Many students have also said that they are now getting even more work done as there are no distrations”

Luca

“This new transition to online sessions has proved to be seamless and well-received by a lot of students. CoWorks is doing what we do best; providing certainty to students as they navigate through these precarious times”

Luci

“The utilisation of breakout rooms allows for much more 1-on-1 discussion and collaboration between coaches and students, helping those who might have been afraid of asking for help at the group face to face sessions”

Arran

And what are our students saying?

“After doing online school all day, I love the motivation that CoWorks gives me and the accountability that it provides” – Student

“I would give it 5/5 stars. It’s really no different to the way it was before” – Student

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?”
