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

The Trials are now over for many students… so what happens next..!?!
For many Year 12 students, this is when the post-Trials slump kicks in.
After months of assessments, revision and exam pressure, the intensity suddenly drops. Graduation is around the corner, the HSC still feels a little way away, and motivation can disappear fast.
But Trials are not the finish line. They’re the dress rehearsal and they have just given you incredibly valuable information about where marks are being lost and where to focus your energy before the real HSC exams begin.
In our latest blog, we share our 5 tips for getting out of the post-Trials slump and finishing your HSC strong:
1️⃣ Take a short, intentional break - Recover and reset, but give your break an end date.
2️⃣ Turn your Trial results into a game plan - Use your results and feedback to identify exactly where you can improve.
3️⃣ Don’t wait to “feel motivated” - Reconnect with your goals and start taking small actions. Action creates momentum. Momentum creates motivation.
4️⃣ Move from studying to exam training - Past papers. Timed responses. Essays. Feedback. Corrections. Make your mistakes now, not in the HSC exam room.
5️⃣ Use the support around you - The HSC CoWorks Teachers, Coaches, HSC Markers and subject experts can provide the structure, accountability and feedback you need through the final stretch.
There is still plenty of opportunity between Trials and the HSC to improve.
