Virtual Campfire – Encouragement, accountability and community

Apr 24, 2020

Always helps to know other people are also putting in the hard yards

Virtual Campfire – A place for encouragement, accountability and community
I think it’s safe to say most people enjoy sitting around a campfire should the opportunity arise. While there is no heat emanating from our newly launched virtual campfire there is energy being provided by seeing who else is online and working right now, how many tasks have been completed by those around the campfire and check ins from our coaches, Fergus and myself. 

Features of the virtual campfire: 

  • See which coaches, markers and other students are working right now so you know you’re not the only one working right now.  
  • Chat feature between coaches and students for accountability and encouragement. (Only coaches can initiate a chat at this point). Please note that students are not able to chat with each other.
  • Trivia events with questions popping up in the campfire space with a Zoom call running concurrently. (First Trivia event is on this Sunday at 5pm for Modern History). 
  • Change your display name to anything you like to go full stealth (currently only first name is displayed). 

Live Chat Vs Campfire Chat
Reminder that we have 7 day live chat support on every page of the portal for any queries you have around subject specific challenges and any aspect of the HSC CoWorks program. 
The Campfire Chat is for quick check ins, encouragement and accountability to be working on those more important tasks. 

Looking forward to seeing you around the virtual campfire today.

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 💪
