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.

The HSC can feel like it’s all consuming right now.

The assignments. The exams. The late nights. The pressure.

But our Balgowlah coaches are living proof that there’s so much waiting for you on the other side.

From travelling the world, building careers they’re passionate about, studying at university, moving overseas, and saying “yes” to opportunities they never imagined in Year 12 . Their adventures all started with the same thing: putting in the work.

The HSC isn’t the finish line. It’s a launch pad.

Every study session, every practice paper and every small effort you’re making now is helping create more choices, opportunities and skills for your future self.

So when motivation feels hard to find, remember what you’re working towards.

The adventures ahead are worth it 🏔️
