Economics Update- 4th March 2014

Mar 4, 2014

This week we look at Australia’s place in the global economy and other countries responses to influence of the global economy. Awesome for essays on topic 1 and topic 2!

Article 1 – Australia and the Global economy

This article  touches on China, the RBA and exchange rates. What a hole in one!

Article 2 – India Case Study

Topic 1 of the economics course dictates you have to undertake a case study of a country other than Australia and globalisation. Here’s some useful information on India which makes an excellent case study country.

Article 3 – Global influences on the Australian economy

Markers always love when you have up to date examples. Check out this article that looks at how the problems in Ukraine will influence the Australian economy.

So many students wait until they feel motivated or have a solid study plan before they begin 🙅‍♀️🙅
But in reality, motivation usually comes after the first action is taken. You don’t need the perfect plan. You just need the first step. 
Start small. Just start.
What does a week at CoWorks look like?
It’s not just one session. It’s not just one weekly touchpoint.
It’s a full system of support designed to build confidence and keep students consistently organised, proactive and motivated across the week.
We still have a few places available for Year 12 students across our campuses. If you’re interested, we’d love to invite you to a free 7-day trial so you can see why students choose CoWorks.

April Study Bootcamp is coming...
The April holidays are a critical time for Year 12 students preparing for the busiest assessment term of the year. While a short break is important, using some of this time to get ahead can make a huge difference for Term 2.
At Bootcamp, students will:
✅ Build essays for upcoming texts and modules
🎯 Practice exam-style responses for completed topics
💡 Strengthen readiness for Term 2 assessments
For Year 11 students, one third of the year is already complete. With only two terms until the HSC year begins, this is the perfect time to consolidate preliminary topics and build strong foundations.
Across the 4-hour structured session each day, students tackle English and other key “frog” subjects to ensure meaningful progress before the term begins.
