Lessons Learnt From The HSC

Mar 31, 2014

For many, the HSC is a game that must be played as a mark of completing 13 years of education. With this, focus is often lost on what the HSC signifies and teaches you. With the benefit of hindsight, I have come to realise that there is much more to the HSC than the single number that appears on a computer screen come December. Here are some of my key learnings from my climb up Mount HSC.

1. It’s about the life long learning skills. The skills that you learn regarding determination, focus, passion and commitment are skills that will set you up well in life. Setting yourself a goal at the beginning of the year that you push to achieve through dedicating yourself to it, is the first of many times you will need that inspiration to achieve something. The brain based learning we espouse at HSC CoWorks that aims to focus on the ‘vision’ and remaining in a positive “toward” state will help you throughout your life, across all areas.

2. It’s important to keep the balance. What kept me sane during the HSC was my extra-curricular activities that gave me a break and a chance to clear my head throughout the hectic times of the HSC campaign. The students who perform the best are often those who have maintained their commitment to their sport, leadership activities or even their afternoon walk. This also ensures good time management skills and goal setting skills for HSC success.

3. You are not alone. The HSC journey is one that is shared with other students, past and present, parents and and the team at HSC CoWorks that are backing you all the away.The team of HSC CoWorks coaches have conquered Mount HSC and can provide invaluable support for your climb. If you need support always free to ask one of us or post a message on your Basecamp project.

4. The HSC is an opportunity to stand up and be noticed. The great thing about the HSC is that it is a system that rewards hard work. If you want a great HSC result you can have it as long as you are prepared to put in the hard yards.

The upcoming April school holidays present a fantastic opportunity—not just to catch up, but to get ahead of what’s to come. 
For Year 12 students, the next Term is particularly intense, with a race to complete all course content before the Trial Exams. Students who do very little over the break will find themselves under more pressure during the term, especially alongside school, sport, co-curricular and social commitments. 
For our Year 11 students, this holiday period is a chance to build brain circuitry and develop familiarity with Term 2 content before it’s formally taught. Starting the term with that early awareness and understanding is always less stressful than walking in cold. 
For these reasons HSC COWORKS IS OPEN during the school holidays and we encourage Year 11&12 students to attend their sessions so that they can get ahead of Term 2!
