Holiday Basecamp Competition

Jun 26, 2014

Race your friends to the top of Mt HSC! Get rewarded for your holiday study! Be prepared for your trial exams!

Congratulations on reaching Base Camp Three of Mt HSC! You’ve now completed 75% of the journey, but only 30% of the altitude.

The next couple of months will be the most challenging ascent so far, with new content weighing you down and trials looming large. These holidays are your chance to get on top of your coming assessments, which will account for the greatest portion of your internal assessment mark.

To keep you focused on the climb ahead Basecamp will prove an invaluable tool for organisation, motivation and communication with your support team. In order to provide an extra level of incentive for your holiday study, we’ll be running a fun competition over Basecamp.

The students who complete the most Basecamp tasks over the holidays will win a meal for them and their mates at a hamburger joint, our shout!

The Prizes:

1st prize- hamburger lunch for you and 5 mates (worth approx. $100)

2nd prize- hamburger lunch for you and 3 mates (worth approx. $70)

3rd prize- hamburger lunch for you and 1 mate (worth approx. $35)

The Rules:

All written tasks must be over 200 words and submitted to our markers via hsccoworks.com. All other work must be uploaded as a file or photo to your Basecamp project. Any task that is not uploaded to either site will not be counted. The students with the greater number of eligible tasks completed within the designated period will be the winner. Second and third will be judged accordingly. The judges decision will be final.

Working harder doesn’t automatically mean better results.
If your study patterns and habits are off, more hours just means more wasted energy.
Smart work beats long work every time.

Make these 3 changes to your HSC preparation and watch your results improve:

1️⃣ Be clear on why you’re doing the work and what you’re aiming for. For many, motivation doesn’t just appear.. you need to work on it.

2️⃣ Take small, consistent and proactive actions instead of cramming and hoping it sticks.

3️⃣ Practice questions and writing even before you are ready. Most students will avoid this action until the week before an exam.. this is where marks are gained.

Most students know what to study. Top performing students have learned HOW to train.

Five reasons you’re not motivated.
Here’s the truth they don’t tell HSC students.
Motivation feels good, but it fades.
Discipline is what shows up on the days you don’t feel like it.
That’s what gets results in study and in life

Small changes in your study habits can completely change your HSC results.
Consistency > cramming.
Sydney students who fix the basics early always finish stronger. 📚
