Summer Holiday Recommended To Do List – Message To Students

Nov 30, 2015

So you’re super excited about the summer holidays and so you should be because after these holidays are done, you’ve got some serious climbing to do before you can conquer your Mount HSC. It is important that you have a break and recharge the batteries however if you are serious about finishing the HSC with zero regrets you will need to get some solid work done before you start back at school in Term 1 (late January).

In each of your basecamp projects you will have a new to do list (displayed below). Some of these tasks are more onerous than others so make sure you do eat your frogs (complete the tasks you least want to first).

Some of the tasks have a comment within the task with more instructions on the task. Just click on the to do item to view the further instructions.

If you are studying a subject that we haven’t mentioned in this list, please speak to one of the coaches next time you are in the office to see what tasks you could complete to support a strong performance in Term 1 and beyond.

Looking forward to seeing these tasks get ticked off your to do list over the next 8 weeks.

We promise that if you get through this list you will be in great shape for a strong Term 1 performance which will give you great momentum for the rest of your HSC campaign.

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. 📚
