THE VIRTUAL CAMPUS PROGRAM
HSC CoWorks takes a broad approach, combining weekly coaching, marker feedback, subject teacher support and structured exam training into one inter-connected system. Rather than covering content in isolation, CoWorks builds the habits, skills and confidence students need to perform consistently across every subject.
Weekly 1-on-1 coaching
Weekly sessions with coaching across all subjects, as well as support with your study skills, organisation, long-term motivation and mindset.
Weekly Motivation Check-in
Every single week, Jesse Gardiner, our Head Performance Coach and motivation guru hosts a motivation session for students to check-in on goals, strategy and what’s getting in the way.
PRIVATE 1:1 SESSIONS
Private sessions with experienced HSC level teachers, many of whom have headed up their department and marked HSC exams.

Hybrid BOARDING SCHOOL Program
For students who would like the flexibility of both virtual and face-to-face coaching, we offer our Hybrid Program.
Students can join a weekly virtual coaching session via Zoom, and also attend sessions at their preferred Sydney campus. This option is particularly well suited to boarding school students who return home on weekends, allowing them to stay consistent with their coaching no matter where they are.

COMMON QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What platform do you use for Virtual Sessions
Our Virtual Sessions are hosted on Zoom and each student has their own break out room so that they receive 1-on-1 support, rather than a group environment.
Zoom functionality allows coaches to share screens, utilise virtual whiteboards and work collaboratively with students in real time, creating an interactive and personalised learning experience. Students can ask questions as they arise, receive immediate feedback and stay fully engaged throughout the session, all from the comfort of home.
What session times are available at the HSC CoWorks Virtual campus?

Students work on high-impact tasks such as revision, exam preparation and assessment planning, while receiving subject specific support where needed.

ENGAGE YOUR VISION
Your ‘Vision’ is the future you want to create for yourself through conquering a challenge. HSC CoWorks supports students to develop an inspiring vision of the future that they want to create through their HSC. We refer to this as their HSC Vision. From our A3 Vision Board template, to our virtual vision board to our regular check ins around what is awaiting students at the top of Mount HSC we help students stay focused on the big picture so they stay energised and motivated to keep climbing, even on the days they don’t want to.
If a student is energised and committed to achieving their goals, they will have the resolve and self discipline to work on the tasks that count (well intentioned AND effective tasks).
PLAN
Every student has the same number of hours available to them each day but it is how these hours are utilised which will determine the outcomes and results. The HSC CoWorks team is always working towards supporting students to make the most of their very limited study time.
We support students to plan ahead and break down their tasks into smaller tasks via our A4 planning pads, agenda setting at the start of each session and regular planning sessions. Students can upload their planning pad for coach feedback 7 days a week.
With solid planning and accountability, Consolidating Mountain Climbers will create more time for both a balanced life and be even more effective with their study time.
TRAIN. DAILY
For the Consolidating Mountain Climber, if they can maintain a methodical approach to all topics and attempt as many questions as possible they will be able to walk confidently into every exam.
Students can access our expert team 7 days a week throughout their HSC campaign so there is never a moment your child is not supported. From the targeted private sessions, drop-in support, quote training game and essay marking service, students on the starter package can train daily with the support and feedback of our expert team!
Our very popular ‘streaks’, ‘leaderboards’ and ‘badges’ encourage students to complete tasks on a daily basis making it easier to maintain momentum outside of assessment periods and build strong study habits.
PUSH YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Most people don’t like leaving their comfort zone, however for your child they have likely embraced the reality that this is the fastest way to improvement.
At HSC CoWorks we provide endless opportunities for students to stretch and challenge themselves so that they can find the gaps in their understanding and take action. As the consolidating mountain climber engages in these opportunities they will be supported by the marker feedback and collaborations with our expert Coaches and Teachers.
For the Consolidating Mountain Climber it’s likely your child is happy to leave their comfort zone but may need a structured approach to complete as many tasks as possible that will expand their capabilities.
GRIT
No one has achieved anything of significance in their lifetime without encountering and overcoming bucket loads of obstacles, set backs, failures and mistakes. It is these very setbacks that are shaping us to be stronger for our next attempt. Get knocked down to the ground? Get up and let’s keep climbing.
The Consolidating Mountain Climber is well on their way to understanding that mistakes and setbacks are part of the process but we can all benefit from some extra encouragement to pick ourselves up off the ground when we are telling ourselves to just stay down. Our coaches, teachers and markers will continually encourage students to try again until they get it right.
OWN IT
At HSC CoWorks we are firm believers in the student taking ownership of the HSC process.
HSC CoWorks will be climbing side by side with the student along their HSC journey, however it is the student’s responsibility to do the hard work and thinking. The opportunity to be mentored, coached and supported by those who have been through the same process before is highly valuable for the Consolidating Mountain Climber.
