*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Welcome to Term 4! With the few hurdles left to overcome this year, we’re racing towards the finish line. While we wrap things up, we also like to take some time to look towards the future! Our Term 4 activities and events are all about being prepared for the year ahead. What’s next for you? High school feels like it lasts forever… until it doesn’t. As the end draws near, big choices about university degrees and tertiary study come ever closer. Have you thought about the options beyond yet? Not too many years ago, our tutors walked down the same path. Join us at our UAC Luncheon for afternoon tea, catch up with your tutors after your exams and pick the brains of our OW team. Our tutors come from diverse backgrounds with many different degrees. We’d love to share our experience and knowledge with you! 1-3PM Saturday 12 November 2022 OW Hurstville Centre Light refreshments provided! RSVP Now Do you know what scaling is? Hot take: You don’t have to win every battle - only the ones you choose. Year 12 is as much an exercise in strategy and time management, as it is a test of perseverance. Don’t take hearsay and rumours as advice. We’ll share how to make the right decisions in Year 12 for yourself in our HSC & ATAR Guide. Register Now Student wins! 🤩 It’s proved another fruitful year with many great results. Internal ranks play a huge part in hedging your final HSC marks. We’re so proud that many of our Year 12s are walking into their final exams with full confidence after stellar Trial results. Congratulations to Eric (Year 12), who finished 1st in his cohort for Physics at Sydney Secondary College. Serena (Year 12) similarly headed into the HSC with confidence, achieving an internal rank of 2nd for EAL/D at Blakehurst High School. Finally, Teresa (Year 12) of Ravenswood Girls High School gunned towards the finish line, improving 50% over just one term in Mathematics Extension 2. Introducing Study Space Sessions Our study environment is important and sometimes, home just isn’t the right vibe. Studying consistently in the same clear, clutter-free space is known to boost focus and productivity. That’s why we’re introducing new Study Space Sessions from Week 5 onwards on Level 5 of our Hurstville Campus. To help you tackle your challenges, one of our tutors will be present to answer questions and offer help when you need it. Sessions will be run regularly at set times during the week. Let us know which days work best for you using the Expression of Interest (EoI) form below. More details to come! Express Interest Do you have good habits? Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither is your English. Good habits are all about building repeatable strategies and tactics you can use again and again.
