Holiday Workshops

Holiday Workshops will be offered from Thursday 6 April to Year 12 boys during the upcoming holiday period. These have proven successful in providing boys with a structure that complements their individual study programmes.

Each three-hour Holiday Workshop session covers important HSC topics in that subject. A mix of strategies will be used in order to maximise learning, including revision lectures, structured tutorials and discussions. Workshops will generally be limited to a minimum of seven and a maximum of 20 boys. A fee of $70.00 (GST included) will be charged per three-hour workshop, which is excellent value compared to externally run HSC lecture courses. Boys are strongly encouraged to make good use of the workshops and are expected to stay for the entirety of each workshop.

A selection form will be handed to each boy in Year 12 and is to be returned to Ms Ducrou, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Headmaster Academic. Boys can choose to attend as many sessions as they like.

Every attempt will be made to accommodate all boys, but it may be necessary to restrict the number of boys in a particular workshop, depending upon demand. This will be done on a first come, first served basis.

A list of all available workshops will be available through Lampada, from Friday 18 March. Please note, charges will be made to the next fees statement on a no-refund basis.

Boys will not be required to wear School uniform and are not encouraged to drive to School for the workshops. However, if they do drive, they are not permitted to park on School property under any circumstances.

We do hope that each boy will participate in the workshops, which, according to boys in the Classes of 1999 – 2022, contributed well to their success during the HSC examinations.
