Holiday Workshops

Holiday Workshops will be offered from Thursday 22 September to Years 11 and 12 boys studying for the HSC in the upcoming holidays. These workshops have proven successful in providing the boys with structure, which complements their individual study programmes.  

Each three-hour Holiday Workshop session will cover important HSC topics in each subject area. A mix of strategies will be used in order to maximise learning: revision lectures, structured tutorials and discussions. Workshops will be limited to a minimum of seven and a maximum of approximately 20 boys.  

A fee of $65 (including GST) will be charged per (three-hour) workshop, which represents excellent value compared to externally run HSC lecture courses. Charges will be made to the next fee statement on a no-refund basis. Boys are strongly encouraged to make good use of the workshops and are expected to stay to the end of each workshop.

A selection form will be emailed to each boy in Year 12 and each form will need to be returned to Ms Ducrou, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Head Academic, Mr Matt Leeds. Boys may 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 Holiday Workshops will be available on Shore’s website on Friday 2 September here: https://www.shore.nsw.edu.au/curriculum/holiday-workshops

Boys will not be required to wear School uniform.

Boys are not encouraged to drive to the School for the workshops, as they will not be allowed to park on the School premises and they will need to find alternative parking.

We hope that each boy will participate in the workshops, which, according to boys in the Classes of 1999-2021, contributed well to their success in the HSC examinations.
