Holiday Workshops

Holiday Workshops will be offered from Monday 25 September, to Year 12 boys for the upcoming school holidays. These have proven successful in providing boys with structure that complements their individual study programmes.  

Each three-hour Holiday Workshop session will consist of coverage of important HSC topics in that subject. A mix of strategies will be used in order to maximise learning: revision lecture, structured tutorial and discussion. Workshops will generally be limited to a minimum of seven and a maximum of approximately 20 boys. A fee of $70 (incl GST) will be charged per workshop, which represents excellent value compared to externally run HSC lecture courses. Boys are encouraged strongly to make good use of the workshops and are expected to stay until the end 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 may choose as many sessions as they like. Every attempt will be made to accommodate all boys, but it might be necessary to restrict the number of boys in a particular workshop, depending upon demand. This will be done on a first come, first serve basis. 

Charges will be made to the next fee statement on a no-refund basis.   

A list of all available workshops is available through the school’s portal, Lampada.

Boys will not be required to wear school uniforms.

Boys are not encouraged to drive to school for the workshops. However, if they do drive, they are not allowed 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 at the HSC examinations.
