About Our Workshops

The main purpose of our workshops is to give students essential information and skills that they would not normally gain from their schools. We believe that in order to have the best education, students need to develop and learn the key ways to study as well as process information. It is more than just learning what’s in the syllabus. It is about knowing the fundamental approaches to learning. Our workshops are fun, engaging and enjoyable for both students and parents.

Workshops Description

The HSC Success Blueprint

  • What: Breaking down how the ATAR is calculated and clearly demonstrating ways in which students can use this information to set goals. Not many students are familiar with how the ATAR works and how it relates to what their marks are at school, so having that demystified will greatly benefit them.
  • Who:  Yr 9-12 students as well as their parents
  • Run by:  trained S4S tutors who had achieved outstanding ATARs of 99+

Time & Stress Management

  • What: These workshops are aimed at helping students develop key skills in self time management and organisation. Students are not normally taught at school how to manage their studying, leading them to fall behind and become stressed. Knowing these essential skills will make their studies more stress free. They will also become more prepared for their exams, and stay motivated.
  • Who: All current high school students as well as students going into high school.
  • Run by:  trained S4S tutors who had achieved outstanding ATARs of 99+

Effective Study & Exam Preparation

  • What: Showing students the best methods and approaches for studying all subjects. We also teach exam preparation tips that have been proven to work amongst our own students. The workshop also aims to give students the confidence to succeed through being prepared and studying effectively
  • Who: All current high school students as well as students going into high school.

Other Workshops

  • Yr6-7 & Yr10-11 Transition Workshops: Setting expectations for students either moving onto high school, or moving onto their senior years. We provide tips on what students can do to prepare themselves and excel in their studies. We also work with parents to show them how they can support their child. The Transition Workshops feature a panel of current and ex-students who will be sharing their experiences and answering questions.
  • Maths & English Workshops: Focus on the two core subjects of High School. We will be breaking down the core skills necessary to succeed in these subjects. The skills will be for studying the subjects as well as for preparing for the exams. The workshops will feature a specialist S4S tutor sharing their secrets of success.
  • Career Workshops: Explaining the need to set goals and finding a career path. We then help students form steps to achieving their goals. There is also an introduction into the different career options after high school. It will feature our tutors who are currently studying a variety of degrees and will be there to answer questions from both students and parents.
