UOW: Your partner in achieving your best in Year 11 & 12
The University of Wollongong (UOW) is committed to providing additional resources and assistance to help students reach their potential in their final years of school.
The Year 11 & 12 Subject Support Sessions is designed to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of key subject content and discover what HSC exam markers are looking for.
In conjunction with InspirationED, experienced HSC teachers/markers and UOW staff will be running subject revision programs across May, June and July for current Year 11 and Year 12 students.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive tips and strategies directly from the most qualified and experienced HSC markers in NSW.
You can choose the specific subjects you want to focus on, and we've got both online and in-person sessions to fit your schedule. Feel free to attend as many sessions as you'd like (yep, you can even join them all!). Plus, each session—whether online or in-person—will cover different content, so you'll be getting a fresh perspective every time!
And here’s the cherry on top: all webinars and bootcamps are completely FREE! For our brand new science 'Intensive' in Physics, we've kept the cost very low at $11 to help cover student lunches and materials. PLUS, all attendees will receive an example exam paper with exemplar responses, so you can see exactly what top-tier answers look like and how to nail your own!
