Senior Studies

Senior students at Newcastle High School have dedicated staff, specialist spaces and extracurricular activities to enhance their opportunity for HSC excellence. There are a number of initiatives we have introduced this year to support students and even more are being planned for 2022.

Senior Study Space

Year 12 students have an area especially assigned for them to engage in private study. Once building works are completed in 2022 this area, will be situated in the library on the ground level and will be staffed by a wide variety of specialist teachers. Students will also have access to a bank of laptops and other resources including books, past HSC papers and online study programs.

Bringing Out Your Best

This is a school-based program which aims to encourage students to gain support, from a teacher of their choice, towards achieving their best HSC outcome. Mentors for the current Year 12 will provide their students with guidance on ‘work life balance issues’, refer students to specialist teachers such as the LAST, Careers Advisor, Wellbeing team or external services, if the need arises. Mentors may also provide advice on the productive use of a student’s time in preparing for their remaining assessment tasks, Trial and ultimately their HSC Examination, as well as reflecting on assessment and exam performances. The mentor sessions will be of an informal nature. The mentor and mentees will ‘catch up’ at school within school time.

This is hosted by the English faculty in Room 13 every Thursday morning from 8 am until 8.45 am. It provides Year 12 students with the opportunity to gain personalised tutoring and guidance in English. It includes a light breakfast tea - hot chocolate, fruit, raison toast and occasionally home baked treats ... but more important, is the assistance of our dedicated English teachers.

Covid Smart protocols may impact on the availability of this initiative and students will be advised of any changes.
