Review Preparing for entry

I did not do any specific preparation solely for the entrance exam. However, in the years leading up to the exam, I took tutoring classes including both private and public ones like Kumon. As the exam tested academic areas including writing and mathematics skills, I would say tutoring was especially helpful.

I think there was after school help on a few days with tutors from uni so they could get help from there, help from teachers honestly depends on how much they want to help because I know some teachers wouldn’t help outside of class time or say to study independently however if you had a good teacher sometimes they would start class 30mins early for anyone seeking extra help.

The teachers are really great for extra support. There is a list of alumni tutors that teachers send out, including me :). That are great at understanding the subject and the assessments. Teachers also are great at giving specific feedback to help students improve. They will often have workshops and study sessions towards exams and consultations around assignments periods. They are also very open to emailing with all your worries and questions.

There was no tutors, only select teachers available on select days at this thing they called 'homework club.' Never used that resource, peer mentoring got me through school.

During exam blocks, teachers in maths and science had after school tutoring available for students' pressing questions. English and humanities teachers were always keen to look over feedback and were always welcoming for students to discuss their work. Numeracy and literacy programs were available in year 11 to prepare us for year 12 Most importantly, teachers believed in their students. They knew when to be serious to tell us to get our head in the game, but also kind enough to be encouraging. They were all about student learning and always aimed to help out students in every aspect.

There was maths tutoring once a week which was helpful, plus homework club once a week too. Generally teachers were open to help if you asked for it before or after school, but obviously that depends on the teacher.

Teachers were generally approachable and willing to help if you reached out. There were also lunchtime tutorials and study sessions for subjects like Maths and English, which made a big difference. Some teachers went out of their way to check in or explain things one-on-one, but you did have to take the initiative. Peer support and study groups were pretty common too.

This really helped me narrow down what I wanted to study and eventually what field I wanted to work in. I feel that even if you didn't take the uni route you were also supported as there were many programs you could do if you didn't want an atar such as trades etc.

Teachers were extremely accessible and open to supporting students. Many subject clubs were ran by teachers including Maths Club, English Study and Science Club, where students could come in at lunchtime or after school and spend time with teachers going through problems or understanding content. It was a very open space, with lots of group work and one-on-one mentoring available. On top of that, the school had many other opportunities available for students who didn't want to pursue an academic pathway. The vocational department was exceptional at organising TAFE courses, internships, work placements, apprenticeships and certificates and qualifications that allowed students to move straight into full-time work after graduating. Overall, struggling students had a plethora of resources and support from both students and staff for academic and non-academic pathways.

Students had a lot of access to help at my high school. Many teachers were available to help after classes, and were contactable through email. There was also weekly homework help in the library. Many students relied on each other for help in most cases.
