Thinking Skills Courses

For OC

Unlock the potential of your mind with our Thinking Skills Course, a dual-faced program crafted to develop your cognitive abilities in both mathematical reasoning and critical thinking.

WEMT OCTTC THINKING SKILLS WRITING
Thinking Skills Course

A variety of challenging problem-solving and critical thinking skills questions are covered in the course. Students build their ability to use knowledge, facts, and data to find a problem and its solution. Critical thinking questions will improve their ability to reason through an argument logically, draw a conclusion, assess a situation, recognise assumptions, and evaluate arguments.

What students will study
icon
CRITICAL THINKING

The Critical Thinking Skills module is all about nurturing a questioning mind. Students will learn to evaluate arguments, identify logic, and construct well-reasoned conclusions. We encourage learners to think beyond the surface, to question, and to engage with ideas at a deeper level. The module goes beyond academic skills; it’s about fostering a lifelong ability to think clearly, reason effectively, and make informed decisions.

icon
PROBLEM SOLVING

Problem-solving skills empower students to tackle academic and real-life challenges confidently. Recognising and defining problems is the first step, followed by using analytical skills to break down complex concepts into manageable parts. Strategic planning helps structure approaches for solving equations, and applying relevant formulas, theorems, and techniques is essential for effective solution implementation.

Thank you Pre-Uni New College for your dedication toward us students. Over my past four years at Pre-Uni New College, I’ve been shown what a good tuition company really is, with excellent and well-made questions from STTC and well made textbooks from WEMT. North Sydney Boys High School would’ve been impossible for me without Pre-Uni New College.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cyberschool?

The online educational platform, Cyberschool (www.cyberschool.com.au), is tailored for Pre-Uni New College primary students enrolled in foundation courses. This resource serves as a means for students to obtain supplementary assistance with their homework and review their prior classroom materials. The lessons are delivered by experienced and skilled teachers who have collaborated to design engaging, activity-oriented sessions for your child’s enjoyment. Access to the Cyberschool website is entirely complimentary for students currently enrolled at Pre-Uni New College.

What is S.O.Q?

S.O.Q (Special Online Quiz) comprises a set of review questions strategically created to motivate our students to revisit fundamental principles covered in earlier modules. Cyberschool offers four online quizzes during weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 of the course. This is only available for students enrolled in a foundation course.

Will students see their teachers during online lessons?

Since teachers possess authority over their live online sessions, they will activate their cameras and be clearly visible to students throughout the virtual class. Additionally, teachers will have access to the screen-sharing feature, enabling students to observe content presented by the teacher during the sessions.

Since classes are online, is it possible to join other online classes outside a student’s scheduled class?

Due to a restricted capacity for each class, it is necessary for students to participate in their assigned session.

How do teachers ensure that kids are focused whilst learning?

Educators utilise various methods to captivate students and guarantee their focus during online video lessons. For instance, numerous video classes incorporate interactive learning exercises that prompt students to tackle questions in real time. Nevertheless, it’s vital to acknowledge that the Cyberschool video lessons are designed for self-directed learning. As a result, parental support and guidance are essential.

I’m not able to travel to the branch (or live outside NSW), is there an option of remote learning?

We provide remote or online alternatives based on the specific requirements of our students. Our regular foundation courses are conducted through live online sessions using platforms like Zoom, while our Cyber Course is accessible through our Cyberschool platform.

My child is enrolled in WEMT. What is the recommended online learning routine my child should follow?

Throughout the week, students are anticipated to finalise all the questions within the modules. If they feel the need for additional module clarification, they can utilise the Cyberschool video lessons to revisit module concepts and questions.
