YEAR 10 COURSES
Year 10 marks a pivotal stage for students as they gear up for the demanding, independent study required in Years 11 and 12. Our Year 10 EMS course is designed to help students achieve their key learning objectives, ensuring they transition into their senior years with confidence and a solid foundation.
What makes us different?
Our Years 7–12 courses are designed as a connected learning journey, helping students build the English, Maths and Science foundations needed for Stage 5, Year 11 and future HSC preparation.
Students are introduced to key concepts before they encounter them at school, giving them more time to understand, practise and gain confidence in class.
Students revisit important skills through classroom lessons, homework, revision and Cyberschool resources, helping them move from basic understanding to confident application.
Through our LMS system, students and parents can better understand progress, strengths and areas that need further improvement, with learning data used to support more targeted guidance.
Our small group learning environment allows teachers to support students more closely, while additional practice, homework, revision materials and online learning support help learning continue beyond weekly lessons.
New College builds balanced academic strength across the core subjects from the start of high school, with Elite and Advanced Maths pathways for students ready for greater challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cyberschool?
Cyberschool (www.cyberschool.com.au) is an online educational platform that provides tailored learning for Pre-Uni students enrolled in our foundation courses. This platform is a source of supplementary resources, providing students with assistance with homework and in-class tasks. Students enrolled at Pre-Uni New College receive complimentary access to engaging, activity-oriented lessons designed by skilled and experienced teachers.
What is S.O.Q?
Special Online Quiz (SOQ) is an online review quiz strategically designed to motivate students to revisit fundamental concepts covered in earlier modules. SOQ is made available on Cyberschool during weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 of the term. Please note that SOQ is only available to students enrolled in a foundations course.
Will students see their teachers during online lessons?
Students should be able to see their teacher during the live online session. In addition to ensuring students maintain their cameras during class, teachers also have access to screen-sharing features, enabling students to observe content presented by teachers in real time.
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 maintain student engagement during online video lessons. This includes incorporating interactive learning exercises that prompt students to tackle questions in real time. It is important to note that parental support is essential when students engage in self-directed learning.
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.
