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.
