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.
