Physics · Full course intensive
HSC Physics rewards students who can connect concepts, diagrams, data and mathematical relationships in unfamiliar contexts. This workshop brings Modules 5–8 together through guided calculation, data-analysis and extended-response practice, including the Working Scientifically skills integrated through the HSC paper.
Best for
Year 12 Physics students who know much of the course but want a clearer approach to multi-step calculations, data and practical questions, unfamiliar scenarios and precise scientific explanations.
Aligned to the 2026 HSC
Physics Stage 6 Syllabus (2017)
The 2026 HSC Physics examination is based on the 2017 syllabus. The replacement 2025 syllabus begins Year 12 in Term 4, 2027 and has its first HSC examination in 2028.

The Year 12 course
The day connects the Year 12 course with the examination skills students need to apply it.
Module 5
Connect projectile motion, circular motion, gravitational fields and motion in a straight line. Practise using diagrams, vectors, data and equations to build a model and explain a physical situation.
Key language: projectile motion · circular motion · gravitational fields · forces · vectors · kinematics · data analysis
Module 6
Strengthen the links between electric fields, magnetic fields, induction and motors. Practise applying field models, circuit ideas and quantitative relationships in unfamiliar contexts.
Key language: electric fields · magnetic fields · electromagnetic induction · motors · generators · circuits · field models
Module 7
Use wave and quantum ideas to explain light phenomena. Practise ray diagrams, interference, diffraction, special relativity and evidence-based explanations using precise physics language.
Key language: wave model · ray diagrams · interference · diffraction · special relativity · quantum model · evidence
Module 8
Connect astrophysics, cosmology, quantum physics and nuclear physics. Practise interpreting evidence, mathematical relationships and models that explain systems from atomic to universal scale.
Key language: astrophysics · cosmology · quantum physics · nuclear physics · models · evidence · data interpretation
Across the day
01 · Reconnect
Review the concepts, equations, representations and Year 11 knowledge that link Modules 5–8.
02 · Decode
Identify the system, variables, model, evidence and command verb before deciding how to respond.
03 · Plan
Select equations and evidence deliberately, organise full working and plan a clear scientific explanation.
04 · Practise
Attempt objective-response, calculation, data, practical-investigation and extended-response questions.
05 · Refine
Correct weak modelling, calculations and explanations, then check units, graphs and the reasonableness of conclusions.
Practice and feedback
Students work through objective-response, calculation, data-based, practical-investigation and extended-response questions. The teacher models how to identify the model, select equations and evidence, show working and check a conclusion. Students practise, compare approaches and improve their work through live guided feedback.
Recognise the key system and relationships inside unfamiliar wording, diagrams and data.
Use equations, units, significant figures and full working to make quantitative reasoning visible.
Analyse data, uncertainty, validity, reliability and limitations in practical-investigation questions.
Connect evidence, models and precise terminology to a conclusion that answers the question.
Included with the workshop
Every student receives concise module notes, HSC-style practice questions, calculation and graph frameworks, practical-investigation prompts, common-error checks and space to annotate worked approaches.
Clear reminders of central concepts, relationships and scientific language across Modules 5–8.
Questions spanning objective-response, practical-investigation, quantitative and extended-response decisions.
Practical structures for modelling a situation, selecting an equation, showing working and checking conclusions.
Teacher modelling, live guided feedback, questions and a focused room for comparing useful solution paths.

Marking insights and exemplars
The workshop focuses on the practical-investigation skills assessed in written HSC questions: interpreting methods and data, evaluating uncertainty and limitations, and proposing justified improvements. It is not advertised as a laboratory practical session.
Yes. The workshop uses the Physics Stage 6 Syllabus (2017), which remains the syllabus examined for the 2026 HSC. The replacement 2025 syllabus is first examined in 2028.
Year 12 students preparing for their final school assessments and the 2026 HSC examinations.
Bring a laptop or tablet if you use one for study, writing materials, water and lunch. Your workshop resources are provided.
Building, room and arrival instructions are sent by email with the ticket and again before the workshop.
