Year 12 Virtual Seminars

Year 12 Virtual Seminars

Our Year 12 Virtual Seminars are specialty revision programs held online via Zoom in the Terms 1, 2 and 3 school holidays.

Our Virtual Seminars are separate from our in-person revision seminars and have a special focus on exam-specific content led by one of our expert teachers. Each two-hour topic is accompanied by exclusive revision notes.

Our Term 3 Virtual Seminar sessions have an exam focus, where each day will cover a different sub-topic from the course as we deconstruct exam style and past-exam questions.

These sessions are open to students of all abilities and also offer an alternative format for rural and remote students who are unable to travel to attend our in-person seminars.

Get in quick! These sessions book out fast.

*Zoom app required for iOS & Android devices or via your preferred browser for PC/Laptop – https://zoom.us/download
Once booked, ATC staff will send your unique link invitation before your session commences.

Please note each booking requires a commitment to all sessions.
