SCHOLARSHIP PREPARATIONIncluding Preparation for ACCELERATED LEARNING PROGRAMMES

AND HIGH ACHIEVER PROGRAMMES

Year 6

2017 / 2018

Welcome to Hendersons Educational Services.

Since 1990, we have been helping higher achieving students perform at their best and assisting them on their path to success. We are specialists in preparing students for exams and have delivered consistently superior results for our clients over the last twenty-eight years. We look forward to sharing our knowledge, resources and passion for excellence in education with your family.

All Hendersons teaching staff are experienced and highly qualified teachers. They are carefully selected to ensure our philosophy and exemplary teaching standards are maintained.

Our programs are conducted over a limited period of time as we believe that students will retain the information better and be more able to build on what they have learnt.

The groups are made up of like-minded students so that the sessions flow and cater to their specific needs. The content and approach of our workshops and practice exams are based on the types of papers found in the actual exams your child will be sitting.

This book is relevant for students who are sitting an exam when they are in Year 6.

KEY Indivdual student result National Average

Does your child have the potential to achieve a scholarship?

School feedback

Your child’s teachers have probably made comments like: · is an eager reader, · provides very alert, rapid answers to questions, · has a wide range of interests, · displays a great curiosity, especially for new things, · uses a lot of commonsense, · has an interest in cause-effect relationships, · has higher than usual powers of concentration.

NAPLAN resultsAnother indicator will be your child’s NAPLAN results.

Students who are suitable for our workshops will generally score in the top triangle (top 5% of Victorian students) or in Band 8 (the next 10% of Victorian students) in Reading and Numeracy. These basic skills need to be at a very high standard when considering workshops for competitive exams.

Educational Assessment by HendersonsIf you are uncertain whether your child should sit a scholarship or entrance exam, then an individual Educational Assessment will assist in providing you with clarity. They take three hours, including up to fifteen minutes feedback and cost $300. Please refer to our Information Booklet, our website or call the office on 9813 0277 for more information.

Below is an example of the schools for which ACER, AAS and Edutest wrote exams in 2017 for students at these levels.

NOTE: You must find out the examining body. Schools may change from year to year. Historical data displayed is for information purposes only.

The Hendersons workshops that we recommend are dependent on the schools that your child is trying to gain entry or a scholarship to, hence the company who writes the test on their behalf is an important piece of information.

TYPES OF WORKSHOPS OFFEREDCreative Writing- ACER, EDUTEST, AAS, ACER HASTOur emphasis here is on the structure of an essay, the use of expressive language and the way to respond to an illustration or other prompts.

Opinion Writing- ACER, AAS (some schools), ACER HAST (some schools)Our emphasis here is on the organisation of this type of essay, the use of effective language and the way to express a point of view.

Mathematics- ACER, EDUTEST, AAS, ACER HASTWe focus on Maths problem solving and exam technique. These workshops are not about training in the basic processes of Mathematics. Students entering for Scholarships should already be proficient at Maths.This is why we do pre-testing before a Maths class (see page 12).

There are two stages in solving any problem. · Analysis – What is this problem really about?

What data does the question have which may help solve it? · Strategies – The skills that will help to solve the problem.

Reading Comprehension- ACER, EDUTEST, AAS, ACER HASTA half day course to teach students the skills of inferential reading, as well as how to interpret maps, diagrams, charts and illustrations.

Verbal Reasoning- EDUTEST, AASA half-day course to teach our techniques to see the relationships and solve problems using words and language, including verbal analogies, synonyms, antonyms and logical reasoning.

Numerical Reasoning- EDUTEST, AASA half-day course to teach our techniques to solve problems using numbers. These tests include missing numbers, worded problems and logical reasoning.

Abstract Reasoning- AAS, ACER HAST (some schools)A half-day course to teach our techniques on how to address and solve these puzzle type papers.

Practice Exams These are fundamental to our program. Every practice exam comes with complete performanceanalysis (in a group) with detailed explanations for every answer. We provide you with the most authentic testing experience outside of the actual exam as students adhere to strict exam conditions. Results are handed back to students and parents within 15 minutes of the conclusion of the exam with written explanations. Following comprehensive group analysis, individual consultations with correctors are available to further discuss feedback for written essays.

We strongly recommend booking at least one practice exam for students to become familiar with the expectations and time management required.

See page 23 for dates and prices of practice exams.

MATERIALS: We do not supply or sell our materials under any circumstances. Students who are absent from a session will not receive the material.

Our courses are specifically designed to teach exam techniques to able students.

We aim to help by:

~ filling the gaps in their experience,~ developing different ways of thinking,~ improving their confidence,~ giving them the opportunity to enjoy a challenging educational experience,~ encouraging responsibility for their own learning as part of a lifetime development.

To fully prepare for scholarship exams, we recommend that you undertake the following:

Scotch College writes its own exams. The format, in the past, has been similar to ACER with the addition of a Verbal Reasoning paper. To accommodate this requirement, we offer a Verbal Reasoning workshop in addition to a Verbal Reasoning paper at our practice exams.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When do I need to pay? What if my child is sick or cannot attend?

You must pay for the first session or any bookings for the current month at the time of booking. We do offer a $20 discount for all bulk payments of each $500. Otherwise, fees are payable on the 1st of the month in which the workshop is scheduled.

We will endeavour to arrange a replacement date for any absences. As Saturdays and Sundays are generally fully booked, you will be placed on a waiting list for the other groups.

Please note that a cancellation charge may be applicable.

Many other companies offer longer programmes. Does Hendersons?

What feedback do the parents get?

Yes. Our English classes are called Snapshots and our Maths is called Intro to Problem Solving. See page 29 for more information on these courses.

Parents are given group feedback by the teacher after the end of the workshop or exam. Parents are required to be in the classroom for the last fifteen minutes of each session. Eg. 12:15pm for 12:30pm finish.

Why are there half days and full days? What are the workshop times?

For students of this age we find that after two or three hours of concentration, teaching and learning becomes less effective.

Reading Comprehension is only available as a whole day because the momentum of discussion would be lost if interrupted.

Whole day 9:15 am to 3:30 pmHalf Day (AM) 9:00 am to 12:30 pmHalf Day (PM) 1:00 pm to 4:30 pmA six session Maths class is for 2 1/2 hours from 8:15am, 9:45am, 11:15am, 1:15pm or 2:30pm.

Lunch and morning tea are provided for whole days. Morning or afternoon tea is provided for 2 1/2 hour or half day workshops.

My child is an avid reader, does he/she need to do Reading Comprehension?

What are the office hours?

That’s great. It is an imperative component as it will have definitely helped with their vocabulary. Our workshop develops those existing skills and teaches techniques to infer answers from text, maps, diagrams, charts and illustrations.

Monday to Friday from 9:30am to 5:30pm

Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm (school holidays)

Saturdays from 8.30am to 4.30pm

You can email us at any time at [email protected]

Why do you do workshops by groups? Can I just do one workshop?

Because it works. Bright children like to interact with and will learn from others of a similar intellectual level.

Yes, though we do recommend all workshops be undertaken for your child to be fully prepared. If you were to do just one thing, then it should be a Practice Exam.

Will doing the workshops get my child a scholarship or place?

What is your track record?

We believe that what we offer will greatly aid the successful attainment of a scholarship or placement interview. Remember that the best actor did not always get the role on the first attempt.

We have had a consistent percentage of our students winning scholarship interviews. Over the last several years, we have had more than half of our students, each year, achieve their goal of a scholarship or entry to a selective class.

Our Maths courses are focused on problem solving and exam technique. These workshops are not about training in the basic process of Mathematics.

We offer two different schedules for completing our Maths workshop. Both courses are the same number of hours and the same content is covered.

4 session schedule - 4 sessions of 3.5 hours each.6 session schedule - 6 sessions of 2.5 hours each.

The 6 session schedule allows the students to absorb and consolidate the material presented over a longer time frame which may be suitable for students who find Maths concepts more challenging. Families should choose the best option after receiving the results of the Maths pre-test.

PRE-TESTING $60 fully refunded if the child is enrolled in the Maths workshop after this date.

All students will be tested prior to commencing these workshops to ensure they are at a proficient level in order to gain value from our courses. Parents are required to stay during the session, as an explanation will be given regarding the test results while the testing is happening. Results and group feedback will be available immediately after the session.

You must select and attend a Maths pre-test date before the first date of your selected Maths workshop.

Essay Correction Service

We will set the topics for your child to complete at home. Under your supervision, this will reinforce their current learning. Your child will be provided with addressed envelopes to the corrector, who will then correct the essay and post it back to you along with feedback. We guarantee that the essay will be in the mail within 48 hours of receipt. We have the option of three essays for $90 or six essays for $180. This service is only available to students who have undertaken one of our writing workshops.

Skills & Enrichment Programmes

Hendersons offers Group Workshops with the aim of raising students’ skills in both English and Maths. These are not focused on preparing for exams. Group workshops are conducted on weeknights, weekends and during school holidays with a maximum of eight students. Please refer to the Skills & Enrichment Programmes book for more information, dates and prices.

Individual Tutoring In Maths and English

We do provide additional individual tuition for the workshops at our Hawthorn and Mount Waverley offices.

We only offer our workshops in a group setting, of no more than 8 students, as much of the learning that takes place is reinforced by the interaction between the students in the small group.

Individual tuition is also available for those seeking additional clarity of content covered in workshops. One hour of tuition may be all that is required to turn the light on.

Individual Scholarship and Entrance Exam tuition: · $90 per hour

· All payments must be made prior to first session

· One hour sessions after school are available subject to appointments already made

Tutors are available Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays after school hours. As these tutors also do general tutoring, they are usually fairly heavily booked so appointment times need to be made early.

Interview Preparation

With our years of experience, we have amassed a large number of questions that may be asked in the interview. Please contact our staff for a copy of these questions when you have been called for an interview. We also conduct a one and a half hour mock interview to assist your child. Cost of the interview preparation is $135.

Portfolio Assistance

Some schools ask that potential students prepare a portfolio to present at the time of interview. Our staff will look at your draft and assist with further improvements and recommendations. We do recommend that the first draft be prepared by your child as they will be the one presenting it. The cost depends greatly on the quality of the first draft, though an average time is one to two hours at $90 per hour.
