To lower the load on Sunday, we're starting new year 12 classes on Saturday for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Maths Ext1 & Ext2 at Parramatta. Year 9 times have also been moved to Saturdays. Check our Parramatta timetable for the new times.
Note: the new Saturday classes for Physics, Chemistry and Biology will be starting at the very beginning of the HSC course so newcomers won't have to worry about missing out on the first few classes.
Existing Sunday classes are not affected by these changes.
We're excited to announce that we will be starting a new branch in the Sydney CBD, just 5 minutes walk from Central Station. Classes at our new branch will start in Term 4. New students who enrol at our new branch will receive a 10% discount to all their fees for Term 4, on top of any other discount we may offer. New students are free to attend a Free Trial lesson before deciding to enrol.

Term 2 2011 starts on the 30th of April for year 12 and the 1st of May for years 10 and 11.
Our Summer Holiday Courses will run from the 13th to the 16th of January 2011 and will cover aspects of the course that will be helpful to your half yearlies at the end of Term 1 / early Term 2. These courses will be of benefit to existing and new students alike, as content is taught in a different way (exam-focused) as the yearly courses.
English Advanced: this course will focus on essay writing skills specific to the Modules and dealing with Paper 2 style exam questions. As AOS should be covered and assessed by your school in Term 4 2010, your half yearlies and future assessments will deal with the Modules, and you will be required to respond in the form of essays in most of your assessments.
Physics, Chemistry, Biology: these courses will review the first module (most students have covered this in Term 4 at school) and provide an overview of the second module, with a focus on the important aspects of this module. Your half yearlies will examine content from these first two modules, so early preparation gives you a competitive advantage.
Mathematics: our maths courses (2 unit, Ext I & II) will cover topics most likely to appear in half yearlies, with a focus on exam technique and dealing with exam-style questions. In addition to a theoretical overview, we'll show you the trickiest parts of each topic from real exam questions and the best ways to solve them.
All students will receive comprehensive summary notes (different to the Yearly Course materials). Our holiday course notes are designed for exam preparation and will be an excellent study aid for your half yearlies and other school assessments. As with all of Dux College's materials, these will be professionally written, easy to understand, and features illustrations and diagrams.
Each course will consist of 4x 3 hour lessons over the 4 days of 13th to 16th of January 2011. Total of 12 contact hours per course.
