Sydney Youth Orchestras HSC Summer School 2024

Presented by highly experienced music educators and HSC markers, the HSC Preparatory Course at SYO Summer School is specifically designed to assist students in Years 10, 11 & 12 (in 2024) to prepare for and polish their understanding of HSC Music 2 & Music Extension in a focused, supportive and engaging environment. 

"A great experience getting to work one on one with accompanists and get specialist teachers who could coax us through the do's and don'ts when it came to past papers, as well as meet likeminded students eager to learn as much as possible." - Cordelia

HSC Summer School will specifically focus on HSC Composition and Musicology requirements, giving students the opportunity to develop their understanding of these two core syllabus areas.* 

The 2024 HSC Summer School will be presented by:

John Ockwell - Conductor of SYO's Peter Seymour Orchestra, Director of Orchestra and Strings at Fort St High School, Co-Conductor of The Arts Unit NSW Public Schools Symphony Orchestra.
