Overview
The Matrix Year 11 Physics Term Course is a structured 9-week program that teaches the full next term’s content ahead of school. By learning in advance, students gain familiarity, confidence, and the ability to use school lessons as revision rather than first exposure.
Through 9 weekly 1.5-hour lessons, students build a strong foundation in Stage 6 Physics modules including Kinematics, Dynamics, Waves and Thermodynamics, and Electricity and Magnetism. Each lesson blends clear explanations, scaffolded practice, and feedback to ensure students master core concepts and apply them to exam-style problems with accuracy.
With expert teachers, structured resources, and weekly homework review, students steadily develop the problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and scientific confidence needed to succeed in assessments and prepare for Year 12 Physics.

Program
Structured Acceleration
Across 9 weeks, students complete the entire next term’s Physics content before it is taught at school. This proactive approach allows them to engage with challenging concepts such as kinematics, dynamics, waves, and electricity in advance, so school lessons become reinforcement rather than new learning.
Teaching Approach
Each lesson is led by experienced Physics teachers using clear explanations, step-by-step demonstrations, and scaffolded problem solving. Students practise applying laws and formulas to real-world contexts, supported by weekly quizzes and structured homework that consolidate learning and highlight areas for improvement.
Content Mix
Lessons are designed to balance theory with application. About half of the session focuses on building strong conceptual understanding, while the other half applies that knowledge through exam-style questions, calculations, and data analysis tasks. This ensures students can transfer theoretical knowledge to practical and exam conditions.
Course Progression
The term is sequenced to build steadily from foundational to advanced ideas. Weekly reviews and an end-of-term topic test provide checkpoints for progress, helping students consolidate learning, close knowledge gaps, and develop assessment readiness.
