Overview
The Matrix Year 12 Physics Units 3/4 Holiday Accelerated Course is an intensive 9-day program that gives students a full term’s head start. In just two weeks, students cover an entire aspect of the VIC syllabus, gaining the clarity and confidence needed to excel when school resumes.
Through daily 3-hour lessons, students build a solid understanding of key concepts such as mechanics, electromagnetism, nuclear physics, as well as light and matter. Each lesson combines expert teaching, guided practice, and exam-style problem solving to strengthen both conceptual knowledge and application skills.
By the end of the course, students not only gain clarity and confidence in Physics but also develop exam readiness and independent study habits that support long-term VCE success.

Benefits
1. Early Mastery of Core VCE Physics Concepts
Mechanics, electromagnetism, nuclear physics, light and matter taught ahead of school for a strong foundation.
2. Stronger Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills
Daily practice with multi-step, VCE-style Physics questions that demand both conceptual understanding and precise calculations.
3. Assessment Confidence
Daily practice, structured homework, and end-of-module topic tests build confidence under assessment conditions.
4. Clear Head Start for Term Assessments and Trials
Learning the content before school starts frees up time during the term for revision, practice papers, and focus on other VCE subjects.
5. Independent Study Habits
Regular practice, feedback, and progress tracking help students develop habits that support long-term academic success.
Approach
Structured Acceleration
In just 9 days, students complete an entire topic of VCE Physics content before it is taught at school. This gives them a clear academic edge, reducing stress during the term and freeing up valuable time for revision and focus on other VCE subjects.
Teaching Approach
Lessons are delivered by expert Physics teachers using clear explanations, step-by-step worked examples, and explicit instruction. Students reinforce their understanding with guided practice, exam-style questions, and targeted feedback that builds both confidence and precision.
Content Mix
Each lesson balances theory with application. Students gain conceptual clarity in challenging topics, then practise applying their knowledge to multi-step, VCE-style exam questions. This ensures they can transfer learning directly to school assessments and exams.
9-Day Sequencing
The course runs across two weeks, with 9 intensive sessions and a weekend break for consolidation. Each day builds on the last, promoting continuity, retention, and confidence. By the end of the program, students have mastered the full term’s content and can shift their focus to exam preparation during the school term.

Matrix Physics classes have allowed me to pick up concepts faster and retain information better. I was also supported by knowledgeable teachers and had reliable resources to look back on. Matrix ensures that students not only understand the HSC content, but comprehend the reasoning and important foundations behind it as well.
North Sydney Girls High School
Matrix was honestly one of the best tutoring places I have ever been to. It was only through the experienced tutors and their brilliant guidance I was able to achieve Band 6’s in all my subjects and achieve a 99+ ATAR. I thank you Matrix and I cannot be anymore grateful.
Complex concepts were taught and visualised very well through diagrams and annotations. The work books also had exam accurate questions that helped with exposure and knowing how to respond to harder variations.
Knox Grammar School
Matrix emphasises the use of flowcharts for structured Physics learning. As a visual learner, flowcharts allow me to process information and categorise the steps for experiments in a sequential manner!
St George Girls' High School
Matrix has covered course content in a way which is uncomplicated and less daunting than other places. Instead of needless extension topics, Matrix focuses on helping us to understand the core Physics principles to answer challenging exam questions.
Sydney Boys High School
I chose to attend the Matrix Physics Holiday Course to help me maintain my study momentum. It meant I felt much more confident when going back to school. Also, learning content first at Matrix is extremely effective as you can spend more time during the term revising and perfecting skills for exams.
Sydney Girls High School
The Matrix Year 12 Physics Holiday Course allows me to familiarise myself with the course content a term ahead so that when I return to school I am confident with what I am learning. The Matrix theory book provides a great balance of theory, examples and practical applications. It acts as both a textbook that I can learn off, and notes that I can consolidate and revise throughout the term.
Sydney Girls High School
