Holiday Course | Year 12 Biology

Overview

Holiday Course overview

The Matrix Year 12 Biology Holiday Accelerated Course is an intensive 9-day program designed to give students a full term’s head start in HSC Biology. Across two weeks, students complete an entire module of the NSW Stage 6 Biology syllabus before school resumes, giving them the advantage of confidence, clarity, and exam readiness.

Through daily 3-hour lessons, students deepen their understanding of advanced topics such as heredity, genetic change, infectious disease, and non-infectious disorders. Each lesson combines expert teaching, guided practice, and HSC-style problem solving to ensure students can apply their knowledge in both assessments and the HSC exam.

By the end of the course, students not only gain mastery of complex biological concepts but also strengthen their analytical, evaluative, and exam-writing skills. With expert teachers, small classes, and high-quality resources, students develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to excel in Year 12 Biology and beyond.

What our
Year 12 Biology students say

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.
F
Frank Chan
Highly recommend Matrix to all students, as I was recently struggling in Biology, however once I enrolled in Matrix it helped condense the knowledge and understanding of the topic better, and boosted my marks and general interest in the subject. Highly recommend, really reliable to depend on.

Matthew Bechara
St Patrick's College, Strathfield
Year 12 Biology has helped me learn a lot of content in a way that is easy to understand and memorise. It has allowed me to go over difficult concepts, and gives exam style questions and responses to help me learn. Since I use Matrix+, the Q&A boards have cleared up any confusion regarding the topics covered.

Anhad Kaur
I love Matrix Year 12 Biology because it provides me with in-depth insights into the course. The environment is fun and friendly and my teacher is very knowledgable!
