Hey all!! Have you guys got your appointments booked to check out our new VCE Centre?

It's going to be INCREDIBLE. I'm working from the new Centre right now and it's seriously just state-of-the-art. 400sqm big (which is huge), RIGHT NEXT to the State Library, I think it's going to seriously shake up the way people get tutoring for VCE.

Basically, our new program (feel free to ask questions) will:

- have 90 minute tutoring sessions every week at our City location
- have ever session recorded so you can watch it again
- be open to students after schools and on weekends, with the Centre always being fully staffed by roaming tutors (at no extra cost) to provide consistent guidance to all students.
- have it's own online learning system to host class notes, original practise exams and other super unique resources written specifically for ATAR Notes students.
- be cheaper than the average private tutor!!!!!!!!

This is just going to be an amazing place, even just to have AN meetups and chill etc... ridiculously exciting.

Obviously, if you ARE interested in the program, book a time to see the Centre and learn more about the benefits. Feel free to chuck your questions in this thread etc - I cannot wait to open this Centre :D
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

Okay, so I've actually seen this new centre and my first thoughts were basically, holy crap, I wish I had something like this for this year and wow, the view is pretty fkn amazing*. ^_^

Being my completely honest self, I would definitely recommend this *exciting* (cue my hype, hahaha) initiative, especially as I see and envisage that this is definitely going to be a complete game changer, just basing my prior experiences with the lectures! ;)

Probably all the subjects we have notes for + Further, but that's subject to demand and whatever else!

Yeah, please feel free to drop in!! Maybe message first because we still aren't 100% in the new office yet and it would suck if no one were there!

On Year 11 subjects... we're currently only planning to do Year 12 but if there's enough demand there's a solid chance we might run, say, Year 11 Methods or Chem or something hey. Great question, something we'll have to evaluate

YAY! This sounds awesome ;D I'd love to drop by some time.

Will there be any opportunities- volunteering or otherwise- to get involved in this great initiative? :)

Hosting Year 11 sessions as well sounds like a great idea. It's the year warming you up for 12, and for a lot of the subjects (or at least the odd mix I have chosen) their content is identical between the years.
I can't wait to check this place out though. It'll be brilliant to see the sexy view, the sexy people, and the sexy lectures. Let the good notes keep rollin', Brenden.

I've got a question that I think would make finding the past recorded lectures brilliantly easy - can those booking in for lectures come in using their AtarNOTES usernames? It might be something to look at, just to have the recording of the lecture sent to their account/email after it's finished.

As Brenden said, this is probably the biggest project ATAR Notes has had up their sleeve yet.
I've been to the tute centre, and I can confirm that you get a killer view :D I will need to take a shot of it and post it somewhere, sometime! You'll have to see it to believe it.

Personally I'm looking forward to working at this new ATAR Notes HQ as a tutor and part of the team next year - the facilities there are absolutely amazing! This is definitely going to have a serious impact on the traditional concept of 'tutoring'.

Feel free to post any ideas, suggestions, or burning questions you may have - student input is always highly valued here :)

I wish I could go back in time and do Year 12 again (okay, slightly hyperbolic), what with the availability of stuff like this. Like, it's actually incredible to think about how ridiculously fantastic this thing will be.

This is going to revolutionise tutoring as we know it, and I think it's a pretty gosh darn exciting prospect to be involved with that if you get the chance.

If you're reading this and you're a Year 11 going into Year 12, you should very seriously get on board.

This sounds like an absolutely amazing idea and if I'm being honest, I'm a little jealous that I didn't have this in my year (even if I'm glad as hell to be free from the shackles of Year 12). Like seriously, this sounds ridiculously amazing. AN, you've seriously outdone yourself this time.

Hey! This sounds awesome!
I'm a year 11 and I'm doing year 12 next year, although I've already finished exams and started my year 12 subjects this year. I was wondering how much it costs to come to the building and study?

Thanks! :)

This is exciting as, but I'm not going to forget that the core of ATARNotes is these forums and our supportive, inclusive, generous, awesome community!  If you're worried that they're going to go down the drain a bit as AN gets more, uh, commercial - I promise you nothing will change except that they'll get bigger and better ;)

To be really honest with you - this is one of my concerns (more and more commercialisation). But in saying that I can understand it and hope the grass roots of AN isn't forgotten about. I really do hope it's a success though - a great centre with access to top notch people.. better $$ going to us than those purely for profits, I guess :)

The success of ATAR Notes as a company geared towards accessible education shouldn't be concerning to the online ATAR Notes community. Really it is the opposite that should be true. The big push into NSW (and continued success in Victoria) quadrupled previous forum traffic records. The community looks better now than ever before.

The way I see it, ATAR Notes has gone from a thriving online community, to an even more thriving online community that also has the ability to offer free lectures to thousands of students, and is now also making sure that face-to-face help is as accessible as it possibly can be.

One of the core goals for AN has always been increasing the accessibility of education. Making sure every student has a place they can go for support from their peers, and for access to resources they can use to enable their success. Now, we're doing that in so many ways beyond just on the forums. To me, there is no absolutely no downside to that kind of expansion, and it will only make the community even better as more and more people come aboard :)
