Here at Talent we’ve amassed a variety of Mentors which have taught and encouraged our students throughout the years – guiding them through high school and the HSC.
We call our teachers and tutors ‘Mentors’ because they deliver more than simply theory. Talent 100 Mentors are all outstanding achievers, but it’s their passion for teaching and mentoring which matters most. Whilst an exceptional academic record is a must, our Mentors are also chosen for their ability to work with students of all levels and provide the pastoral guidance for future success.
Not only do we want to give thanks to these Mentors who have enriched the lives of many at Talent, but want to share their unique personalities and passions while also inspiring the next generation of high school students to strive for their best.

Chris’ Top 5 Study Tips:
Know your syllabus word for word by the exam period (it is possible).
Take breaks every half hour or so (dependant on the individual)
Don’t worry about keeping your notes neat.
Never stay up past 10pm.
Try and study on a full stomach as much as possible. Hunger is a powerful distraction.
