Teaching for Impact (TFI) VCE Physics Revision Lecture Series

Saturday, 16 October – Saturday, 30 October

Hope everyone is keeping well amid COVID and exam study!

By way of introduction, my name is Victor, a junior doctor based in Melbourne with a passion for reducing health and educational inequities in the community. Recently, I, along with several of my colleagues, cofounded Teaching for Impact (TFI), a youth-led, not-for-profit organisation that seeks to create meaningful impact within the community through the delivery of targeted educational initiatives designed to improve educational outcomes and close the gap of inequity for disadvantaged students.

TFI currently runs several programs designed to support both high school students and medical students in their studies. Over the past few months, the TFI VCE team has been hard at work preparing a series of end-of-year online revision lectures in the hope of helping VCE students across the state consolidate all the knowledge that they have learnt throughout this year and provide critical insight into how they can apply this knowledge to achieve their full potential in the final VCE exams.

VCE Physics

TFI will be running 3 VCE Physics lectures this month. Each lecture will be delivered by experienced tutors with a strong physics background, including recent VCE graduates who scored a raw study score of 50 in VCE Physics. These lectures have been designed to provide students with crucial insight into how they can translate all the knowledge and skills that they have acquired this year to excel in the end-of-year exam.

The lecture schedule is as follows:

VCE Physics Lecture 1: Unit 3 – Special Relativity, Circular Motion and Fields

• Date: Saturday, 16 October
• Time: 12.00 PM to 1.30 PM
• Lecturer: Lasitha Weerarante, a practising structural engineer, who scored full marks in his year 12 physics papers and attended the prestigious Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (ranked amongst the top 5 Universities in the world for engineering)
• Register: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=812753&

VCE Physics Lecture 2: Unit 4 – Uncertainty Principle, Photoelectric Effect, and Electron Diffraction

• Date: Saturday, 23 October
• Time: 12.00 PM to 1.30 PM
• Lecturer: Lasitha Weerarante, a practising structural engineer, who scored full marks in his year 12 physics papers and attended the prestigious Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (ranked amongst the top 5 Universities in the world for engineering); Haiwei Wang, a Bachelor of Science student majoring in Mathematical Physics; and Jay Rahul, a Master of Engineering student majoring in Mechanical Engineering
• Register: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=812761&

VCE Physics Lecture 3: Unit 4 – Mechanical Waves, Light as a Wave, and Practical Investigation

Live4Life

The TFI VCE English Lecture Series will be run as a fundraising initiative to support Live4Life, a registered health promotion charity that delivers accredited teen and youth mental health first aid training in regional and rural communities. We share in Live4Life’s belief in the importance of reducing stigma around mental health and promoting young leaders as mental health ambassadors, and invite all high school students across Victoria to join us in our campaign to make a meaningful contribution toward this worthy cause.

While we do not have any mandatory registration fees for our lectures, we do encourage all students to make a donation in good faith, however small, to this worthy cause when registering for each lecture. A contribution from each student, even as little as $5 (the price of a cup of coffee), can collectively make a world of difference for the vulnerable youths in Victoria that we are hoping to support.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
