Mathematics
Across our extensive Maths program, students are taught a range of skills, from essential numeracy skills to advanced mathematical and critical thinking skills.
Year 7 and 8
Mathematics equips students with important concepts and skills to develop as successful learners. In Year 7 and 8, our students develop an understanding of the role of mathematics in life, society and work. Through problem solving and inquiry, students learn how to apply mathematical processes and mathematical reasoning across a range of topics.
We aim for students to be confident in their knowledge and application of mathematical concepts and to be successful numerate citizens.
Year 9 and 10
The flexibility of our timetable allows students to select a Maths course that best caters for their stage of learning. We encourage students to reflect on their learning and choose the course that will build on the success they have already achieved, as demonstrated through their evidence of learning.
The courses have been designed to support different pathways, so it is important that students understand the implications of their choice. Students may alter their pathway, as required, if they are able to demonstrate readiness for a particular subject. Optional learning units may be provided to support students, in their own time, to provide evidence of learning.
