Through a variety of instructional methods, including the use of audio visual material, group activities, and problem-solving exercises, students gain a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and their relevance. The subject's universal language and logical structure make it a cornerstone of a well-rounded education.
In years 7 & 8, students will continue to strengthen the fundamentals of mathematics and prepare to advance into year 9 & 10 where they will take more control of their learning journey.
Math is with us every day! During year 9 & 10, you'll explore how math is used in practical topics like: Give me my money back! Budgeting Basics; Life is a game - play it well and Take a chance!
Senior students will continue to develop algebraic and graphical skills as well as encounter the new ideas of calculus (a topic essential for higher study in physical sciences or engineering). The course also covers aspects of statistics and probability. Students interested in Business, Marketing, and Commerce who are in Years 12 and 13 may also choose to join the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme.
Math is used everyday and it's what we solve puzzles and life's problems with. Math is really the logic and reasoning behind everything we do. If students can think through a problem at home, they can think through a math problem from a book.
Like the Kāhu, look for the opportunity.
The Kāhu or Swamp Hawk watches over this learning space, used by many of our Juniors as a hub for learning and socialising. This space also provides private 'break-out' spaces used individually or collaboratively.
