Maths Department News
With Term 3 nearly over, I would like to acknowledge the hard work in mathematics from our students and teaching team. Teachers are regularly in their D block classrooms early before school and during each lunch break helping students. The culture for students to strive for their very best is clear to see. Well done!
Maths Club
Maths club is tracking nicely. We have welcomed many new faces, particularly from Year 10 and 11. This is a valuable support structure for our students and we cater for all students from Years 7 to 12.
I would invite all students to come and visit and see what they think. We have many mathematics teachers and students giving up their time to work on assessment, homework and exam preparation. It is always wonderful to be part of such a positive environment. Maths Club is in room D18/19 every Tuesday afternoon – 2:30 to 3:30 pm.
Year 11 Maths 2022
We are very pleased to see the large number of students who have reached our subject prerequisites to study our 4 Mathematics subjects in Year 11 next year. Our most challenging subject – Specialist Mathematics has the greatest number of students in the past 6 years – a testament to the high expectations we place on students, their powerful work ethic and outstanding teaching in Year 7 to 10 Mathematics. Well done!
Calculators and Devices
I will take the opportunity to remind students and families about our high expectations surrounding equipment in Mathematics. All students must have a calculator every lesson – and for exams. Phones can not be used as calculators in class or for exams - for obvious reasons.
It has been pleasing to see so many of our students accessing Daymap and Edperfect on their devices.
