Mathematics
Years 7 - 8
More practical approach performing more investigations.
In year 8 the students do a ‘PIPette’ (Personal Interest Project) which is an interest investigation requiring discussion of the maths supporting this interest.
Years 9 - 10
More complex investigations.
Maths splits into 3 levels : 5.3, 5.2, 5.1, allowing the students to work at their own level.
Year 10 students work towards the School Certificate where they sit for a paper (for all levels) and get confirmation of grades on their particular level.

- Maths Extension 2 (1 Unit)

- Mathematics (2 Units)
- General Mathematics (this has a practical component) (2 Units)

The mathematics staff have established a numeracy centre which operates every lunchtime. This centre is available for girls who miss lessons due to extra-curricular activities, or who require extra assistance in mathematics.
