Mathematics The Maths program caters for students with a wide variety of needs. The individualised nature of the junior program, combined with group lessons, supports and encourages students to achieve success and grow in confidence. The middle school program is well resourced and combines theory classes with practical activities. Extension classes are available from Year 10. Students are encouraged to use calculators and computer applications at all levels.
Students have access to a class set of graphic calculators with overhead display.
The Maths Task Centre adds a further interesting dimension to the Maths Program, providing achievable challenges using 'hands on' materials for a wide range of students. Mary Jackman is Co-ordinator of this Centre. Science The Science program caters for students with a wide range of needs and interests. The program is based around a practical approach where students are encouraged to develop their own ideas and, through experimentation, either validate or modify these. An example of this is a forensic science activity with Year 9 students.
