Mathematics

Pathway to Advanced – Students will complete all Stage 5 core outcomes, and appropriate pathway outcomes, in preparation for a study of Mathematics Advanced/Extension in Year 11/12. This level of maths will provide an appropriate mathematical background for students whose future pathways may involve mathematics and its applications in a range of disciplines at the tertiary level.

Pathway to Standard – Students will complete all Stage 5 core outcomes, and appropriate pathway outcomes, in preparation for a study of Mathematics Standard in Year 11/12. This level of Maths prepares students for a wide range of educational and employment aspirations, including continuing their studies at a tertiary level if required.

Students in the Standard Pathway are still able to access Mathematics Advanced in Year 11/12. However, they may find some aspects challenging. Classes in Stage 5 will be regularly assessed, both formally and informally, and students can be moved between pathways if their results and effort indicate that a change is appropriate. However, keeping movement to a minimum is preferred.
