In Mathematics we make learning engaging and practical. Our junior curriculum focuses on building strong foundations, with lessons that connect mathematics to real-life situations. We ensure every student feels confident in their skills, whether they're just starting out or ready for more advanced challenges. Our goal is to help students see the value of mathematics in everyday life and prepare them for future success.
Our senior mathematics program is designed to prepare students for success in NCEA and beyond. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that builds on prior knowledge, focusing on the skills needed for university entrance and future careers. Our courses challenge students to think critically, solve complex problems, and apply mathematical concepts to real-world situations. With dedicated support and tailored pathways, we ensure that every student is equipped to achieve their goals and excel on their academic journey to mathematical success.
By undertaking study in Mathematics students build a foundation for further study in a range of learning areas including business, computer science, engineering, medicine, data analysis, commerce, manufacturing, market and social research, telecommunications, retail, and tourism. Furthermore, students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential in everyday life and in any career.
Calculus is a type of mathematics that helps us understand how things change. Imagine you’re tracking how fast a car is going or how much water fills a tank over time—calculus gives you the tools to figure that out. In our courses, you’ll learn about things like limits (how something behaves as it gets closer to a point), derivatives (how fast something is changing), and integrals (the total amount of something, like area under a curve). These ideas are super important in fields like physics, engineering, and economics. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to solve real-world problems and be ready for more advanced mathematics and science studies.
Statistics is the study of data—how to collect it, understand it, and make sense of it. It’s like being a detective, but instead of solving crimes, you’re solving puzzles about numbers and information. In this course, you’ll learn how to describe data (like finding the average of test scores), figure out the chances of something happening (like flipping a coin), and make predictions based on data (like whether a new product will be popular). Statistics is used in all sorts of areas, from deciding which movies might be hits to figuring out if a new medicine works. By learning statistics, you’ll be able to make smarter decisions and understand the world better.
