Year 13 

The Year 13 course consists of two branches of Mathematics: Calculus and Statistics. Students have the option to choose one of them or pursue a mix of both based on their interests.

Calculus delves into practical applications of Mathematics, such as calculating rates of change and optimization. On the other hand, Statistics explores various types of data to draw conclusions, make predictions, and assess probabilities.

The Calculus course is highly recommended for those planning to pursue higher Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering in the future. Conversely, the Statistics course is ideal for students interested in becoming data analysts or starting their own businesses.

Studying higher-level Mathematics opens up numerous career opportunities. Employers often seek individuals with a strong background in Mathematics, even for positions that are not directly related to the field. This is because Mathematics fosters creativity, analytical thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, there is a growing demand for mathematicians and statisticians across various sectors of the business world.
