Mathematics
Welcome back to term 3 RVSSC community. I hope you all had a relaxing time with your family and friends. This term we welcome Mrs Sebastian to the maths faculty. She will be taking over Ms Gordon’s classes. We are excited to welcome her to our teaching team.
Students are being invited to nominate themselves to participate in the Australian Mathematics Competition. This competition is a 75 minutes online, exam style challenge that will challenge their critical thinking skills against general numeracy components. If your child wishes to be involved, they need to register their interest by seeing Mr Goraya at the College by Wednesday 19th July, Week 2 of the term.
Year 9 students and parents/carers will be doing PPP interviews later this term. Maths department is offering specialist mathematics (must be done in conjunction with maths methods), maths methods, general maths and essential maths in year 10. Please see PPP booklet sent out by Mr Dunn for the pre-requisites to select these subjects.
Year 10 students and parents/carers will also be involved in the SET-P process to choose subjects for year 11. Maths department is offering all the senior maths subjects i.e. specialist mathematics (must be done in conjunction with maths methods), maths methods, general maths and essential maths.
