Course Summary
The Mathematics course allows for multiple entry points to accommodate the diversity of students' mathematics development at the point of entry into senior school as well as the diversity of post school destinations.
Students can choose units based on their particular need: to develop their general mathematical skills for further training or employment, to enable university entry where further mathematics may not be essential, to prepare them for university courses where further mathematics studies is required or for preparation for higher level training in technical areas.
