Term 3 is well and truly underway and there is a lot of Maths learning taking place! We have welcomed Sunny Allsopp to our teaching team and farewelled Tom Byrne and Jenny Bell at the end of Term 2.  We wish Tom and Jenny all the best for their new adventures.

In the first week of August, selected students from Years 7-12 took part in the Australian Maths Competition.  This competition aims to develop the capacity of our students to solve problems.  Furthermore, it assists in their development of resilience, persistence, confidence and creative thinking.  The Australian Mathematics Trust, the group who runs this competition, is passionate about empowering students to become better problem solvers in school, so they can be creative solution finders in the future.  Thank you to Debbie Yeoh for coordinating this event for us.  We look forward to sharing the results from this competition later in the year. 

I would like to remind everyone that we run a Maths homework club on Wednesday afternoons between 3 and 4pm in A5, to provide support for students across the school.  Numbers in Homework club have been steadily growing and we encourage anyone who is interested to come along and take the opportunity to get some help with all things Maths!
