Mathematics

Standard Mathematics is a challenging course that develops the skills to solve real world problems. It includes algebraic skills, financial mathematics, measurement, trigonometry, probability, statistics and network analysis. This course is aimed at students that have achieved commendable results in Year 10. For Year 12, the course becomes Mathematics Standard 2 (ATAR) – for those who may have aspirations in entering university to study in the fields of Humanities, Nursing and Paramedical Sciences. After completing the Year 11 course, should students have found it difficult, then they can transfer into the new Numeracy Stage 6 course (non-ATAR) and Mathematics Standard 1 (read below).

New to 2022. For those students who have found the work very challenging in Years 9 and 10, the release of the new Numeracy Stage 6 course may be a good option to take. This is a non-ATAR course, but still counts as a 2 unit subject towards your HSC. There is no HSC examination for this course. It will focus on the development and consolidation of core numeracy skills. These skills are developed through authentic and relevant learning scenarios such as budgeting, shopping, record and account keeping, and a range of real-life activities requiring numeracy.
