Accelerated Maths Class

This year the MSCW Maths Department has launched its pilot Maths Acceleration Program.

Students in Year 9 who demonstrated strong mathematical ability through rigorous testing, such as off-level PAT testing, were then nominated for inclusion in this class. Students following this accelerated pathway are undertaking the 5.3 Year 9 and Year 10 course simultaneously, which will then allow them to begin the Year 11 Preliminary Advanced Maths course a year earlier. Through this program, students are given the opportunity to indulge their passion for mathematics. Students are also afforded greater flexibility in Year 12 to devote time to other HSC subjects. This pathway also assists students with developing their organisational and time management skills and building perseverance, collaboration and confidence.
