Mathematics is a highly valued curriculum area at our school. The integrity of the Numeracy Block is actively promoted through carefully monitoring of timetabling to ensure the mandated time is allocated to maths instruction. Classrooms from Pre-Primary to 6 use Origo Stepping Stones for Maths instruction.
