We also employ a tutor who works with selected students during school time to engage with Mathematics content and revise difficult areas. Our Mathematics team also facilitates the Australian Mathematics Competition for students in advanced classes in 7-10. In Science we explore all areas of Science with a faculty who loves getting creative, sharing resources and planning. We celebrate Science Week with a great evening of experiments and competitions.
