Mathematics
Thank you to Mr Louis Van Dartel for all his enthusiastic work in the Mathematics department this year. The staff and student have thoroughly enjoyed the practical flare that he brought to the team. We are thrilled to give a big welcome back to Mrs Kerri Potter who returns fulltime in 2021 to the Mathematics department.
After an exciting implementation of the “Supporting Mathematical Understanding” program, Mrs Lauren Smith will offer a similar program in 2021 under the banner of “Extending Mathematical Understanding” that will aim to develop students' conceptual understanding in Mathematics through small group work.
The Mathematics department have worked incredibly hard in 2020 implementing and embedding our teaching programs for our new Year 12 syllabuses. A big thanks to all the Mathematics staff for their dedication to the quality teaching and learning of Mathematics at SJPC during a challenging year. It is through their enthusiasm and inspiration that the students are able to gain true insight into Mathematics.
