Year 8: Angle Relationships, Linear Relationships, Right-Angled Triangles and Review of Algebra.

Year 9: Probability A (Core), Equations A (Core), Numbers of Any Magnitude (Core), Area & Surface Area A (Core) and Volume A (Core). The topics are organised based on students' level of study.

This term, Senior School students will delve into the following concepts in their studies:

Year 10: Probability A (Core), Probability B (Path), Linear Relationships A (Core) & B (Core), Data Analysis B (Core), Review of Equations A (Core), B (Path) & C (Path) and Introduction to Networks (Path). The topics are organised based on students' level of study.

Year 11: Mathematics Standard – Applications of Perimeter, Area and Volume, Relative Frequency and Probability, Classifying and Representing Data (grouped and ungrouped) and Summary Statistics.

Mathematics Advanced – Further Functions and Relations, Trigonometry and Measure of Angles and Trigonometric Functions and Identities.

Mathematics Extension 1 – Inverse functions, Parametric form of a function or relation, Permutations and combinations, The binomial expansion and Pascal’s triangle and Inverse trigonometric functions.

Year 12: Mathematics Standard 1 – The Statistical Investigation Process for a Survey, Exploring and describing data arising from two quantitative variables and Networks.
