Project 22

This year, the two schools have embarked on a collaborative project to improve the teaching and learning of maths across both schools.

Utalising one of the newest resources, Middle Years Maths Challenges, both schools are taking the time to review current teaching strategies and how these can be further improved.

Some of the College leaders, teachers and students have observed maths classes at the primary school and how the teams plan and assess learning.

This project will continue for the rest of this year and grow into a strong partnership moving forward, as we persue continual improvement in teaching and learning practices.
