Maths

Mathematics, the so-called 'queen and servant of science', is one of the foundations upon which the curriculum at The Ladies' College is built. The teaching of Mathematics is differentiated throughout the school with all girls being set by ability at entrance. We pay particular attention to those who find mathematics difficult by placing them in small sets allowing us to give them almost individual attention. The setting is continually reviewed in the light of test data to ensure each girl is matched to a class of appropriate ability.

In recent years, the reputation and standing of The Ladies' College in the areas of Mathematics and related subjects has risen markedly with many of our keen and enthusiastic young Mathematicians achieving outstanding success at the tertiary level.
