Classroom activities involve students in many aspects of English including: talking and listening; reading; writing; observing; experience in mass media; everyday communication; personal expression; developing language skills and literature. Teachers select interesting and productive classroom strategies which involve a variety of these aspects in integrated units of work. Students take part in a growing list of extra classroom activities which will enhance competency in English including excursions, invited dramatic performances, local school productions, debating, writing and speaking competitions, and University of NSW English Competition. LITERACY A special class will run to assist selected students with literacy needs. MATHEMATICS Maths courses aim to create confidence and enjoyment in doing mathematical activities. Students develop an awareness of how maths can be used to solve problems in everyday life. They also learn of its contribution to the development of society. Maths courses also aim to develop knowledge, skills and understanding in the following areas. 1. logical, flexible, fluent and original thinking; 2. computation and problem solving skills; 3. appropriate language for the effective communication of mathematical ideas and experiences; 4. an ability to recognize mathematical patterns and relationships; 5. a variety of methods for calculation and problem solving; 6. an awareness of the basic structure of mathematics by an appreciation of the nature and interrelationship of the various strands of mathematics. Mathematics Competitions In the past years Northmead Creative and Performing Arts High School has allowed students the opportunity to participate in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Our students have always done well, with many of them being awarded a Credit or Distinction. Information on how to enter the various mathematics competitions and their small entry fee will be provided during the year.
