Children are encouraged to develop a love and appreciation for maths and a sound understanding of mathematical principles through first-hand investigation and problemsolving in real life contexts. We also work hard to ensure that the basic table facts and methods of computation are clearly taught and emphasised.
ICT is an integral part of our curriculum and the school is extremely well-equipped with a wide range of ICT resources including interactive whiteboards, computers, Apple TV and an extensive number of iPads. Children have computers in each classroom and we are in the enviable position where we also have a fully equipped computer suite.
