WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR

Built for Year 10 students securing the Adv / Ext pathway

Developed for Year 10 students studying Mathematics Advanced (5.3), completing Stage 5 with the depth that senior maths assumes. We consolidate every 5.3 topic, extend into the algebra and functions that Year 11 Advanced and Extension 1 build on, and lock in the study habits that carry through to the HSC.

  • You want to genuinely understand maths — not just memorise it

  • You’re aiming for Advanced/Extension pathway for Year 11/12

  • You learn best through discussion in a relaxed, informal classroom

  • You want the structure and accountability of a weekly lesson

  • You appreciate extra support — in class and long after it ends
