Mathematics Department
For the academic Year 2005-2006, the Mathematics Department started
with a complement of twelve teachers working arduously
to bring about positive attitude and appreciation for the subject. The
task is a great one as most times the students have
a fear of the subject. It must be noted that even though our passes in
CXC used to be low, this year there was a significant
increase in the number of passes. Consequently we have employed some strategies
to improve the success rate of students at the CXC
level. In addition there is a Mathematics Club in place consisting of students from
grades nine and ten that meets every Friday at 12:45pm.
The department is driven by its mission statement as we try to
achieve our objective that is:
To enable students to develop their numerate and problem solving
skills in collaboration with ROSE, CXC, and SSC requirements,
as well as a good understanding of the subject area which will prepare
them for the world of work and life in the 21st Century,
thus allowing them to have a total appreciation of Mathematics. This
will be achieved with the use of instructional materials,
technological aids and highly qualified personnel.
