We aim to create engaging, creative and relatable lessons at Erina High. Students use a multitude of technological tools to test and solve problems. By encouraging students to think outside the box, we hope they will confidently tackle real life mathematical problems in their future.
Homework Club
On Wednesday Break 1, Break 2 and after-school a homework club is operating in D8 and staffed by current Mathematics teachers. If students are struggling with the work they should arrange a time (outside class time) to get assistance from their teacher or at the homework club, or speak to the Head Teacher - Mr Wade.
STEM Club
Mr. Wade (Head Teacher Mathematics) also provides great incentives for Year 7 and 8 students to become a part of STEM Club on Monday afternoons, after school. For more information check out our Clubs and Other Activities page
