Maths mentoring program

In 2014, the Mathematics Faculty of Manly Selective Campus ran a trial enrichment program for students from Balgowlah Heights Primary School. The program, initiated by Amber Gorell (Rel. Principal BHPS), was targeted at BHPSstudents who are achieving well above their Year level in Mathematics.

 

Each week six BHPS students visit Manly Selective Campus to participate in a 45-minute mentoring session. The students are matched with an individual mentor who is a senior student from Manly Selective. The mentors work with the students on advanced mathematical concepts.

Following the initial success, and with ongoing support from Ms Gorell and Mr Rudd, we have continued this program in 2015. It has proven to be a great hit with both the primary school students and their mentors. Both are to be congratulated on their efforts.
