The Mathematics faculty at Woolooware High School is a team of experienced and dedicated teachers. As a faculty we endeavour to work as a team, always moving forward, and ensuring that our students are guaranteed the best teaching and learning experiences. We want our students to enjoy their mathematical journey; to explore, to discover, to challenge, to conquer and to acquire mathematical thinking as a life-long skill. We value our students as individuals and encourage them to be the very best they can be.
