Numeracy Stage 6 Syllabus (2021)

Content Endorsed Course

The Numeracy course supports students to develop the functional numeracy skills required to become active and successful participants in society. Students have the opportunity to develop these skills and apply them to situations in personal and community, workplace and employment, and education and training contexts. This course offers students the opportunity to prepare for post-school options of employment or further training. The Numeracy course may be studied as a standalone course or in conjunction with the Mathematics Standard course, where the student would benefit from additional learning opportunities to strengthen their numeracy development.
