The Ōtūmoetai College Mathematics programme leverages technologies and innovative teaching methods to engage students at their respective levels of challenge and to promote mastery of the foundational mathematical concepts. Project-based learning is a further key element of the programme and provides students with the opportunity to collaborate with their peers and to engage in working through authentic mathematical problems. The mastery and project-based learning emphasis aids in fostering student interest and confidence in the subject. Through their study of the content strands of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability, students develop increasingly sophisticated analytical thought processes that allow them to solve problems efficiently in familiar and unfamiliar situations. Students are also encouraged to further hone their abilities to reason mathematically by participating in external competition opportunities and selfdirected work on Education Perfect, a web based mathematical support package.

social responsibility are valued and all learners achieve.

The Ōtūmoetai College Social Studies programme explores how societies work, and how people can participate as informed, critical, active and responsible citizens. As a multidisciplinary subject, contexts are drawn from a range of subjects including: Classical Studies, Economics, Geography, History, Sociology and Tourism. A critical objective of Social Studies is to allow students to make sense of their present world and to evaluate possible future decisions and actions, by connecting learning with the past, with place, and other perspectives. Students develop strategies for thinking critically, working collaboratively and creatively, to communicate understanding that is deep and meaningful.

The design of teaching and learning at Ōtūmoetai College is predicated on the fact that the future will not be the same as the past.
