Mathematics Masterclasses

Seven of our keenest S3 Mathematicians participated in a series of 6 masterclasses which took place in the Mathematics Department at the University of Glasgow.

The pupils enjoyed the experience and then, back in school, took the opportunity to share some of what they had learned with their class. The pupils were David Hughes, Matthew Jaffray, Kenzie McLaughlin, Alex Moffat, Jonathan Reynolds, Tom Sewell and Douglas Rodie.

Primary Maths Challenge

The Mathematics Department are preparing for our annual P7 Mathematics Challenge. Teams from each of our associated primaries come along for a morning of fun activities with a competitive edge, supported by a group of our S3 pupils.

Peter McGinness, Paul Archibald, Matthew Kiernan and Cara Cecil were the winning team from St Barbara’s Primary back in 2009. All four are now in S6 and studying Advanced Higher Mathematics – almost all of the Advanced Higher pupils represented their Primary school that day!
