At Craighead Diocesan School we believe that Mathematics is more than just numbers and equations; it's a dynamic and empowering journey of discovery. Our vision is to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive learning environment where every student not only engages with mathematical concepts but also embraces the joy of learning, the beauty of mistakes and the power of resilience.
We aim to foster a community of lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and problem solvers who approach mathematics with curiosity and enthusiasm in our unique context as a girls' school of Special Character. We celebrate diversity of thought and encourage collaboration, creating an environment where students can thrive both individually and collectively. Students develop empathy towards each other and recognise that each of us has our strengths and weaknesses on our mathematical journey to personal excellence.
