Vision:

To enable the Mount Erin community to use mathematical knowledge to understand the natural world and society to A.S.P.I.R.E to be effective members of the community beyond their expectations.

Mission:

To enable students to achieve understanding of mathematical concepts and skills beyond
their expectations and for students to demonstrate:
Junior: growth (i.e new learning) in mathematics of between one to one and a half years for one year of work.
Senior: achieve at or above their predicted result in at least one VCE Mathematics study.

Philosophy:

The learning of mathematics at Mount Erin College is based on a growth mindset (Dweck, 2006) and mastery learning philosophy which places the student at the centre and in control of their learning. Both teachers and students are aware of the individual ‘point of need’ and where each student is along the mathematics learning continuum. Teachers assist students to identify the ‘gaps’ in their mathematical knowledge and improve the students’ understanding and skills to close the ‘gaps’. Teachers work with students to build new mathematical knowledge and develop students’ skills along the mathematics learning continuum. There are three types of lesson styles used in lessons to ensure students show growth beyond their own expectations.
