A variety of challenging problem-solving and critical thinking skills questions are covered in the course. Students build their ability to use knowledge, facts, and data to find a problem and its solution. Critical thinking questions will improve their ability to reason through an argument logically, draw a conclusion, assess a situation, recognise assumptions, and evaluate arguments.



The Critical Thinking Skills module is all about nurturing a questioning mind. Students will learn to evaluate arguments, identify logical fallacies, and construct well-reasoned conclusions. We encourage learners to think beyond the surface, to question, and to engage with ideas at a deeper level. This module goes beyond academic skills; it’s about fostering a lifelong ability to think clearly, reason effectively, and make informed decisions.

Delve into the world of mathematical logic with our Mathematical Reasoning module. This part of the course sharpens students’ abilities to dissect problems, recognize patterns, and apply mathematical principles to find solutions. From algebraic functions to geometric proofs, students will engage with a range of mathematical concepts through practical, real-world applications. Our curriculum is aligned with the NSW syllabus, ensuring that students are not only prepared for their current studies but also for any mathematical challenges they may encounter in the future.
