A new structured numeracy programme called Numicon was adopted by the school at the beginning of the learning year.
Principal Glenn Puna saw the success of the literacy as an opportunity to adopt the programme.
"It’s very, very exciting and another extension on our structured literacy," Mr Puna said.
The programme was now in its sixth week but was still in "very early days".
Originally a United Kingdom-based learning programme, Numicon followed a straight-line learning approach that encouraged pupils to see and do maths using structured imagery and equipment.
For one hour each day, the whole school focused on mathematics using the same learning resources, he said.
Pupils had taken well to the new learning approach, he said.
"I think they like it because it’s very tactile, it’s all about using the equipment."
Pupils used equipment provided to show how they got their answer, he said.
"It gets them to get more in depth about their understanding ... So far the kids are having a blast"
Despite positive early reviews it was too early in the programme’s adoption to determine its success just yet, he said.
"Hopefully by the end of the year there’s gonna be amazing results.
"Maths data so far has not been bad, sitting at the low 80’s ... the feeling is good though, everyone is speaking the same language."
"Ideal", the structured literacy programme implemented last year had the data to prove its success, he said.
It resulted in 91% of pupils reading at or above their age, he said.
"We feel quite lucky that we were ahead of the game."
The school previously had between 75%-79% of pupils reading at or above their age, he said.
"From there we said now that we’ve got the data to prove that our structured literacy approach works, we need to do the same for maths."
