Outstanding Mathematics Achievements

The MLC School community is thrilled to congratulate Veronica (Year 9) on her incredible achievements in recent mathematics competitions. Veronica demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication, achieving an impressive 99.56% in the International Maths Challenge.

Her success didn’t stop there – Veronica also achieved a perfect score in the American Maths Competition, an outstanding accomplishment that places her among the top young mathematicians. Both of these results are a testament to Veronica’s hard work, problem-solving ability, and passion for mathematics. We are incredibly proud of her achievements and look forward to seeing her continue to excel.

Enrichment opportunities and external competitions such as these provide students with the chance to challenge themselves beyond the curriculum and apply mathematics in new and exciting ways.

Well done, Veronica, and best of luck to all our students taking on new mathematical challenges!

Congratulations to Year 10 students Jocelyn, Sophia and Chloe, who have been invited to join the University of Sydney’s MaPS Correspondence program. This initiative offers talented high school students support in developing their problem-solving skills through modules and challenging problem sets. Each student has access to a mentor to provide guidance and feedback on their solutions and can partake in face-to-face sessions once per term at the university campus. In Term 3 the program culminates with the Australian Intermediate Mathematical Olympiad, and in Term 4 they will have the opportunity to take part in the Mathematical Talk Showcase where they undertake a mathematical research project and present their findings.

Well done to these students on their selection, and we look forward to following their progress!
