Special mentions

Based on results from previous competitions and the AIMO, Yolanda Deng (Year 9), Jocelyn Su (Year 10), Sophia Hu (Year 10) and Chloe Lin (Year 10) were invited by the Australian Maths Trust (AMT) to take part in the Australian Training Tournament, a 3-hour competition at the University of Sydney on Saturday 1 November 2025.

Yolanda Deng (Year 9) was also invited by the AMT to the Mathematics School of Excellence, a week-long program from Monday 24 to Friday 28 November 2025, to provide mentorship and help students further develop their problem-solving skills. We hope she had a wonderful time taking part this week and can’t wait to hear all about it!

Sissi Zheng (Year 7) has had some incredible achievements this year, with perfect scores in the Kangourou sans Frontières and the Australasian Problem-Solving Mathematical Olympiads (APSMO), as well being awarded the AMC Prize. This prize is generally awarded to no more than one student for every 300 students within a region and year group. Sissi was invited to the 2025 AMT State Awards on the 11 November, and received her award from the AMT organiser. She made some new friends during the workshop held on the night and came back from the event feeling extremely inspired!

A hearty congratulations to all students who took part in Mathematics Competitions this year. It was great to see the enthusiasm and dedication of the students to these competitions on top of their schoolwork.

If you would also like to take part in such events next year, make sure to keep an eye out in the newsletter for registration information.
