Arithmetic Olympics: A Thrilling Competition!

The calculators were put away, and the brains were buzzing! We recently held an exhilarating mental arithmetic competition for our Year 7, 8, and 9 students in classrooms. Throughout Terms 2 and 3, students engaged in quick arithmetic challenges, with each class nominating a champion to represent them in the final competition.

We saw incredible talent in the classrooms, leading to some tough decisions for class teachers as they selected their champions.

The ultimate showdown happened at Maths Club, where our nominated class champions went head-to-head in a thrilling final! Each year group faced off in a series of mental computation challenges, culminating in the selection of a winner from each year level. It was amazing to see the quick thinking and competitive spirit from all our students.

A huge congratulations to all the class champions who battled it out in the final! You showed incredible speed and accuracy. And a special shout-out to our Year Level Champions:

• Phoebe Hadisurja  (Year 7)
• Sarah Aoki (Year 8)
• Tamara Paramasivam (Year 9)

Well done to everyone involved for making this such a successful and exciting event!
