Year 6 Talented Maths Day
On Wednesday 8 November, St Ursula’s College hosted the Year 6 Talented Mathematics Day. We extended invitations to students at local primary schools, inviting them to partake in a diverse range of mathematical activities. Students from 13 schools eagerly attended the event, all vying for the coveted Merici Shield.
The primary objective of the day was to offer highly-proficient maths students an opportunity to collaborate, learn, and compete with peers who share a similar passion for mathematics, while facing rigorous challenges. This inter-school competition was designed for Stage 3 students who aspire to excel at the highest levels. The activities encompassed logic problems, cross numbers and relays, each presenting a range of intricate problem-solving challenges.
The event concluded with an awards ceremony, during which students were presented with trophies in recognition of their outstanding mathematical accomplishments. St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Rockdale secured third place, while second place was awarded to St Raphael’s Catholic Primary School South Hurstville. The top honour, and the Merici Shield, was claimed by St Declan’s Catholic Primary School Penshurst. Congratulations to the winners, and well done to all participating students!
