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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The event concluded with an awards ceremony, during which students were presented with trophies in recognition of their outstanding mathematical accomplishments. <\/span><b>St Joseph\u2019s Catholic Primary School Rockdale<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> secured third place, while second place was awarded to <\/span><b>St Raphael\u2019s Catholic Primary School South Hurstville<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
