Annual University of NSW Schools’ Mathematics Competition
In June, 23 boys from Years 7 to 12 competed in the highly prestigious Annual University of NSW Schools’ Mathematics Competition, which has been running for more than six decades!
This is a very challenging competition where students have three hours to complete six challenging mathematics problems. The competition is designed to assess mathematical insight and ingenuity rather than efficiency in tackling routine examples. Each year, about 700 students participate in the competition, 300 in each division, and prizes and/or certificates are awarded to about 60 students in each division.
Jayden P (Year 9) achieved a High Distinction in the Junior Division and received a Prize.
Aaron L (Year 10), Jonathan L (Year 10), Nathan L (Year 9) and Rian C (Year 8) each achieved a Credit.
This is an outstanding achievement and all boys who participated are congratulated on their efforts.
