80 students across Years 3 to 6 sat the Australian Maths Competition (AMC). As Australia’s longest-running competition for mathematics, the AMC tests students' problem-solving skills. Junior School students demonstrated impressive capabilities, awarded 17 distinctions and 7 high distinctions. 3 of our students were also presented with Prize Awards. These are usually reserved for one student in every 300 students in a year level or region.
