In Secondary School, students from Years 7 and 8 took part in an Enrichment Program, which consisted of a six week problem-solving competition developed by the Australian Mathematics Trust.
Each student was presented with six demanding problems. To complete this program students required grit, perseverance, tenacity and resilience – all great qualities that will help them in the future.
Congratulations to the following students:
