The Australian Intermediate Mathematics Olympiad (AIMO) is a highly challenging mathematics competition designed to extend talented students in Years 7 to 10. 

The AIMO contains unique problems designed each year by leading educators and academics to challenge and assess students’ problem-solving skills. 

Three of our high potential students in Stage 5 attempted this competition during Week 8 in Term 3. 

This task required our students to attempt 10 questions and an investigation in four hours, without the assistance of a calculator.  This task is definitely a test of both endurance and intellect. 

Congratulations to Bonnie McMaster (Year 10), Ben Cooper (Year 10) and Oliver Collins (Year 9) for their willingness to challenge themselves by attempting this high-level competition.  They have enriched their understanding of mathematics and extended their problem-solving skills. 

We are proud of your aspirations to be the best you can be! 

Oliver Collins & Bonnie McMaster

Special congratulations to Oliver Collins for achieving a Credit Award placing him in the top 50% of students who sat the competition in Australia in this highly challenging competition.
