The Mathematics Challenge is an annual event that has gained recognition as one of the most prestigious mathematics competitions.  It is designed to encourage students to explore the fascinating world of mathematics beyond their curriculum.  The challenge offers a wide range of problems, each carefully crafted to test various aspects of mathematical knowledge, critical thinking, and creativity.

This competition celebrates the brilliance of young minds and encourages them to push the boundaries of their mathematical knowledge.  It is a platform where exceptional performance is not just recognised but also celebrated, and where participants inspire each other to strive for mathematical excellence.

Over a three-week period from 27 April until 12 May, thirty-three of our talented mathematicians worked in groups to compete in the Australian Mathematics Challenge.  The students worked together, and individually, to solve six problems.  It has been delightful to observe engaged young individuals as they enhance their problem-solving skills and challenge their highly developed understanding of working mathematically. Not only did our students achieve excellent results, but they also further developed their learning and collaboration skills, built new friendships, and reinforced their understanding of the beauty of mathematics.

Congratulations to all our participants on the following results:

Thank you to all our students who have demonstrated their willingness to aspire to be the best they can be by participating in this wonderful program.  Special congratulations go to Rachel Su and Lin Zhao LimSchneider for their exceptional achievement.
