Australian Mathematics Competition 2008

The results of this year’s Australian Mathematics Competition have arrived and the Awards for 2008 saw 66% of our students who sat the competition gain either a Credit or better. 

The Australian Mathematics Competition is an activity of the Australian Mathematics Trust and this year hundreds of thousands of students participated from 42 countries.  This year saw the introduction of a Proficiency Certificate in Mathematical Skills and Problem Solving, seen as an excellent complement to the Australian Government numeracy tests. The students have all received their certificates and feedback sheets.

Our school results for the 319 entries were as follows:

• 1 Prize
• 6 High Distinctions
• 61 Distinctions
• 144 Credits
• 40 Proficiency

Congratulations to Ainsley Davies of Year 8 who was awarded a prize [top 0.3%] and to Georgia Antonopoulos of Year 8 for the School’s Prudence Award (highest number of consecutive correct responses- 15!).  Ainsley received her prize at a presentation at ANU in September.

Congratulations to all those girls who received certificates and for all the students who worked diligently during the competition to solve those 30 questions.  Many thanks go to the Mathematics staff for their efforts in training and encouraging the students.
