Maths Maestros!

Congratulations to all the OC students who have been working really hard in maths throughout this term, in a range of problem solving contests and competitions. 

Everyone has been taking part in the APSMO Maths Olympiad (which is very challenging) and a new component this year, the Maths Games, which is the same format of problem solving questions, but not quite as difficult. Students will continue to participate in both Maths Games and Olympiads into next term.

A group of our students have also taken part in the AMC Challenge, which is a different problem solving program where students get to work in small groups to complete tasks. Today, some of our students completed their problems, and were quite pleased with themselves (as evident in the photo below!).
