On 7 May, over 200 students from our Senior School competed in the Hamann Schools’ Mathematics Competition. This is an annual competition run by the Mathematics Association of South Australia and involves thousands of students from across the state.
Our School did exceptionally well, with 19 of our students receiving awards at the Presentation Evening on 19 June, including first place overall in the Senior and Intermediate categories.
I congratulate these students on their remarkable achievements, and all other students who gave it a go!
