Congratulations to Our Maths Talent Quest Achievers!

Over the course of Term 2, the dedicated accelerated maths classes in Year 7 and 8 spent time each week refining and polishing their entries for the Maths Talent Quest. All students presented thoughtful and creative investigations, and the school selected the top three entries per year level to be assessed externally for the competition. Their hard work, creativity, and persistence have paid off with outstanding results!
