Congratulations to our budding mathematicians!

Box Hill High School
This year, 106 students from our school participated in the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC), an internationally recognised competition organised by the Australian Maths Trust. The competition challenges students to apply their mathematical knowledge, think creatively and solve unfamiliar problems.
We are delighted to celebrate some exceptional results!
A special congratulations goes to Ethan G, Year 7, who received both the Best in School Award and the prestigious Prize Award. The Prize Award is an extraordinary achievement, generally awarded to no more than 1 in every 300 students in their year level and region, placing this student among the very highest performers in the competition!
We also congratulate our five students who achieved a High Distinction, an award reserved for students performing in approximately the top 3% of their year level and region:
Year 7: Jerry H
Year 8: Tony N and Michael X
Year 10: Diya Aand Vivian L
Across the school, our students achieved an impressive 43 Distinctions, placing them among approximately the top 20% of competitors in their respective year levels and regions. A further 37 students received Credits (top 55%), while 19 students achieved Proficiency Awards, recognising their competency in mathematical problem-solving.
Well done to all our budding mathematicians!
