Literacy and Numeracy

Congratulations

This year we had two students who chose to complete the International Maths Challenge. Two students, Oliver V (Year 2) and Nathan S (Year 3), have achieved outstanding success.

Oliver Van Vuuren has been awarded the title of Champion, and Nathan Sebastian has been awarded the title of Elitist. 

In this Challenge:

• Students scoring above the 95th percentile are recognised as Champions.
• Those scoring between the 80th and 95th percentile are awarded the title of Elitist.

Congratulations to both of these students.
