Certificate of Merit – Intermediate Division

Certificate of Merit – Senior Division

Year 12: Elaine Li

4. University of Melbourne School Maths Olympics

This event is held annually during the UoM Open Day at the Parkville Campus.  Unihigh has fielded a team each year and although not winning this year, five Year 12 students were wonderful ambassadors for us on the day.  

Our team on the day: (l-r) Aarush Rajeev; Melissa Mao; James Stark; Dusty Phillips; Ruining (Ray) Cao (not pictured)

We are still waiting on results for the AMC and Maths Enrichment – more on that next Term.
