Australian Maths Competition 2026
Glen Waverley Primary School
We had 548 mathematicians participate in the Australian Mathematics Competition this year from Years 3 to Year 6! This competition includes 25 multiple choice questions of increasing difficulty, and 5 short answer questions, which are the most challenging questions on the paper. It is fantastic to see so many students participating and challenging themselves. Well done to all of the participants this year.
At assembly on Monday 24th of October, it was a delight to present eleven students who achieved the highest awards with their certificates.
It is an outstanding accolade that two students were awarded a Prize as this represents an achievement in the top 0.3% of the state. These students were:
- Aishira (3A)
- Samuel (5C)
High Distinction Certificates are awarded to students in the top 3% of the state and were received by:
- Nikshinth (3D), David (3B), Jake (3E)
- Ayaan (4A)
- Juho (5E), Tim (5F), Annora (5B), Grayson (5A)
- Morgan (6B)
Distinction Certificates are for the top 20% of the state, and 57 were awarded to students at our school.
All certificates were available to be handed out in class this week to celebrate all students’ achievements.
