Maths Olympiad Update – Tarneit Rise Students Shining!

Our Tarneit Rise students have made a strong start to this year’s Maths Olympiad competition, demonstrating fantastic problem-solving skills and resilience as they work through challenging mathematical questions.

 

We are excited to share that in the first round, our students performed above the national average on several questions. Here's how our school's results compare to students across Australia:

 

  • Question A: 100% of our students answered correctly (national average: 54.85%)
  • Question B: 36.67% of our students answered correctly (national average: 54.90%)
  • Question C: 20.00% of our students answered correctly (national average: 44.48%)
  • Question D: 33.33% of our students answered correctly (national average: 21.54%)
  • Question E: 53.33% of our students answered correctly (national average: 21.04%)

We’re particularly proud of our students’ performance on Questions A, D, and E, where they significantly outperformed the national average. This shows not only their growing confidence in problem-solving but also their ability to think critically and persist through tricky problems.

 

As the competition continues, we look forward to seeing even more growth and success. A big congratulations to all our Olympiad students—you’re doing Tarneit Rise proud!
