Well done to all our students, you have all achieved so much through another somewhat difficult year. You all should be really proud of yourselves. We wish all the winners all the very best and congratulations.
To our Year 12 graduates we also wish you all the very best in your endeavors and new chapters ahead.

4th Annual NUS High School Hackathon
It is amazing what our students are achieving during lockdown!
Max Petschack, Darcy Lugt-Falk, and Zamiur Rahman won first prize in 4th Annual NUS High School Hackathon, hosted by the NUS
High School of Mathematics and Science in Singapore (https://www.nushigh.edu.sg/). This year the hackathon was held virtually with students representing Singapore, Philippines, Russia, Poland, UK, Vietnam, Australia, and Thailand.
The students were required in 24 hours to produce an application to reduce and mitigate the effects of rapid global warming. The JMSS team produced an online platform called Carbon Coins that is designed to help individuals understand how much carbon the things they do every day emit.
Well done team! So proud!
