One of the Gold Certificate recipient, Sayam Mehta, shares his experience:

On March 4 2020, the Australian Computation and Linguistics Olympiad was held. My experience participating in this competition was phenomenal with my team members Seth and Hans. This competition bestowed upon us the opportunity to collaborate and apply our critical thinking skills to challenging problems. Our whole team was exuberant on this occasion and we all had a momentous time. Stirred by our sedulousness during the event, the teachers served us refreshments and perpetuated a refined and supportive ambience. To congratulate our dedication and determination during the event, we successfully achieved the gold certificate. This achievement was beyond our expectations and we welcomed it willfully with gusto. On the day the results were announced, many congratulations were granted to myself and my team, which elevated our joy. I was in high spirits when the results came out and immediately messaged my team to notify them of our wonderful achievement. This terrific experience was extremely impressive and I hope to rise and shine next year as well.

Congratulations to all participants.
