CAT Competition Results
Aaron Brown, Assistant Domain Leader Mathematics
As highlighted in the previous edition of the College Newsletter, students across Year 7, 8 and 9 SEAL Mathematics participated in the Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition in late March 2021. This is a national competition which assesses student ability to apply the skills of computational and algorithmic thinking to various problem solving scenarios.
17,699 students from 379 schools participated in the competition. 5 of our students achieved a Distinction award for this competition, recognising their achievement in the top 15% of the state. A document explaining the awards framework can be found by clicking here.
Congratulations to the following students:
Student Name | Year Level | Award(s) |
|---|---|---|
Alex Wright | 7 | "Best In School", Distinction |
Madhav Mathur | 7 | Distinction |
Samuel Malic | 7 | Distinction |
Andrew Sheddan | 7 | Distinction |
Andrew Martin | 9 | Distinction |
I would like to thank all the students who participated in this competition. Their willingness to put in their best effort into this competition is commendable. I look forward to seeing the outcomes of the Australian Mathematics Competition, to be held in August.
