2017 MATHEMATICS CHALLENGE FOR YOUNG AUSTRALIANS IS ON…..

The Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians (MCYA) in Years 7-10 has started this term. There are 19 students who joined this year - the biggest participation so far since the College started it in the Year 2000!

This is a staged program designed to help teachers motivate, stimulate, encourage and develop mathematically interested students to bring forth the talent and potential within. This is an ideal program for extension students and for students who would benefit from greater challenge.

It will run for a consecutive 3 week period between March and April. It comprises six problems. Problems can be discussed in groups of two or three registered students before individual submission of solutions. Mr. Morris handles the Years 7-8 students and Mrs Blanco manages the Years 9-10 students.

AND THE WINNER OF THE PI Baking Contest is …….. Ashlen Mecham  !!! Congratulations !!!
