Competition 

Have Sum Fun 

Year 7 and Year 8 students attended Trinity College on Friday, 23 October to participate in a very exciting Mathematics quiz night called the Have Sum Fun competition. There were two teams of six students, each team consisting of three Year 7s and three Year 8s.  They were given the challenge to solve eight intense Mathematics questions in the span of 20 minutes! There were four rounds of brain-pumping action as these students worked together to beat the clock and all the other attending schools!

 

I would like to congratulate the following students for attending the competition with their team and spending many weeks practicing after school in preparation for the competition, displaying their keen attitude towards Mathematics, tremendous effort and their display of leadership in their participation in the competition:

 

St Norbert Team 1 – Sarah Abood, Shelna Sony, Jia Ying Chen, Kobe Atkinson, Nicholas Peters and Aaron Rapirap
St Norbert Team 2 – Agna Aji, Joseph Abusman, Logan Davies, Andre Flores, Sheryl Matchado and Nadine Retallack

"The Have Sum Fun Maths competition was a great opportunity to compete against other schools. I had so much fun participating in the competition with all my friends and would definitely do it again."                                                                                                       Sarah Abood

 

"MAWA’s Have “Sum” Fun Face to Face can be described as an exhilarating and interesting experience as you struggle between the emotions of panic, doubt, relief, disappointment and satisfaction. 

The challenge of the questions kept our group on our toes and the time we spent trusting in each other’s ability proved to be invaluable and is what carried us through the competition."                                                                                                                        Jia Ying Chen

 

"Have Sum Fun was a great opportunity to work together with my friends and solve challenging questions.

"Have Sum Fun was really fun. It was incredible to see how maths can be solved in many ways and it was a great opportunity to interact with our friends and others."
