ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ Mathematicians at the Highest Level

ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ mathematicians have enjoyed tremendous success in a range of competitions this year.ÌýÌý

For the sixth year in a row, a ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ student was chosen to be part of the Australian delegation at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), considered the most prestigious and intellectually demanding mathematics competition in the world. In July, Year 10 student William travelled with the Australian team to the University of Bath in the United Kingdom, alongside over 600 competitors from more than 110 countries.Ìý

William achieved a silver medal for his outstanding performance, a monumental accomplishment in the pinnacle mathematics event for high school students around the world. William’s achievement opens up further opportunities and can provide a pathway for admission to top-tier universities worldwide. Former ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ students who were IMO medallists have gone on to study mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and the University of Cambridge.Ìý

In addition to success at the IMO, for the fourth year in a row, ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ has claimed first prize in the University of Melbourne’s ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØl Maths Olympics, a team-based competition where students compete in a frenetic problem-solving relay. Following their success at the event this year, the ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ team was invited to compete in the University Maths Olympics. Remarkably, the ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ team also won first prize in this event.Ìý

Our aim in mathematics education at ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ is to ‘remove the ceiling’, enabling students to develop their mathematical abilities to their highest level. The school continues to attract and develop many of the nation’s most talented young mathematicians, helping them to grasp the wide range of opportunities available to them.Ìý
