Western Australian Mathematics Olympiad

Some of our talented Year 8 and 9 Mathematics students competed in the Western Australian Junior Mathematics Olympiad on Saturday 2 November. Scotch selected two teams of four students to compete in the prestigious event. UWA hosted students from all schools around the state making for an exciting and stimulating environment. Students competed in two highly challenging rounds, consisting of individual and team components. Our boys represented the school extremely well and should be commended on their efforts.

Team 1 : Luke Henderson (Year 8, Ferguson), Kartik Khanna (Year 8, Shearer), Raghav Khanna (Year 8 Shearer), Andrew Singh (Year 8, Anderson)
