Competitions
Every year students enter several mathematics competitions. The Hans Woyda Quiz is an inter-schools contest in which teams compete to answer mathematics questions correctly. Some of the questions are very difficult and leave the teachers flummoxed!
We also enter students for the Junior, Intermediate and Senior Maths Challenges. There are more details at their website...
