We would like to officially welcome Catherine Bode and Lauren Smail to the Maths teaching team for Term 4! 

Earlier in Term 2, 162 students took part in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Students competed in the Junior (Years 7 and 8), Intermediate (Years 9 and 10) or Senior (Years 11 and 12) division. Each division comprised of 30 questions, where students had to read and interpret a range of questions with varying degrees of difficulty. Certificates are given to students who achieve in the top 3-5% (High Distinction); top 20-25% (Distinction); and top 55-60% (Credit).

This year, we are pleased to announce that one student received a High Distinction, 10 students received Distinctions and 66 students received Credits. This year, the Best in School Award went to Marc Rouillard in Year 11. Well done to all students who took part in the competition. A special thank you to Debbie Yeoh who coordinated the competition.

Once again, the Mathematics team provided a range of activities for our Kalamunda Day celebrations. In amongst the strategic and fun games, origami and mindfulness activities, students had the opportunity to demonstrate perseverance and spatial awareness by constructing various models using Mini-Builds. This was a popular addition to our activities this year! I have attached some photos from the day.
