Enrichment Stage by the Australia Mathematics Trust

A group of our brightest young mathematicians from Year 8, 9 and 10 were involved in the Enrichment Stage of the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians this year. The Enrichment Stage is an invitation only programme run at Scotch before school, where students are extended in problem solving using material created by the Australian Mathematics Trust. Students are asked to complete a number of questions over the period of the programme which are submitted for marking. Whilst all boys who completed the programme are to be congratulated, three Year 9 boys stood out as exhibiting outstanding achievement. Luke Henderson (Year 9, Ferguson) achieved a Distinction for his fine efforts. Raghav Khanna (Year 9, Shearer) and Kartik Khanna (Year 9, Shearer), both achieved High Distinctions placing them in the top 10% of Enrichment Stage participants throughout Australia, which is a phenomenal achievement.
