ACG Strathallan entered 14 students into the Australian Mathematics Competition this year. Hundreds of thousands of students in primary and secondary schools from around 30 countries sat the AMC on 28 July.
Once again ACG Strathallan students impressed as all 14 students achieved Credit certificates or higher.
High Distinction (Top 3% NZ): Adam El-Khatib (Yr8), Zack Perkin (Yr8), George Liu (Yr9), Jack Foster (Yr10)
Distinction (top 20% NZ): Ju Sung Kim (Yr8), Ethan Kyle (Yr8), Serena Jou (Yr10), Rawiri Mahue (Yr10), Astrid Lewis (Yr10), Cindy Lee (Yr11), Joshua Sinclair (Yr11), Chris Ahn (Yr12)
Credit (Top 55% NZ) : Jane Huang (Yr9), Liam Nelson (Yr10)
Because of their outstanding scores Adam El-Khatib and Zac Perkin in year 8 (pictured), were invited to attend an extension workshop run by the Australian Mathematics Trust in October. They also got to receive their certificates at an awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of the top scorers in New Zealand.
The AMC provide the students with an extra opportunity for external recognition. Certificates are often kept by students for their folios. They are well understood by employers and so can be used as evidence of problem-solving ability.
Congratulations to all students who entered and performed so well.
