In April, the Maths department invited students from Years 7 & 8 to sit th UKMT Junior Maths Challenge. The Maths Challenge is a national competition that encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems.
Only the top 40% of scorers nationally are awarded certificates and this year UKMT had one student that not only secured Gold but was invited to sit the follow-up round called the UKMT Junior Kangaroo Challenge, much like the JMC but harder.
Deeksha Pant in Year 8 was awarded the Best in School Award for her age group as well as winning the Gold.
Other winners were: Manraaj Pangali (Year 8), Samishka Khurana, Vaibhav Raj, Hassan Abbas, Yasmin Hassan, and Saran Somrah all in Year 7.
