Burnside High School continue to excel in Infomatics

Sandra Pooch —

Five of our students gained top awards in the Australian Infomatics Olympiad Competition.

For the Australian Infomatics Olympiad students write short computer programs to solve six problems that vary in difficulty. The competition does not test computer literacy or knowledge but is focused on problem solving through programming skills.

There are two papers—Intermediate for students up to year 10, and Senior for students up to year 12. Each paper consists of six problems, and students submit the source code for their solutions online during the three-hour contest.

We had 5 students gain awards in this prestigious competition.

Ron Livne 10SWGJ was awarded a Bronze Award. Misha Pavlov 12WHGM, Timothy Fisher- Taylor 13SRT and Jacky Zhang 13 SRT all were awarded Silver Awards.

Grady Kenix 13CHL attained a Perfect Score of 600 points and was awarded a Gold Award.

Congratulations to all of these talented programmers.
