Nineteen of our brightest mathematical minds recently took on the challenging University of Otago Junior Mathematics Competition.

This isn't just about formulas; it's a true test of both mathematical skill and careful reading.

We saw firsthand that students who take the time to deeply understand the questions—working out exactly what's being asked—consistently perform better than those who rush. It's a fantastic lesson in precision for all subjects!

A massive congratulations to the following students who demonstrated outstanding ability and dedication in solving complex mathematical problems:

Qichen Li  Distinction   

Isabella Wei Merit              

Olivia Chow Merit 

Ava Preece   Merit 

Zita To Merit 

Carolyn Xiao Merit 

Julia Hu Merit

Lily Rumball Merit

What These Awards Mean

These achievements place our students among the best in the country:

• Distinction is awarded to the top 15% of competitors in New Zealand.

• Merit is awarded to the top 50% of competitors in New Zealand.

We're incredibly proud of all 19 students who participated and pushed themselves!
