Columba College entered three senior Mathematics teams into the annual O'Mathalon Mathematics quiz at Logan Park High School on Thursday 10 August. The team comprising of Megan Guest, Ellena Khoo, Renee Grant and Jamie McAuslan achieved a top 10 finish. Our second team comprising of Kate Truman, Isabelle Keeling, Heather Robertson and Charlotte Smith also performed well placing just outside the top 10. Our final team comprising Yufei Cao, Panada Phradum, Gevalin Wongweerakit and Bella Han also placed outside the top 10 but gained valuable experience and had plenty of fun!
