‘At the end of the competition, we were thrilled to achieve first place amongst the other schools in our region, losing only two marks throughout the entire competition, landing us as official competitors in the Nationals! While the scores were exciting, what truly mattered was the experience we gained—learning to think on our feet, communicate effectively, and enjoy the beauty of mathematics in a competitive setting.
Participating in the Team Maths Challenge was an unforgettable experience that strengthened our passion for Mathematics. We returned to school with new insights, a deeper appreciation for problem-solving, and an eagerness to tackle more mathematical challenges in the future. We encourage other students to take part next year and experience the thrill of competitive maths for themselves!’

‘I had a great time; although the maths was challenging, I felt like we had a lot of support that successfully helped people with varying levels of confidence. I learned a lot and, more importantly, I found things that really interested me that I’m excited to pursue further. Being away from home wasn’t as hard as I thought – I enjoyed the evening activities and made new friends.’

‘The Summer School was a truly unique and unforgettable week. Each and every day was filled with thought provoking and exciting sessions run by the wonderful volunteers. Being surrounded by keen mathematicians, both older and the same age, has ignited even more determination in me to pursue the field further than I already had before.’
