Kangourou sans Frontières (KSF) is the largest maths competition in the world, with more than 6 million participants each year. Held in March, the KSF is a great opportunity for students to experience mathematics in a competition environment prior to the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) in August.
During Term 1, we had 116 students from Year 7 to Year 10 participate in the KSF maths competition. To all the students who participated, whether you tackled many or just one tough problem, your dedication to mathematics is highly commendable. We had 22 students who achieved either Credit or Distinction.
The following students achieved Credit:
