The Mathematics Department is proud to celebrate the successes of Olly who recently participated in the

Maclaurin Olympiad, and both Ben and Alvin who took part in the Pink Kangaroo Follow-up Round. These

Mathematical events are a result of students’ success for previous Mathematical challenges.

The Maclaurin Olympiad challenges students to engage with demanding Mathematical problems that

require persistence, creativity and independent thinking. Olly approached the competition with enthusiasm

and determination, demonstrating a high level of commitment; many congratulations for achieving a

Distinction in the Olympiad!

In the Pink Kangaroo Challenge, Ben and Alvin tackled engaging and thought-provoking questions designed

to apply their Mathematical skills and knowledge in unfamiliar contexts. Ben achieved Gold; a significant

achievement.

Ms Laidler, Deputy Headteacher – Maths Lead commented: It is lovely to see our students going beyond the

National Mathematics Challenge and progressing to further stages. Every student who participates should be

proud of their achievements but these 3 students should be especially commended. Well done to you all.

We commend Ben, Olly and Alvin on their hard work, positive attitude and effort which reflects a strong

culture of achievement and aspiration in Mathematics across Blenheim.
