A number of passionate mathematics students, in Years 7 to 12 participated in the Australian Mathematics Competition in September.
Students from Somerset College achieved excellent results and those students whose achievements were outstanding were rewarded with Certificates of Credit, Distinction, High Distinction and a Prize.
In total, 38 students were awarded Distinctions, and 45 students were awarded Credits and Proficiencies. Five students were awarded High Distinction certificates - four of these achieved in the 98th percentile rank, while one was in the 99th percentile rank.
For the second year running, Oscar Credland-Ballantyne (Year 9) achieved the award for Best in School and was awarded a Prize. A prize is awarded generally to no more than one student for every 300 students within their year group.
