The Forest High School entered 60 students in the 38th annual Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC). Hundreds of thousands of students in primary and secondary schools from around 30 countries sat the AMC on 30th July. The AMC is a major school mathematics event encompassing an enrichment and problem-solving program. The AMC aims to promote the practical application of mathematics in an enjoyable way to the average student, often uncovering talent not seen in regular classroom tests. Students from Year 3 to Year 12 compete on the same day, making it one of the largest single events on the Australian education calendar and tests everything from basic numeracy skills through to advanced problem-solving.
Of the 60 students from the Forest High School:
- 1 received a Certificate of High Distinction
- 7 obtained a Distinction
- 26 achieved a Credit
- 23 received a Proficiency Certificate
All other students who competed received a Certificate of Participation and every entrant is provided with an individual performance work.
We would like to congratulate all these students on their participation and encouraging results.
