Further developing problem solving concepts and strategies, the Australasian Problem Solving Mathematical Olympiads (APSMO) provides an opportunity for high-achieving maths students to take up the challenge and pit their skills against other teams from across Australia and New Zealand. Year 7 and Year 8 students at SHC are invited to participate in five olympiads across the year that encourage them to think outside the box and apply their maths skills in new situations.

For the 2021 season we have over 40 students from across Year 7 and Year 8 who have nominated themselves to participate in the olympiads, which is a fantastic turnout and the highest we've ever had! We're so proud of the next generation of mathematicians and cannot wait to see what they accomplish this year.

Me and my friends have had an amazing time participating in the Maths Olympiad so far this year. It’s been a great experience and I can’t wait to continue with it next term!
