The SMC is South Australia’s elite mathematics competition and arguably one of the most challenging of the competitions our boys take. They solve 24 questions in 90 minutes, using their knowledge of the curriculum and problem-solving skills they acquire in class and in afternoon preparation sessions.
Any award in this competition is a very pleasing effort, but getting into the top 10 in any division is a truly wonderful achievement. Award winners will be recognised at the Presentation Night to be held at Pembroke School on 23rd June.
It is with great pride we report our results:
