The Mathematics department has had a great start to Term 3 with high student engagement in classroom activities. Last week, our IGNITE students in years 7 and 8 participated in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Congratulations to all students who participated! We look forward to celebrating their success when the results are published. Thank you to Miss Mahipus for supervising the students during this competition.
