UNSW Canberra Prize for Best Female in Mathematics Thursday 8 March, 2018
Congratulations to Annalise Lennon (Year 10) and Rebecca Fergusson (Year 8) who were both awarded the UNSW Canberra Prize for Best Female in Mathematics.
The UNSW has begun a new initiative – awarding prizes to the best female Maths student in Years 8 and 9 across schools in the ACT. The students were nominated last year by the Merici College Maths staff and today received their awards at a special presentation at ADFA today, Thursday 8 March.
This report was focussed on the Year 12 Graduating Class of 2017 cohort. The data was obtained from a Destinations Survey sent out to all students in mid-late January, after the December round offers for university placement.
The student survey related to:
• Plans for 2018 - categorised into further study, full time employment and a Gap year
• Plans for 2019- if they were taking a Gap year
• Type of study
• Institution of study
