On Friday May 25th, a team of five of our top senior mathematicians (Lauren Paterson, Bronte Alexander, Ravneet Dillon, Nicole Clough and Rosemary Zielinski) took part in the annual ANU Maths Day among more than 30 other College teams from Canberra and the region.
The competition consists of four contests including cross number puzzles, swiss contests and relays and involved sophisticated Maths problems, some of which had to be done without a paper and pen and all of which had to be done without a calculator! It was a great mix of fun and gruelling maths and our girls performed very positively and enthusiastically throughout the day. They placed an impressive seventh overall and it was Merici College’s third best result in 25 years. Congratulations to the team!!
