Students from our six primary partner schools attended our annual Lawrence Hargrave Mathematics challenge Day. Mr Ellis, the Principal of Colo Heights public School, hosted the day with Mrs Smith at Hawkesbury High. Year 9 students mentored the primary students and points were awarded per challenge throughout the day.
This year Zane Whitney, aka 'the human calculator', successfully conducted his first student challenge.
What students said:
"I love maths"
"I wish we could do this all the time"
"Its fun being a mentor, the primary kids are fun."
"It's fun to see teachers from our primary school."
What teachers said:
"Thank you Mr Ellis for a wonderful day!"
"These days are always fun, the kids love it and we try to do the challenges too."
