QAMT Maths Competition Round Two
On Tuesday, 14th October, some of our Year 5/6 and Year 7/8 students competed in Round Two of the QAMT Maths Quiz. Roma State College once again hosted the quiz, and all teams were prepared for the challenge. Each session tested the students’ understanding and knowledge of estimation, speed, and general mathematical concepts, working both as a team and individually.
All teams were amazing! The team spirit and camaraderie between both Roma schools were exceptional. The results in each division ended in favour of St John’s. Well done to all of the students who participated, and a massive thank you to those who stepped in at the last minute. Thank you for your dedication to the competition, your respect for the teachers and Senior Roma State College students who assisted, and the way you represented yourselves and your school.
