Why was the maths textbook looking so sad?
Because it had too many problems!!
Yes, it was that time of year again. Maths Week 2025 was held in term 3 with a week full of fun and engaging activities for both students and staff. Students tested their skills with our daily quizzes, guessed the number of lollies in a jar and put their artistic skills to hand in the Year 9 colouring competition. Staff also got involved with their own guess the number of lollies in a jar and students sharpened their puns to submit their best worst maths jokes.
A dedicated team of mathematicians from Mrs McCormack’s Year 12 Maths class helped to organise the activities and prizes. Here are the winners:
Year 9 activity – drawing with coordinates

We thank all students and staff who took the time to support Maths Week 2025. We encourage students of all levels to get involved again next year.
