Students have also participated in

Math Olympiad competitions. Our first Math Olympiads were within the classrooms and then a whole year 6 competition took place for house points. Well done to the Pandas for finishing on top!

Finally, UISG entered 3 teams into an Interschool Math Olympiad competition. We are very proud of all students who participated and demonstrated teamwork, commitment and excellent mathematical reasoning. UISG received two medals for outstanding mathematical knowledge and understanding.
