Medal Winning Mathematicians at St Wilfrid's! 

Heartfelt congratulations to our four mathematical stars who came second out of twenty-four schools in this year’s West Sussex Mathematics Competition.  Four Year 9 students, beat in-school trials to make the Grand Final, held at the North East Area Professional Centre on the 3^rd July 2008.

 

It was a close run thing in the morning, with the St Wilfrid’s team in first place through the first three sessions, which included Count Down, Problem-Solving and Practical Maths Puzzles.  Although they slipped into second place in the last two sessions, Mrs Garcia-Troy, Business and Enterprise Coordinator for Maths, was proud of the team’s attitude, “It was a really long day, but the students kept their enthusiasm up.”   Holly Myers, Business and Enterprise Manager at ST Wilfrid’s agrees, “I’m very pleased with how well they’ve done.  Maths is one of our specialist subjects, and I think they’ve proven not only their excellent math skills, but also their positive approach to challenges.  What could be more important?”.

 

 It goes without saying that Conor, Rory, Kuba and Tom deserve our congratulations, but Mrs Garcia-Troy says it anyway, “They were phenomenal!”.
