Published on: 23 September 2013
Christ Church has once again excelled in the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) and Australian Informatics Competition (AIC). The School received a record 23 prizes in the Senior School and four prizes in the Preparatory School.
Alexander Chua (Year 12) and William Hu (Year 7) were awarded medals in the AMC, of which only 25 are awarded in Australia. In the AIC, Terry Pham (Year 10) and William Hu (Year 7) received perfect scores.
Head of Mathematics Jan Honnens said it was the School’s best result to date in the competitions. “In 2012 we won prizes in the AMC in every Senior School year for the first time,” Mr Honnens said. “This year, we have been awarded prizes in both the AMC and AIC in every year group.”
