Mangahigh - RockStars of Maths Challenge

Over the next two weeks all our Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 Foundation Maths students will be competing against schools all over the world in the RockStars of Maths Challenge on Mangahigh, our Maths Homework program.

The goal is for students to successfully complete as many maths activities on Mangahigh as possible over the 13-24th August. They are working towards earning 150 points to gain a Gold Medallion, or 400 points to upgrade to the Special Legends Medallion!

Students can earn medals by completing activities assigned by their teacher, recommended (Virtual Tutor) tasks, browsing the curriculum or even by playing games.

Earlier this year students competed in the Mangahigh Maths Ninja Challenge.

A big congratulations to our medal winners:

• Gold Medal - Grace Neicho (9 Regis)
• Silver Medal - Amy Thompson (7 Lewis)
• Silver Medal - Lauren McInerney (8 Owen)
• Bronze Medal - Paris Copperwaite (9 Regis)

And congratulations to the following students who earned a Certificate of Achievement:

• Charlie Smale (7 Ricci)
• Zara Howell (7 Ricci)
• Felicity Devereux (9 Regis)
• Harper Renkauskas (9 Thomas)
• Marcus Manzi (7 Claver)

We’re sure that even more of our students will earn medals this time!

Maths Help is on a new day!

All students are welcome to come along on a Thursday lunchtime to room X05 to get some help with topics they are finding difficult or just to catch up on their homework.

Each week there are Maths teachers and VCE students available to give assistance. A reminder notice is placed on Xuno every Thursday morning. We look forward to seeing students take advantage of this service.
