On Thursday 18th March, 2021, 50 children from our school participated in an online Maths Competition run by the AMT - Australian Mathematics Trust.  The competition they entered was the Kangourou Sans Frontières (KSF).

What is the KSF? 

In 1991, two French teachers inspired by Australian Maths Competition decided to start a similar online competition in France. They called it the ‘Kangaroo’ to pay tribute to their Australian friends.

The competition was a big hit and has since been adopted around the world. It is now known as Kangourou sans Frontières: (Kangaroo without borders). It is now one of the largest international mathematics competitions in the world, with more than 6 million participants annually.

In Australia, Kangourou sans Frontières (KSF) is an online maths competition for Years 3–12. 

So 10 brave Grade 3’s gave it a go. There was a mixture of excitement and nerves as they embarked on their very first maths competition.  They all did an incredible job and were very proud of themselves.  We also were very proud of the way they worked through each question and gave it a go.  Here are our outstanding Grade 3 results:
