The Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) was introduced in 1978 as Australia’s first Nationwide mathematics competition for students. It has since spread internationally, with students in more than 30 countries attempting the same problems. Students solve 30 problems in 60 minutes (Years 3–6). The problems are designed to test mathematical thinking and reasoning. This year, Forest Crescent Primary fielded 59 participants from Year 3 to Year 6. Year 3 & 4 students participated in workshops where they explored various methods and concepts needed to solve challenging questions from past papers. Nine students from Year 3, twenty-two from Year 4, twelve from Year 5 and sixteen from Year 6 sat the competition with the following results;
- One student was awarded a High Distinction (Year 3): Ethan C.
- Eleven students were awarded a Distinction (Year 3): Isaiah C, Ezekiel G, Samuel L; (Year 4): Meenakshi R; (Year 5): Huud F, Hayden C, Zakariya A; (Year 6): Brayden L, Jiah L, Ryan G, Alivia H.
