Australian Mathematics Competition
Once again, Normanhurst Boys have excelled in the annual
Australian Mathematics Competition. Over 200 boys were
awarded a Distinction or higher. This is an outstanding
achievement and all boys are to be congratulated.
Boys deserving of special mention are the 5 Prize Winners:
Christopher Ho, Geoffrey Li, Timothy Tsang, Mark Virgona,
Christopher Zeng.
There are 32 boys who achieved a High Distinction.
Lions Youth of the Year Quest
This brilliant student leadership activity runs
internationally, nationally and locally. It has been
operating in NSW Schools since 1962 and Normanhurst
has an amazing record. In 1969 Paul Gibbeson (brother of
a recent maths staff member) won the National title and
was rewarded with a world trip to an international
conference, a fore-runner to a great international law
career. The local West Pennant Hills Lions Club donated
our assembly lectern to mark this event.
Kevin Gatdula of Year 11 made an excellent decision to
participate whilst still preparing for the 2012 swimming
carnival and his first HSC assessments. Kevin spoke
brilliantly (on “Making Yourself Interesting”) and many felt
his impromptu presentations outstripped all other
candidates. Unfortunately, Kevin came up against an
exceptional student from Pennant Hills High School and
was placed second after the interview stage. The standard
was amazing and this was the first time in 5 years that a
Normanhurst boy will not be representing the strong West
Pennant Hills – Cherrybrook Lions Club. We wish Nicholas Moor,
Shaun Magee and Sam Wiggins all the best in the quest
next year.
