During Terms 3 and 4, Year 5 - 8 students have competed in the QAMT Maths competition. The first round was held at Chinchilla State High School during Term 3. We sent three Year 5/6 teams and three Year 7/8 teams to the competition. OLSCC won round 1 in both the 5/6 category and the 7/8 category. From there, the two winning teams competed online in round 2, which saw all the winners from the regional rounds compete against each other. The 7/8 team finished second and due to the first team pulling out, advanced OLSCC to the State Final. The Year 7/8 team of Emma Cusack, Jack Gibson and Zane Stirling competed in the State Final against 16 other school from across the state. We competed against schools such as Queensland Academy of Maths, Science and Technology, Brisbane Boys College, Brisbane Grammar School, Sunshine Coast Grammar, Cathedral College and Rockhampton Grammar just to name a few. Whilst we didn't finish in the top 5, we still placed in the top 17 of the state. Well done to all involved. The teams were as follows:
