Maths Trip to Cambridge

On Friday 23 June the L5 students went to spend the day in Cambridge. They visited the Department of Engineering where they had a talk from Sophie Maclean, who studied Maths at Trinity college, on ‘Putting the Colour into Maths’.

The girls were then split into smaller groups each of which toured a college with a Habs’ girls alumnus currently studying there. They were treated to a student’s view of life at University of Cambridge and were able to ask questions. They were given some free time to explore the town centre and admire the beautiful buildings before returning to school.

A total of twenty two students qualified for the followon round which is called the Junior Kangaroo and took place on 14th June. Rebecca (L4 Alpha), Aimee (L4 A), Scarlett (L4 Aesc), Alexandra (L4 Aesc), Arianna (U4 Aesc), Rosie (U4 Aleph) all achieved a Merit in the Kangaroo.
