Local students off to Olympiad in the UK
Four students at the Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology (QASMT) at Toowong have been successful in winning the OzCLO (Australian Computational & Linguistics Olympiad) and will now represent Australia in the International Linguistics Olympiad to be held in The winning QASMT students (l-r) Rebecca Day, Manchester, UK between Alexandra Grant, Laura Boyle, and Martyna Judd. 22-26 July 2013. The OzCLO competition is a Computational and Linguistics Olympiad and round one was held in March 2013. Gifted and talented students from Years 9-12 with a keen interest in English, languages, computing, and solving puzzles and problems, were invited to participate in this exciting team-based national competition. The team, comprised of Year 12 students Rebecca Day and Alexandra Grant, and Year 11 students Martyna Judd and Laura Boyle, entered the Queensland leg of OzCLO and tied for third place and were subsequently invited to participate in the National Final in March. The girls worked tirelessly prior to the finals and their efforts were rewarded as the team were named ‘National Champions’ and given the opportunity to compete against teams from around the world in July. “We are very proud of our daughters’ achievements and their efforts have provided Queenslanders with the opportunity to put one of the State’s highest achieving schools on the world map. We are confident that our OzCLO team will certainly try their hardest at the UK finals and whatever the outcome, their attendance and commitment to the project will certainly mark their school, state and country amongst other world greats,” said parent Tom Boyle. All families involved are required to fund the girls’ travel costs themselves with the assistance of OzCLO and the Griffith University Linguistics Department. Financial sponsorship would be welcomed by the families, and any interested parties are encouraged to contact Tom by sending an email to taboyle@optusnet.com.au or phoning 0422 347 201.
