Grades 6 , 7 and 8 compete in the European Maths Challenge On the 6th and 7th of November Grades 6, 7 and 8 competed in the European Maths Challenge 2012. This was an Online Mathematics Competition where students took part in a 48hr competition of mathematical action right across Europe! Hundreds of thousands of students in schools and homes across the region battled to prove their mathematical prowess. On Day 1 of the competition, students were exposed to 50 curriculum - based questions to determine their registered year level. On Day 2, students had 100 challenges across 10 levels of live competition. PSI achieved fantastic results: congratulations to Daniel J. for achieving 18th place in the top 100 students in Europe in the Secondary Division.
