Manor’s mathematicians win House contest

Manor House took the honours in the School’s House Mathematics competition.

Now in its second year, the contest sees boys pitting their wits against each other as they tackle mathematical tasks. Most of the boys taking part are in Years 12 and 13, with a few Year 11 boys also competing.

More than half the teams were still in the running after the first round, before the second stage presented increasingly complex questions and strict time restraints. 

A phenomenal performance by Manor House won the day, with its team managing to avoid dropping even a single mark throughout the evening. 

The winning team consisted of Justin Leung (MH5), Kin-Sing Lau (MH5), Kevin Lee (MH4) and Godwyn Lai (MH4).

Parkside came a very honourable second, with Whitworth third. Last year’s inaugural competition was won by Hill Side.
