Am 25. und 26. März fand an unserer Schule der diesjährige Känguru-Wettbewerb der Mathematik statt. Über 80 Schülerinnen und Schüler stellten sich den kniffligen Multiple-Choice-Aufgaben, die nicht nur mathematisches Wissen, sondern auch logisches Denken und kreatives Problemlösen erforderten. Der Wettbewerb, der ursprünglich aus Australien stammt und mittlerweile in über 80 Ländern stattfindet, begeistert jedes Jahr Millionen von Teilnehmern.
Die meisten unserer Schüler hatten viel Spaß an den abwechslungsreichen Aufgaben, doch gerade die schwierigeren Fragen brachten einige an ihre Grenzen. Dennoch: Durchhalten lohnt sich, denn neben der Herausforderung winken Teilnahmeurkunden und ein Preis für den besten jeder Klassenstufe.
Sobald die Ergebnisse vorliegen, werden wir euch natürlich informieren. Wir sind gespannt, wer in diesem Jahr den weitesten Känguru-Sprung – die größte Punktzahl – geschafft hat!

Knobeln, Grübeln und Grenzen testen

On March 25 and 26, our school hosted this year’s Kangaroo Mathematics Competition. More than 80 students took on the tricky multiple-choice questions, which required not only mathematical knowledge but also logical thinking and creative problem-solving. The competition, originally from Australia and now held in over 80 countries, excites millions of participants every year.
Most of our students enjoyed the diverse challenges, but some found the more difficult questions particularly demanding. Nevertheless, perseverance pays off, as all participants receive a certificate, and the best student in each grade level is awarded a prize.
We will share the results as soon as they are available. We are eager to see who achieved the longest “Kangaroo Jump” this year – the highest score!

On the 2nd of April, students from Years 3 to 6 ventured to The King's School in Parramatta to represent GISS at the IPSHA Cross Country carnival. Seventeen athletes in total endured a winding, challenging course and were pushed to their running limits. Years 3 and 4 runners completed a 2-kilometre loop of the school, while Years 5 and 6 participants undertook a 3-kilometre course. Students ran over various surfaces and were challenged on the final 200 metre stretch as they pushed themselves uphill towards the finish line.
A special mention to Arelie in Year 4 who came 4th out of 124 participants in her race and has been selected to represent IPSHA at the CIS Cross Country carnival in June. An incredible effort! Well done team GISS and keep running! - Mr Crundwell
