by Rosie Moscoso, Math Department Chair

In the general assembly held last Dec. 9, the school honored its top-performing Math wizards for their outstanding achivements in two international competitions: the 2009 Australian Mathematics Competition, and the Wizards in Math International Competition in Lucknow, India.

img_4404.JPGThe Australian Mathematics Competition is facilitated by the Australian Mathematics Trust, which aims to highlight the significance of mathematics and to provide students an opportunity to discover their talents in this field of study. According to Wikipedia, since its inception in 1976 in the Australian Capital Territory, the participants have increased to 600,000 where 100,000 come from outside Australia. It is estimated to be the world’s largest mathematics competition.

Last August 6, 2009, Xavier School participated in the 2009 Australian Mathematics Competition. Over 2,000 Filipino elementary and high school students took part in the AMC, which was jointly administered in the Philippines by Australian Mathematics Trust representatives, Mathematics Trainers’ Guild-Philippines (MTG), and the Science Education Institute of the Department of Science and Technology.

During the competition, students from different schools in Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific solved thirty problems that ranged from easy to highly challenging questions. Our representatives from Xavier High School participated in two categories: the Junior Paper Category (for High 1 and High 2) and the Intermediate Paper Category (for High 3 and High 4).

The following are the students who placed well and were awarded certificates. The first group was given the Certificate of Credit awarded to a student who belongs to the top 50% in his category. The following students received the Certificate of Credit:

1. Nathaniel Ryan Ang – H1C

2. David Christopher Gozali – H1B

3. Kyle Isaac Kua – H1B

4. Peter Nicholas Onglao – H1C

5. Paul Louis Dee – H2G

6. Philip Armand Gozali – H2G

7. Raphael Lee – H2A

8. Kenrik Royce Ng – H2A

9. Earl Alexjeandre Tan – H2G

The second group received the Certificate of Distinction, awarded to a student who belongs to the top 15% of his category. The Certificates of Distinction were awarded to:

1. Brendon Matthew Go – H1D

2. Royce Adrian Tee – H1D

3. Sigmund Ty – H1B

4. Benedict Co – H2G

5. Aldrich Mayoralgo – H2A

6. Ryan Carl Yu – H3C

7. Evan Niccolo Lao – H4A

8. Marquis Alexandre Tan – H4B

In addition, one of our own students participated in the 2009 Wizards at Mathematics International Competition as part of a 20-member team from the Philippines, last October 27 – 30, 2009. By the end of the 4-day competition, the RP team had won 25 medals: 4 gold, 11 silver and 10 bronze, finishing second in the seven-nation contest. Nathaniel Ryan Ang of H1C earned one of the Philippines’ individual gold medals and another gold in the team category.

Congratulations to our Math wizards! Luceat Lux!
