It has been a banner month for our mathematics department! From international stages to local competitions, our students have demonstrated incredible talent, logic, and dedication.
We are thrilled to announce that Polina in Grade 11 recently returned from representing Cyprus at the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) 2026.
The EGMO is a premier international competition designed to challenge the top female mathematics students from across the globe. Competing at just 16 years old, Polina earned an Honourable Mention for her performance, notably securing a perfect score on the first problem of the Olympiad. Representing one's country at this level is a rare honour, and we congratulate Polina on this world-class milestone.
The excellence didn’t stop there. We are also celebrating the results of the Math Kangarou, one of the largest and most beloved mathematical competitions in the world.
Our students took the challenge head-on, showcasing their problem-solving skills and "outside-the-box" thinking. We are proud to share that The Island School students brought home a staggering 20 medals this year!
Whether they were tackling the rigorous proofs of the EGMO or the clever puzzles of the Math Kangaroo, our students have made us proud. We look forward to seeing where their logic and curiosity take them next.
In addition, we are also delighted to celebrate our students’ success in two mathematics olympiads, the Mathematics Olympiad “2×2” and the St. Petersburg Primary School Mathematical Olympiad. Several Island School primary students received awards for their outstanding logical thinking and problem-solving skills in both of these competitions.
