Union High School was recently presented with a ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ต ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ by the South African Mathematics Foundation. This award acknowledges the schoolโs annual participation in the SA Mathematics Olympiad for the past 20 years.
Union congratulates all our current and past math educators for ensuring that our young math enthusiasts participate in this event!
Union High School is proud of our long-standing association with this national Olympiad and look forward to participating again in future.
The South African Mathematics Olympiad (SAMO) is South Africaโs biggest Olympiad. Approximately 100 000 high school learners from Grade 8 to Grade 12 participate annually. Through participation in this event, Union hopes to generate enthusiasm and curiosity for the subject in our learners. Mathematics competitions are becoming more and more important as it emphasizes that the school subject called “Mathematics” isnโt just about mechanical calculations or numeracy, but about thinking and the discovery, and validation, of problem-solving methods.
