Year 8 Math Challenge at Mogo Wildlife Park

On a warm and sunny day, our Year 8 students embarked on an exciting Math Challenge at Mogo Wildlife Park. This unique learning experience combined problem-solving with wildlife encounters, making for a memorable and engaging day outside the classroom.

Students demonstrated excellent teamwork, applying their mathematical skills to a range of challenges set throughout the park. The enthusiasm was evident, with some teams showing an especially competitive spirit as they raced to complete the tasks.

As a reward for their hard work, the winners of the morning session enjoyed a special giraffe or deer feeding experience. This included Hayley and Ava, Isla and Indi, Jaxson and Noah, Kobi and Axel, Hayley and Claire, Parker and Indi, Alice, Charlotte and Lachlan, Noah and Alex, Torah and Harper.

However, the ultimate champions of the day—those who successfully completed all challenges—Molly and Caprice, were treated to an unforgettable meerkat encounter!

A huge congratulations to all students for their positive attitude and participation. Your teamwork and problem-solving skills truly shone! A special thank you to the Year 8 teachers—Mrs Maher, Mrs Zutt, Ms Montgomery, and Miss Blackmore—as well as our dedicated CSAs, Janet and Victoria, for their support in making this day a success.

Despite the warm weather, it was a fantastic day enjoyed by all. Well done, Year 8!
