NIE Mathematics Challenge 2025

The NIE Mathematics Challenge is an annual competition organised by the National Institute of Education, designed to stretch mathematical thinking through non-routine problems that go beyond the school curriculum. The challenge encourages creativity, logical reasoning, and perseverance in problem-solving. Several of our students rose to this challenge, with a number achieving High Distinction and Distinction Awards.

Well done Canberrans, for your exceptional mathematical prowess. To all our budding mathematicians: don't shy away from challenging problems that seem impossible at first glance. Every complex equation you tackle, every creative solution you discover, strengthens your analytical thinking. Mathematics is not just about getting the right answer—it's about developing the resilience to keep trying when the path isn't clear.
