Mathematics Gifted and Talented Program at WCCS
There is a profound connection between Mathematics and God in His creation. The study of Mathematics provides a window into understanding the intricate order and design in the universe. At William Carey Christian School, we offer programs for students gifted in Mathematics, who seek to excel in their abilities and enjoyment of the subject. This provides opportunities for them to delight and develop in this special area. In the light of this, we want to congratulate the following students who performed well in some of these Mathematics competitions and activities:

Year 10 Talented Day with Inquisitive Minds
We once again hosted the Year 10 Talented Day at WCCS, after a couple of years off. In September, around 70 talented Year 10 students from William Carey Christian School, Tyndale Christian School, Broughton Anglican College and Shell Harbour Anglican College competed in a day of fun activities designed to activate their cognitive abilities and improve their problem-solving skills. Students had opportunities to work with peers from other schools, providing opportunities to fellowship and help some of them to extend their comfort zone. Congratulations to Broughton Anglican College team who, took out the Inquisitive Minds trophy for the Southwest Sydney Region. Thanks to everyone for making this day a success, especially to the Year 12 Extension 1 Maths class for helping to mark the answers in the afternoon.
