Inspired by the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) two French teachers decided to start a similar online competition in France. They called it the ‘Kangaroo’ to pay tribute to their Australian friends. The competition was a big hit and has since been adopted around the world. It is now known as Kangourou sans Frontières: (Kangaroo without borders). It has grown to become one of the largest international mathematics competitions in the world, with more than 6 million participants annually.
Early this year selected students from years 6-10 had the opportunity to participate in the Kangourou sans Frontières (KSF) Math competition. We are pleased to announce that 6 of our students received a credit. Well done to the following students:
