We`ve been celebrating success in the Maths department recently after the achievements of 28 students in two prestigious national mathematics competitions: the UKMT Girlsβ Maths Challenge and the Maths Olympiad for Girls. Both competitions are designed to encourage girls to pursue mathematics and to showcase the talent already in the classroom.
The students have just received their certificates, recognising their problem-solving skills, mathematical creativity and perseverance. Behind each of these certificate is hours of curiosity, persistence and problem-solving that goes well beyond the curriculum.
Congratulations girls!

Last week Concord students interested in pursuing a career in Medicine were lucky enough to attend a talk in the theatre by Retired Lieutenant Commander Victoria Graham.
Victoria talked about the challenges of living and working in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan where she established the full-time burns unit and plastic surgery nurse role. It was for these efforts that she received the prestigious Queen`s Commendation for Valuable Service (QCVS).
Thank you to Victoria for hosting such a fascinating talk and to our Student Futures team for organising the event.
