West End School, Palmerston North

Congratulations to our amazing Year 5 and Year 6 students who recently took part in Mathex! The students worked together as a team, putting their mathematical thinking, problem-solving and teamwork skills to the test.

We are incredibly proud of their fantastic effort, with our teams achieving a Gold and a Silver award.

Well done to all of our students for representing our school so proudly and showing such great determination, teamwork and enthusiasm. What a fantastic achievement!
