Maths wizards from high schools in the Free State province were generously rewarded for their efforts last weekend. They took part in a province-wide competition, sponsored by the Eskom Development Foundation and run by the provincial Department of Education, in partnership with the Kagiso Trust.
The finals of the Free State Mathematics Festival were held at the Bon Hotel in Bloemfontein on 11 and 12 October, with some 300 participants from grades 8 to 11 entering the final rounds.
Parys High had no fewer than six participants. From Gr. 11 were Seki Weng, Hannes Grimbeek, Louwrens Vos and Lerato Motsapi.
Boikanyo Likhethe and Brendon Jardim were from Gr. 10.
After completing the fifth round, both Seki and Boikan-yo ended among the top 10 in the Free State province. Well done, Parys!
