Welcome to Week 17 of The Buzz Newsletter!
It’s Week 17 of The Buzz Newsletter! Happy New Year and welcome back! Congratulations to 4th Year Catherine Huisan Xu who scored an extraordinary 144 out of 150 on the AMC 10, taken by 4th year students worldwide. This places Catherine in the top 1% globally! Well done also to 5th Year Shiqing Zhang who scored an impressive 118.5 in the AMC 12. Both Catherine and Shiqing have met the qualifying threshold for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), best of luck girls!
Well done to our 4th Years who gave up their time over Christmas holidays to volunteer as gift wrappers in Kilkenny Design, in support of the Irish Cancer Society. Volunteering took place throughout December, including weekends, right up until Christmas Eve. On the final day of school before the holidays, they also led our Christmas Jumper Day collection. Thanks to both online and cash donations, an impressive €6,005 was raised for Focus Ireland. Well done all!
