Cobblebank Student Excels in Maths Competition

A huge congratulations to Year 8 Cobblebank Campus student Ayaan, who earned a Distinction in the 2026 Australian Maths Trust Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition.

Ayaan took on this rigorous challenge as part of our High Ability Program. To give you an idea of just how impressive his achievement is, this outstanding result places Ayaan in the top 15% of students in his year level across the entire region.

The CAT competition isn't your typical math test. It’s a fast-paced, one-hour event crafted by leading educators and industry experts to push the limits of student problem-solving.

Students tap into pure logical and creative thinking, making it a fantastic way for them to uncover a hidden knack for computer programming.

Mastering a tough lateral-thinking challenge like this is no small feat, and we are incredibly proud of Ayaan for his dedication and success.

We also want to applaud all our Year 8 High Ability Program students who stepped up to test their skills this year.

It takes real grit to tackle problems this advanced, and every single participant has earned a well-deserved certificate to recognise their hard work and determination.
