Students at St Michael's Catholic Academy in Billingham are celebrating impressive success in the Year 11 Mathematical Competition for Girls, with several pupils earning awards for their outstanding performances.

The competition provided an excellent opportunity for students to challenge themselves, develop their mathematical thinking and showcase their problem-solving skills.

Connie L and Jess R achieved the even higher accolade of **Certificates of Distinction**, a fantastic accomplishment that reflects their dedication and mathematical ability.

### Celebrating Courage and Determination

Staff are incredibly proud not only of the students who received awards but of all eight girls who chose to take part.

Competitions such as these encourage pupils to think deeply, tackle challenging problems and develop confidence in their abilities while fostering a love of mathematics.
