Best Wishes to St Margaret’s School for Girls' Pupils in Maths Challenges

Lodged by Kevin Stewart Standard Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament wishes pupils at St Margaret’s School for Girls in Aberdeen well in a series of mathematics competitions this year, following their success during 2024; notes that in 2025, S1 to S4 pupils will test their problem-solving skills in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Junior and Intermediate challenges and the Scottish Mathematical Challenge, as well as a variety of challenges at the UKMT team challenge; understands that last term, Hana Park, a senior student from the school, was named Best in Scotland at the Mathematical Olympiad for Girls competition, with a team of sixth year students winning TechFest’s STEM in the Pipeline Competition; believes that competitions such as these give maths students the opportunity to showcase their skills, challenge themselves and apply their learning in more real-world contexts, and wishes all those taking part in the competitions all the very best in their endeavours.
