As with previous problems, coming up with a solution required some sound problem-solving skills typical of those needed and employed in the Department of Engineering Science. All participants all enjoyed the competition and learnt something in the process. A detailed judges' report with brief comments on every team's entry will be released next week but for now, here are the results you have all been waiting for.

"I've been in Cambridge for over a month now and it's an interesting place, to say the least; there's always something going on - a debate at the Union Society, formal hall dinners, conferences such as "Silicon Valley Comes to Cambridge"... Add in the workload and the daily life, and it all makes for very intense 8-week terms. Some days it can almost feel like too much (namely, the day before my supervisions, which is not unlike having interviews twice a week...), but I never forget how I lucky I am to be here. |
Congratulations to Wei Wu.
The 2011 and 2012 English external examination results demonstrated the incredibly high standards achieved by students in the English department at ACG Senior College.
2012 recipient of the Principal’s Award, Max Jeffs has taken up a position at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra and has begun lectures, studying for a PhB – the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours). This is “an exciting research-focused degree. The PhB (Honours) in Science is for intellectually ambitious students who want to study at the highest level. Every student receives intensive individual attention and is supported by their mentor.” 
2012 Valedictorian, Monica Chen, has been successful in her application to the prestigious MBBS bachelor of medicine/bachelor of surgery programme at the University of Adelaide. We wish Monica good luck as she heads off to Adelaide soon to begin her studies. Monica is an outstanding scholar, she scored four A* grades in her A-Level examinations English Literature, Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, with a remarkably consistent 92% in each subject, she also achieved 91% in AS-Level Physics! In addition to her excellent academic achievements, Monica’s contributions in the wider school community were very impressive. She organised and led groups of students in
A Level students at Senior College sat a total of 270 A Level papers in 2012. The results released last week were the best ever in ten years of students taking CIE courses.
Congratulations to Monica Chen, awarded a University of Otago Academic Excellence Scholarship – the University's premier undergraduate scholarship, awarded as a reflection of Monica's achievements and potential. Monica plans to study medicine and begins her course in 2013.
143 teams from 69 schools all over New Zealand participated in the University of Auckland "New Zealand's Next Top Engineering Scientist" event. This was the fourth year the competition has been run and the general standard of entries was again very high.
