Mathletes at Chippewa struck gold again this year topping Zone 63 in the University of Waterloo math contest in Grades 9 and 10, and earned second place for Grade 11 for team scores. In addition, several students made the honour roll:
- Grade 9: Nate Mitchell, Tracy Wang, Drake Dietrich, Derek Jones, Catherine Lanctot and Adam Valenti.
- Grade 10: Victoria Zhou, Mary Grannary, Ross Kozuskanich and Flore Van Leemput.
- Grade 11: Shawna Armstrong, Hayden Kelso and Alexander Goldgruber.
The students who wrote the test are enrolled in the ExcelleRAIDER or the International Baccalaureate program that has a greater depth and breadth than the regular program. Students also practice solving 'contest-style' problems and take the test annually. This is the second year that Chippewa students have had the highest scores in the city for Grades 9 and 10.
The annual contest sees more than 75,000 students across Canada work to earn top scores and test their skills with others and develop a competitive passion for problem solving. The school edged out the top schools in other northern zone 62 in Grade 9 and zone 61 in Grade 10.
Results for Zone 63 includes North Bay city schools and includes areas north and east including Timiskaming, New Liskeard, Iroquois Falls and Cochrane. The score is an aggregate of the top 3 scores for a school.
