Last Saturday, fifteen students from Bowen State gave up their weekend activities to attend school.

Three teams of students competed for the title of 2019 Mathsminds. They need to solve mental maths and complete two sessions of problem solving.

They commenced the challenge at 10:30 in the morning and at 2:30pm the Bowen State School team of Lucas Gorham, Leo Hird, Brakley Pham, Dylan Bath and Isaac Gorham were announced the 2019 Mathsminds. It was a narrow win, defeating the second placed Queens Beach team by less than one point. 

Congratulations to the three Bowen teams who placed first, third and fourth.

A big shout out to Pizza Hut who donated enough pizzas to feed all seven teams.
