2023 Squad Announcement

Last week we hosted the 2023 Annual NZMOC Training Camp, which was a great success. It was nice to hold the camp in person after holding the previous one online due to Covid-19. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Jane Street, everyone had a lot of fun, staff and students alike. Lecturers gave as much maths to the students as they could, and the standard at the camp was very high. I am very proud of all the students, as even getting to the camp is a fantastic achievement.

New Zealand’s training squad for the 2023 International Mathematical Olympiad was announced during the Squad Selection Ceremony on Friday evening. The final team of six to travel to Chiba, Japan in July 2023 will be decided in April.
