2022 Squad Announcement

This week we hosted the 2022 Annual NZMOC Training Camp, which was a great success. For the first time the camp was run entirely online, with lectures being held via Google Classroom and Google Meet, and socializing happening via Discord. 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.
