In a resounding display of mathematical prowess, we are thrilled to announce the outstanding achievements of our students at the recently concluded Guang Dong – Hong Kong – Macau Greater Bay Area (Big Bay Bei) Mathematical Olympiad 2023 Heat Round, which took place on December 3, 2023.

Big Bay Bei, an annual competition orchestrated by the esteemed Olympiad Champion Education Center in Hong Kong, welcomes the participation of students from Primary 1 to 12. The competition serves a multitude of purposes, including kindling and nurturing the passion for Mathematics among young minds, fortifying their capacities for creative and critical thinking, and fostering the growth of educational practices across kindergartens, primary, and secondary schools. It also facilitates the exchange of educational cultures among diverse countries.

In the midst of a pool of participants hailing from various corners of Asia, our Xaverians showcased their brilliance, earning well-deserved accolades.
