Mathematics played important part in my time at Oundsdale. There were several different aspects this, some good some bad.

Maths Olympiad

Each year the school ran a maths Olympiad. This comprised a series of rounds where the entrants had to solve puzzles related to mathematics. Most questions set as a narrative or a diagram and first you had to work out what the question was. Once that was sorted out you then applied the mathematics to get the answer.

Ounsdale provided me with a sound basis for my career as the wide range of activities had a focus on the practical aspects of education.

My studies up to 'O level' included:

BSc(Hons) (2.1) Electrical Engineering, Portsmouth Polytechnic,  1974
