At the end of Term Three, a number of passionate mathematics students, in Years 7 to 12 participated in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Students from Somerset College achieved excellent results and those students whose achievements were outstanding were rewarded with Certificates of Credit, Distinction, High Distinction and a Prize.

In total, 29 students were awarded Distinction certificates and 41 students were awarded Credit certificates.  8 students were awarded High Distinction certificates - three of these achieved in the 100-percentile rank.

Oscar Credland-Ballantyne (Year 8) achieved the award for Best in School and was awarded a Prize. A prize is awarded generally to no more than one student for every 300 students within their year group.
