As part of the Somerset Mathematical Society’s mission to promote a love of Mathematics within the wider community, a team of dedicated Senior School volunteers have been visiting Clover Hill State School each Tuesday morning. Their goal? To support a group of talented and enthusiastic young problem solvers, affectionately known as the Clover Comets.
The program pairs Somerset students with Year 6 Clover Hill students, providing tutoring in high-level problem-solving competitions and Olympiad-style questions. This partnership not only fosters deeper mathematical understanding for the Clover Comets, but also builds confidence and enjoyment in the subject.
For the Somerset students, the experience is equally enriching. Acting as mentors, they are developing vital skills such as leadership, communication, empathy, and the ability to break down complex concepts—all of which are transferable well beyond the classroom.
Research consistently shows that early development of cognitive skills like critical thinking and problem solving is linked to higher educational achievement, increased employability, and more active social engagement. The Clover Comets programme is a shining example of how the Somerset Mathematical Society is working to nurture the next generation of Mathematicians.
We are incredibly proud of all students involved and look forward to seeing the Clover Comets continue to soar!
