Congratulations to the eight Stratford students who were invited to compete in the Bebras Computational Thinking National Finals in May 2020! Over 6000 students entered this competition - so to make the finals is a great achievement. Having 8 students from one school is superb!
While the 2020 Finals were cancelled, each student received a certificate of qualification.
Well done to: Cassie Murphy and Josh Taylor (3rd Year); Sean Noonan and Dónal Ó Maolagáin (TY); Nathan Siung, Jason Li, Ross Gaynor and Togii Chilkhaajav (5th Year).
Students in Computer Studies classes and Computer Science classes are already practising for the Bebras Challenge in November 2020. Why don't you try?
