CISH is incredibly proud to announce that five of our Maple Dragons have achieved outstanding success in the 2025 Southeast Asian Mathematical Olympiad (SEAMO) and are now invited to compete in the prestigious and advanced SEAMO X Global Round in Bali, Indonesia!
CISH is extremely proud of our Grade 10 student, Rex (Shengwei) Hsu, who completed the Senior Mathematical Challenge organized by the UK Maths Trust and Aseeder.
The UK Maths Trust (UKMT) is the leading British charity that advances the education of young people in mathematics. The UKMT Senior Mathematical Challenges (SMT) are aimed at students in year 13 and below. They are designed to challenge and engage students, make them think, and stimulate problems for both beginners and experienced problem-solvers.
According to Rex, the Senior Mathematical Challenge he participated in is an important international mathematics competition of high standing. All participants completed the exam online using computers and cameras. Candidates need to complete 25 challenging, comprehensive questions in 90 minutes.
Despite the high level of challenge, Rex completed the competition with a Silver Certificate, showing the knowledge and skill he had mastered. As a high school Maple Dragon, representing CISH, he shared: “I think this result is great for me, but there are still many areas that need improvement, especially in Algebra. I want to thank the teachers who guided me, and encouraged me to take this competition, enabled me to achieve this, and let me know the gap between myself and other top students, so that I can improve and achieve even higher in the future.”
Rex’s maths teacher, Mr. Toghrul Guliyev, is beyond excited to see Rex’s hard work pay off. He said, “I am proud to congratulate Rex on earning a Silver certificate in the UKMT Intermediate Mathematical Challenge (IMC). According to the competition guidelines, only the top-scoring 50% of entrants receive certificates, in a ratio of 3:2:1 for Bronze, Silver, and Gold. To achieve Silver, one shows not just strong calculation ability but also a high level of problem-solving skill, resilience, and mathematical curiosity. Since the beginning of the year, I have seen Rex work independently, tackling challenging problems with confidence, seeking out opportunities for extension, and demonstrating imagination and precision in his reasoning. Beyond his own performance, Rex consistently supports his peers: he willingly explains strategies, encourages classmates to persevere when stuck, and contributes to our class with kindness and patience. His combination of independence, talent, and collaborative spirit marks him out as a truly impressive mathematician, and I look forward to seeing how far he will go next.”
