    Diocesan School for Girls pupils Cayden Barker and Sally-Anne Allsop, together with St Andrew's Prep's Kieron Baart and Bas Paton, will make up a team of four Grade 7s from Grahamstown to compete in the International Mathematics Competition in Bulgaria later this year.

    Diocesan School for Girls pupils Cayden Barker and Sally-Anne Allsop, together with St Andrew's Prep's Kieron Baart and Bas Paton, will make up a team of four Grade 7s from Grahamstown to compete in the International Mathematics Competition in Bulgaria later this year.

    St Andrew's pupil Nic Kroon, and Chris Matthews, from Kingswood, College, were selected to represent South Africa in the Grade 9 version of the competition.

    The Grahamstown pupils are among 16 Grade 9s and 16 Grade 7s to compete in the event, which is held in a different country each year.

    The previous two competitions were in Bali and Taiwan respectively.

    The teams are city or region-based and this year Grahamstown joined forces with the Western Cape.

    The Grade 9s from St Andrew's, DSG and Kingswood wrote two gruelling selection tests, competing with top maths pupils from schools such as Bishops, SACS, Rondebosch and Westerford.

    The first test narrowed the field down to 10, leaving four locals in the running – Nick Murray, Zak Schlebusch and Nic Kroon, from St Andrew's, and Chris Matthews from Kingswood College.

    The second test had the boys sweating and gave them a taste of what the standard is internationally.

    Nic Kroon and Chris Matthews made it into the final team of four.

    They will be heading off to compete in Bulgaria at the end of June.
