Savremena’s students participate in the International Mathematical Kangaroo Contest

On Thursday, 16 March, Savremena’s students participated in the International Mathematical Kangaroo Contest where they achieved notable results. On that day, mathematics brought students from over 60 countries together, as they pondered and solved the same maths problems at their schools.

Maths erasing borders

Owing to their great logical and combinatorial thinking, an excellent understanding of given tasks and, above all, correct application of acquired mathematical knowledge, Savremena’s students achieved great results at the contest.

Second-year student Nikola Orlić had the best score, with only a few points separating him from the maximum number of points. He was closely followed by Nikola Vračar, Ana Petrović, Ana Vujović, Nikoleta Đorović, Aleksandar Zaplatić and Tara Papić. Savremena’s students shared the same challenges, puzzles, questions and thoughts with as many as 3.5 million students around the world who took part in the contest.

Fostering love for natural sciences at Savremena

Since the main idea of the Kangaroo competition is to popularise maths and increase interest in natural sciences in general, we can conclude that the set goal was achieved at Savremena. Savremena’s students approached this international project with great joy and excitement and enjoyed the challenges set before them as they developed their mathematical competencies.

Congratulations to our successful mathematicians whose commitment and devotion will ensure great results in the future

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
Contemporary in any sense of the word, our school offers functional knowledge and quality preparation for tertiary education in Serbia and abroad. Implementing modern and creative teaching in the classroom, where the teachers’ pedagogy and students’ performance are aligned with the highest academic standards for the high-school finals, our school develops linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, cultural, technical and ICT competence, which is a prerequisite for further education and professional development. Teaching is supported by the interactive whiteboards and educational software, whereas practice exercises research and critical thinking.
