What is the SASMO about?



SASMO is a Math Olympiad contest that stretches not only the brightest students but is aimed at instilling confidence for all students.
The contest is designed in a way to make every student love Math again. Our Math Olympiad Contest fits nicely into the school curriculum with a high focus on non routine problem sums – preparing for our contests helps students prepare for the PSLE.
It is an internationally recognized programme – in countries such as USA, Australia, New Zealand, India, Columbia, Iceland and many other countries around the globe.


The Gold Award winners have the opportunity to represent Singapore in the Asia International Mathematical Olympiad Contest 2013 Final in Taiwan.  The competition cum exchange takes place from 27 - 31 July 2013. Let's hope Tianke and Zhaoen will do HSS and Singapore proud! Meanwhile we await for good news from Taiwan!
