Education
Extra Curricular

 

I have managed and led many after-school activities including the stop-motion animation club, debating club, science club and online maths puzzle club. I have been the administrator of the school’s fantasy football league, the make-up designer for school productions. Managed the running of the Maths competitions such as UKMT and ASMA. I enjoy designing the Mathematics department pages for the Yearbook every year and I created the webpage for the South East Asian Mathematics Competition (SEAMC) in Hong Kong. I have also co-ordinated service opportunities for students where they provide Maths tuition for younger students.
