Waimaths Competition 2026
The atmosphere inside the Hamilton Boys’ High School hall was tense on Thursday 13 August as Te Rapa Primary’s confident mathematical minds took on the annual Waimaths Competition. Competing against schools from across the Waikato region, our teams faced a fast-paced test of logic, speed, and rapid problem-solving.
Waimaths is a true team sport. Working through 20 challenging questions in just 45 minutes, students race against the clock to solve complex puzzles, working directly with judges as they mark each attempt before diving straight into the next challenge while scores update live on the big screen.
Huge congratulations to our teams for their fantastic efforts:
Year 7: Anaya, Amy, Corban, and Tanbir — great collaboration and effort.
Year 8: Clayton H, Liam M, Pearl, and Eric — Showed impressive grit and teamwork throughout the competition.
Thank you to our dedicated teachers and families for supporting us with transport, coaching, and cheering from the sidelines.
Year 7 Team: Anaya, Amy, Tanbir, Corban
Year 8 Team: Pearl, Liam M, Eric, Clayton H
