Tom Hunter Challenge Success!
Meghann, Katie, Shae, Ewan, Lily, Connor, Jake, Eibhlinn and Corin represented Doon Academy at the pan Ayrshire final of the Sir Tom Hunter challenge at the West Coast Accelerator. The pupils were a credit to the school and pitched their innovative idea for mental health board games to be used in PSE.
With some extremely strong competition from other schools, we triumphed again and the pupils were awarded joint first place with Largs Academy.

Over 270,000 pupils from across the UK took part with roughly the top 6% receiving a gold certificate, the next 13% a silver certificate and the next 21% a bronze certificate. The Maths Challenge provides material to provoke students’ mathematical thinking and test their problem solving skills.
