KDVP ‘mathletes’ excel at Wits tournament

In spite of the disruptions of 2020, 28 students at King David High School Victory Park participated in the Wits Mathematics Competition in the third quarter, with five students – Brent Butkow, Dan Rom, Jonah Kollenberg, Jarrod Kapelushnick, and Samuel Blou – qualifying for the final round of the competition.

In the team competition, the school’s senior team was placed fourth overall in Gauteng, and in the individual competition, Brent Butkow was placed third.

Maths Head Liesl le Roux said, “ We’re happy that in spite of the challenges of the year, our mathletes had plenty of opportunity to flex their mathematical muscles.”
