Cooke, 11, of St Richards Primary (Surrey); Hinds, 11, from Catherine Hall Primary and Infant (Cornwall); and Peart, 12, from St Catherine Primary (Middlesex), each scored 100 per cent in mathematics this year, the highest averages among the 42,268 students who sat GSAT. Their scholarships are valued each at $50,000.
The students were awarded by Tang at the company's annual GSAT Scholarship Luncheon Awards Ceremony on July 30 at the Medallion Hall Hotel in Kingston."I am overjoyed. I am happy. Scoring the highest in mathematics for my county took late nights at school and I barely got any sleep when studying," said Cooke.
Cooke had also placed fifth in the All-Island Seprod/Butterkist National Primary School Mathematics Competition in June. Read more:
