Congratulations to Tunan Shi from St Kevin’s College, Toorak, who has been awarded a silver medal in the 32nd International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).

Tunan was the highest placed Australian student in the IOI, coming 69th out of 343 contestants.

Four Australian students in total competed against 86 countries in IOI 2020, making this the second consecutive year that all Australian students who competed earned a medal.

Tunan was selected to represent Australia from an annual program of competitions, training schools and mentoring.

Australian Maths Trust (AMT) CEO Nathan Ford said: ‘Australia has an excellent reputation for producing young problem-solvers and to see our students reach such great heights on the top international stage is remarkable, especially during COVID.’

AMT’s Olympiad programs are funded through the Australian Government’s National Innovation and Science Agenda. They are also supported by AMT’s National Sponsor of the Australian Informatics and Mathematical Olympiads, Optiver.
