WESTERN Cape pupils have dominated this year’s Standard Bank Programming Olympiad, clinching all six medals up for grabs.

The annual coding contest, attended by 6 941 pupils from high schools across the country, saw South African College School (SACS) matric pupil Bronson Rudner winning the gold medal and the coveted Standard Bank trophy.

Rudner won R11 000 for himself and R5 000 for his school.

He has been hailed a veteran of four International Maths Olympiads and was a member of the South African team at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) in Kazan, Russia, earlier this year.
