Mr George Harvey, of Canberra. George has retired but was Head of Mathematics at what is now St Clare's College in Canberra.

He has served with distinction as moderator of the Australian Mathematics Competition for the Westpac Awards since almost the beginng of this event 27 years ago.

In more recent years he has also served as a moderator for the Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians.

Possibly the only moderator of both of the Trust's large events, George has developed a reputation as one of the most fastidious moderators, using his eye for detail to detect and anticipate any possible misunderstanding which might be possible.
