Maths Olympiad 

Throughout 2024, all students in Year 5/6 have participated in the Australasian Problem Solving Mathematical Olympiads. APSMO has over 100,000 students across Australia and New Zealand participating in maths problem solving programs each year.   These programs are designed to develop a problem solving pathway of achievement and provide both mainstream and high-achieving students with the opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge. Students love participating in this program, challenging themself to solve different problems each time, using different strategies and thinking outside the box.

PAT Testing

The Year 1 to Year 6 students have recently completed the Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) in Reading and Mathematics. PAT tests are designed to assess each student’s current capability against the appropriate standard for their age and are a valuable source of information on each student’s development. Teachers use the PAT data in Maths and English and as moderation to ensure that our classroom assessment of each student is accurate. Teachers also use the results to track each student’s development from year to year. The PAT testing process is just one assessment teachers use to track students' development across the year and help guide future learning and teaching.
