We are excited to introduce a regular “Learning at Our School” feature in our school newsletter. Each edition, one of our curriculum leaders will share insights into teaching and learning across the school, highlighting what students are exploring in the classroom and how we support their growth. 

Maths Club at CPS

This year, our Year 5/6 Maths Club has continued to provide an extension opportunity for students with an interest in mathematics and problem solving. 

Meeting fortnightly during lunchtime, students have been developing their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills through a variety of challenging tasks. As part of the club, students participate in the Australian Problem Solving Mathematical Olympiads (APSMO), a national program that encourages students to apply their mathematical thinking to non-routine problems. 

Throughout the year, students complete four APSMO competition papers, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and challenge themselves alongside students from across Australia.

It has been wonderful to see students approach complex problems with curiosity, perseverance, and enthusiasm while working collaboratively and sharing different strategies.
