Maths Olympiad
St Mary’s is taking part in the highly regarded Maths Olympiads for 2024. This is an annual contest that has been offered by Australasian Problem Solving Mathematical Olympiads Inc (APSMO) since 1987 and is designed specifically for high achieving students.
Unlike many other maths competitions, the Olympiads consist of four separate contests held approximately six weeks apart between May and September. The Olympiads are designed to be challenging, however the overall aim is to encourage students to develop important mathematical problem solving skills in an enjoyable environment.
Even though the students will be competing against teams from other schools, they are primarily competing against themselves and trying to improve their skills over the course of the year.
Students who will be participating in this contest will be working with Mrs Ally Mullany throughout the Term to practise and then undertake Maths explorer (Years 3 and 4) and Maths Olympiad (Years 5 and 6).
