Math Challenge @ Western Programme

This programme is for students who enjoy mathematics, wish to extend their mathematical repertoire beyond the school curriculum and prepare for mathematics contests. One registration fee of $30 per student, payable to Tom Griffiths, allows them to attend as many of the session levels in which they wish to participate. This money will be used to fund students competing in Mathematics Contests out of the city and pay other programme expenses such as equipment and prizes. All teachers are volunteers and receive no remuneration.

You will find below the schedule for 2011 - 2012.

You can download a REGISTRATION FORM HERE.

Please duplicate this information as required. Even though we state grade levels, these are a guide and should not be considered as a restriction. For example, we are happy to have grade 4 students attend the grade 5/6 session or grade 7 or 8 students attend thegrade 9/10 session if they have appropriate desire, experience and ability. It is expected that the students will work at home on the problems handed out in class and be prepared to discuss them in class.

Please mail your registration form and fee to the address on the form. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL RECORD BUT NOT ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE REGISTRATION FEE. If there are any problems concerning the Registration Form, we will take care of them at the first session.

There are no books required for the programme, but we can recommend books appropriate to augment the students’ studies.

We will be accepting registrations beginning 1st April, 2011 for the October 2011 to April 2012 sessions. When our maximum numbers for each session are reached, subsequent registrants will be notified and placed on a waiting list. Please register early so as not to be disappointed.

PLEASE ARRIVE AT CLASS TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE CLASS IS DUE TO START SO THAT WE CAN START ON TIME.
We reserve the right to request students to leave who behave inappropriately and/or distract others.
