Sign up for Australian Mathematics Competition AMC Sep 2023

Dear Parents,

Thank you for the support you gave us with respect to enrolling your children in various Mathematics competitions. Many of our students competed favorably locally regionally and globally in various competitions and scooped top prizes. These competitions allow students to challenge themselves and demonstrate their progress in Maths. We would love to see as many of our students as possible representing BSB.

This academic year has started with some exciting competition opportunities for BSB students. With Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) around the corner, we hope you will be able to enroll your child to take part in this challenge.

The Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT) is a national non-profit organization whose purpose is to enrich the teaching and learning of mathematics for students of all standards. AMT holds mathematics and informatics competitions, administers enrichment activities, conducts workshops for students and teachers, and publishes books on mathematical enrichment for Australian and international students. The AMT is based at the University of Canberra with representatives on our board from the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers, Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Mathematical Society.

The AMT selects and supports Australia's international mathematics and informatics Olympiad teams. The Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) was introduced in Australia in 1978 as the rest Australia-wide mathematics competition for students. It has become the largest single event on the Australian education calendar, allowing students to attempt the same tasks on the same day in over 32 countries and regions around the globe.
