[AMO/TT] Last session 2018 + Sessions for Jan 2019

Since Curtin has its close-down on 14 December, the Monday 10 December session is the last for the year, at Curtin, but we will go one more at UWA, so that the last session at UWA will be on Wednesday 19 December.

In 2019, we'll start again on 7 January at Curtin and 9 January at UWA, with sessions at UWA starting an hour earlier at 4pm, just during January, concentrating on AMO preparation, which will be held on

Tuesday, 5 February & Wednesday, 6 February.

Just repeating, the sessions will be:

Mondays at Curtin in the Boardroom, from 4:30pm, from 7 January
Wednesdays at UWA in Blakers Lecture Theatre, from 4pm, from 9 January

With regard to the AMO, the AMT asked for my invitation list at beginning of December. School of Excellence invitees, those who have done a Senior Contest, and those with some experience at Tournament of the Towns and going into Years 11 and 12 have been invited. There are some worthy students who are going into Year 10, and those who commented that they would be too busy in Year 12, who I have left off ... sorry about that, my list was already over 20. If you feel particularly aggrieved or if I see something brilliant with the latest TT, I may ask for some late invitations.

So, note that during January, at UWA, we start an hour earlier while school is out. In February, essentially when students are back at school, the UWA sessions will revert to a 5pm start.
