Sorry, there's a new edict ... I just received the following message:
Until they further relax restrictions in under three weeks can you ask students [not from Perth Mod] not to attend as government rules do not allow students from other schools to visit on grounds together with guest speakers.Apparently, for ‘students from other schools’ I am a ‘guest speaker’ and for Perth Mod students I am ‘classified ... as a teacher’.
The message went on to say:
In 3 weeks I am sure they will lift this rule, there are harsh penalties.

The priority for updating of AMOsessions material is the Senior Contest, which is our next main competition. I'm guessing it will be held under normal conditions on 11 August, but the AMT website only has 2019 info.
Recently, I came across a fascinating youtubed i-lecture billed as Toy Models (from the London Mathematical Society). I think you might enjoy it.
