SUBJECT: [AMO/TT] UWA now needs students who are over 16 to be double-vaccinated

b>At UWA, there is a slight hiccup: if you are over 16, you are required to be double-vaccinated, and you should have proof, in case you are challenged. A COVID certificate is relatively easily obtained. Your parents have probably organised this for you, already, by first going to https://my.gov.au/, creating an account by providing an email address and mobile phone no., installing a few identifying answers to challenge questions, and then uploading Medicare card details (takes about 20 minutes).

If this restriction means you are no longer able to come to UWA, and you are not blocked from coming to school, you should be fine to come on Mondays at Perth Modern.

The embargo on discussing the AMO is lifted on 17 Feb. So, we will start discussing the AMO at Perth Mod on Monday 21 Feb. I often don't get the scores until a week or two later.

In case you need them, here are details of the weekly AMO/TT sessions:

UWA: Wednesdays 5-7pm in Blakers Lecture Theatre

These are in the same place the intro. sessions were, except that occasionally, a student orientation or an exam period blocks off Blakers LT and then we are in Robert Street Lecture Theatre. I will always put a notice on the door:
AMO/TT sessions in Rob St LT, this week
when this occurs. So all you need to know is how to find directions which on the Olympiad site as are the dates on which this occurs:

Blakers LT directions
Robert Street LT directions
UWA bookings with dates

It's advisable to come to Blakers LT anyway, since, if it happens that the venue is avaialble anyway, we will use that instead. Blakers LT is preferred over Perth Modern since there is more space, and it's better acoustically.
Now, I've actually booked until 8pm in Blakers LT, and generally I will keep going until 7:30pm. So, if you wish, you can stay a little longer.

Perth Modern School: Mondays 3:45-6pm in AU 19, or AU 20

For directions see: AU 20
The directions are for AU 20, but AU 19 is just next door.
