How to enter

Email us if your school intends to participate.

This year students may sit the individual paper only, on Tuesday 15 October, or they may sit both the individual paper and the team paper. It is not possible to only sit the team paper. Also, students sitting the team paper must do so, in the team they were registered in, prior to sitting the individual paper.

A completed registration form with names of the participating students and accompanying teachers can be submitted via email. Bank details will be provided for payment of the registration fees upon receipt of the form.

WAJO Participants list

There is a wajo-participants email list. Schools who were on the list last year (in particular, those who emailed their registration last year) are already on it, and will have received notification of WAJO already via this list. Follow the link to join (or be removed from) the list. Note the wajo-participants list is moderated (so you will not receive spam via the list) and membership of the list is hidden. Please consider adding a contact email address for your school if you are not already on this list, and help us to keep you better informed about WAJO.

Payment details

We prefer electronic payment. (You should have bank details from our response on receiving your registration form; Email us if you mislaid them.) If electronic payment is not an option, please send a cheque of $8 per student with your registration form. The cheque should be made out to the WA Mathematical Olympiads Committee and sent to:

The WA Mathematical Olympiads Committee
School of Mathematics and Statistics
The University of Western Australia
35 Stirling Highway

If you need it, there's a Statement by a Supplier in the name of the WA Mathematical Olympiads Committee in order to organise your payment:
