Please note that these exams are quite difficult and will not be suitable for all students.

All students who participate receive acertificate and an individual student report indicating which questions they answered correctly and their score compared with the rest of the students tested. The certificate and individual student report are also suitable for your child to include in a portfolio.

The exam entry fees are listed in the table above. This money needs to be returned to the office in an envelope by the 25th of March. Clearly mark your child's name, the exams they will be sitting and their Year level at school (not their class).

As this money is sent to the university, we will be unable to refund any students who are away on the date of the competition.

Please complete the form (found on the 'Notes to Parents' page) and return it to the office by the morning of Tuesday the 25th of March 2014. Unfortunately, money cannot be accepted after this date.
