Our best and brightest in maths and computational thinking are often invited to take part in the pathway programs run by the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee (AMOC) and the Australian Informatics Olympiad Committee (AIOC).
Maths, Informatics and Science Olympiads participation
Sometimes students receive invitations to participate in multiple Olympiad programs in the same year. Due to the significant time commitment for these activities, Australian Science Innovations and the Australian Maths Trust do not permit students to participate in more than one Olympiad program. Students who are invited to train in multiple Olympiad pathways will need to decide on one subject to pursue per year.
Maths opportunities by invitation
To be considered for an invitation to maths—invitational opportunities training, students need to have achieved outstanding results in the Australian Mathematics Competition or one of the three modules under Maths for Young Australians.
Events for Olympiad level young mathematicians may include: training schools, the AMOC Senior Contest, the Australian Mathematical Olympiad, the Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad.
Every year, and following on from these events, four Australian girls will be selected to represent Australia at the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad and six students will be selected to represent Australia at the International Mathematical Olympiad.
Informatics opportunities by invitation
Students with strong performance at the Australian Informatics Olympiad may be invited to participate in special mentoring and participate in exclusive events.
Events for Olympiad-level young mathematicians may include: Australian Invitational Informatics Olympiad, the Asia Pacific Informatics Olympiad, and the French-Australian Regional Informatics Olympiad.
Each year, competitors are selected to represent Australia at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), the peak competition in computer science for high school students around the world.
