Dear Parents, Guardian and Students

Students from Years 7 to 9 are invited to register their interest in attending a Maths Enrichment camp, to be held at Batchelor Outdoor Education Unit (BOEU) in Batchelor from Friday 4th September after school through to Sunday 6th. Exciting mathematical ideas will be explored in small groups.

On hand to run sessions, supervise activities and organise catering will be an active group of teachers from the Mathematics Teachers’ Association of the NT. We are fortunate in having the support a mathematician from Charles Darwin University Dr Ian Roberts.

Costs for the camp will be a $20 contribution per student. Significant funding from MTANT, Dept of Education and Training along with support from local schools has reduced the costs of the camp to students.

A list of what to bring will be given to each participating student in the near future. Students will travel out to BOEU in a school bus:

From Darwin:
 * Leaving Casuarina Senior College at 4:00 pm on Friday4th September
 * Arriving at Casuarina Senior College at 12:30 pm on Sunday 6th September
 * Other departure points are being organised and your school will be contacted regarding this.**

Other locations such as Katherine, Alyangula etc will have specific transport arrangements. Please contact your local school organiser
 * Katerine: Sue Barrington

To help with planning and catering, please return the Registration Form and Excursion Form along with $20 to your child’s Maths Teacher as reqested.
