The Western Australia Junior Mathematics Olympiad (WAJO) is a competition accessible to all bright Year 9 students, and advanced Year 8 students. It aims to identify the most gifted students in Mathematics. Teams of four students compete, first tackling an individual question paper, and then working on a team question.

WAJO is run annually by the WA branch of the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee, an arm of the national not-for-profit Australian Mathematics Trust that administers mathematical enrichment activities for Australian and international students.

The 2009 Western Australia Junior Mathematics Olympiad will be held at UWA on Saturday 31 October. The UWA School of Mathematics and Statistics invites you to attend this event.
