FAQ

Getting Started

How do I enrol my child?

You can register your interest through our enrolment form. Once submitted, your child will be placed on the waitlist and we will be in touch when a suitable place becomes available.


How do I know which group my child should join?

You can choose to:

  • start with an initial assessment (recommended),
  • begin in the first group (Cygnus), or
  • select a group yourself.

The assessment provides the most accurate placement and ensures your child begins at the most appropriate level.


What does the initial assessment involve?

The assessment is a one-on-one session designed to understand how your child thinks mathematically. It allows us to place them in the starting group where they will benefit most.

The assessment fee is $95.


Is the assessment required?

No. It is optional, but recommended if you are unsure where your child should begin.


Learning & Groups

How are groups structured?

Students are placed into groups based on their current level of mathematical understanding, not their age or year level.

Each group focuses on a specific stage of mathematical development, and students work with others at a similar level.


Does my child move through the groups automatically?

Students enrol in one group per term. At the end of each term, families can choose to continue into the next stage or remain where appropriate.


What if my child is placed in the wrong group?

We monitor students closely. If a different group would better suit your child, we will recommend a change.


What will my child actually do in sessions?

Students work on carefully designed tasks that develop understanding, reasoning, and connections across mathematical ideas. The focus is on thinking—not memorising procedures.


Practical Details

Where are sessions held?

Maths Club sessions are run from a local school. Please check our website for current locations.


How long are sessions?

Each session runs for 45 minutes, once per week, across a 10-week term.


What if my child misses a session?

Optional follow-up tasks are available through the parent portal to support continuity.


Can parents support learning at home?

Yes. Parents have access to a learning portal where they can view session content and optional consolidation tasks.


Payments & Commitment

How much does it cost?

Fees are charged per term and include 10 sessions, as well as parent access to the learning portal.

$250 per term – per student

$95 per individual assessment – optional


Do I need to commit long-term?

No. Enrolment is term-by-term. Families can choose to continue each term based on their child’s needs.


Are places limited?

Yes. Groups are kept at a manageable size to ensure each student is appropriately supported and challenged.
