The Singapore International Mathematics Competition (SIMC) is a biennial international mathematics event that provides opportunities to fuel students’ interest in mathematics and spur them to reach for greater heights. The event aims to bring together bright students from around the world to pit their skills in a rigorous competition where they will demonstrate their creativity and mathematical skills in a mathematical modelling challenge. Students will have the opportunities to interact in social and cultural activities. SIMC also aims to provide a platform for professional exchange of good practices in Math education across different countries through the Educator Programme. It provides opportunities for mathematics educators to engage in professional discourse and establish and develop ties with counterparts from around the world.
The International Student Science Fair (ISSF) is an international student fair hosted on a rotating basis by a network of science high schools worldwide. It was officially launched in 2005 to facilitate international interaction and collaboration in science education. The ISSF brings together students, teachers and school leaders to share and develop their ideas about science in a modern world. The ISSF is the major event of its type in the world with a focus on the combined sharing and development of teaching and learning in science education. Each year’s event creates a learning hub for participants that provide a range of forums promoting the development in teaching and learning of science research and science education.
NUS High is hosting both 5th SIMC and 12th ISSF from 23 to 27 May 2016.
This year, SIMC received an overwhelming participation by 62 schools from 30 countries and regions. List of participating schools for SIMC is here. The 4 students representing NUS High are: Shashvat & Daniel Low from Year 6, and Clarence Chew & Lim Li from Year 5.
