Maths Week request for Parent Volunteers
In the week beginning 21st November, we will be hosting the annual NLCS Mathematics Week. We will be running a variety of different events throughout the week and more details about this will be coming out soon. One of the events we would like to run is having people from our community who work in a mathematical field - with a particular focus on women who work in mathematics - to come and talk to our students about how to apply mathematical concepts and thinking to everyday careers. Therefore, if you are someone who works in a mathematical field (such as banking, finance, engineering, research, etc) and would be available to come and talk to some of our students, then please do email Miss Dean, our Junior School Mathematics coordinator, (hdean@nlcssingapore.sg) so we can arrange either an in-person or online talk as appropriate.
Many thanks in advance.
