Details: The National Mathematics Summer School is a two-week residential school held each January in Canberra. It is aimed at talented students of mathematics who have just completed Year 11 Mathematics.
The National Mathematics Summer School Board has approved a face-to-face program for NMSS 2023. The school will take place at the Australian National University from 8 to 21 January 2023. NMSS staff are closely monitoring the ongoing pandemic situation and liaising with the ANU in order to provide an environment that is safe for all students and staff.
The National Mathematics Summer School is an activity of the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT) and the Australian National University. Further information is available on the AAMT website or on the National Mathematics Summer School website.
Cost: The student contributions (approx. $1600) cover much less than the operational costs of running the school. Thanks to the generosity of the late A/Prof Leon Poladian, NMSS is able to offer a small number of Poladian Scholarships to meritorious students for whom the standard cost may be prohibitive. As well, CMA offers a subsidy of $400 for each ACT student who attends.
Selection: Current ACT Year 11 mathematics students who are interested in attending the summer school next January should complete an application form (available shortly on the NMSS website). Students must provide a recommendation from their teacher.
The CMA coordinates the selection of students from the ACT who wish to attend the NMSS, based on the strength of their application. There are places for two attendees from ACT and CMA will also nominate two reserves. These students are then put forward to the NMSS Director for consideration of a place at the NMSS.
ACT teachers can nominate one or more of their students who they believe would benefit from attending.
Teachers - You can support your students by inviting them to complete an application and by making sure that you have completed your sections to assist them.
Students - You can complete your sections independently and then ask your teacher for assistance in completing the section from your school.
Nominations for the January 2021 Summer School must be sent to CMA by email canberramaths@gmail.com by Friday 30th August 2022.
