On the remarkable weekend of April 18 and 19, 63 talented students from St. Joseph’s Institution International School showcased their skills at the World Scholar’s Cup competition held at BSKL. Competing against an impressive pool of 800 participants, our students triumphed, securing victory in both the Junior and Senior divisions!
The outstanding Junior Division team comprised of Daniel Tan, Xyn Yii Ho, and John Lee, all from Year 9, displayed remarkable teamwork and intellect. In the Senior Division, our mixed team featuring Ayleen Eng from Year 9 and Jin Yang Leow from Year 10 proved their mettle by rising to the challenge against competitors as old as 18. These students were not just tested on a demanding curriculum; they also excelled in debating and writing, showcasing their versatility and prowess.
Daniel Tan’s exceptional performance earned him the prestigious Top Scholar award in the Junior Division. Meanwhile, Ayleen Eng and Jin Yang Leow distinguished themselves as top ten scholars in the Senior Division, a feat that speaks volumes about their hard work and dedication.
Our student’s accomplishments didn’t stop there; two of our Year 7 teams made incredible strides by securing spots in the Top 10 overall teams in the Junior Division, despite being first-time competitors at such a young age.
Building on this momentum, we are now eagerly preparing for the Global Round, followed by the highly anticipated Tournament of Champions at Yale University in November. With such a strong foundation and outstanding talent, the future is bright for SJIIS!
