Held from September 5th to 13th in Bangkok, Thailand, this prestigious global competition put their knowledge, skills, and determination to the test across a series of challenging academic events.
The World Scholar’s Cup is an internationally recognized competition that gathers outstanding students from over 50 countries. The Bangkok Global Round was part of a global selection process, and the top-performing teams will have the opportunity to advance to the Tournament of Champions at Yale University. The theme for this year’s event was Reimagining the Present, encouraging students to think critically about current global issues.
In the Bangkok Global Round, the students faced a series of demanding challenges, including the Debate Showcase, Scavenger Hunt, and Scholar’s Bowl & Show. Despite the intense competition, Maleeha, Emily, and Meagan excelled in each event. Their success was a testament to their exceptional writing skills, strategic thinking, and persuasive arguments.
Megan, one of the team members, reflected on their experience by saying, “throughout this experience we have encountered many challenges and triumphs, from debating, to writing, and studying for the challenge. These are all a series of experiences that we will never forget.”
Beyond the competition, the World Scholar’s Cup fostered cultural exchange and teamwork. BINUS SCHOOL Simprug students not only competed but also participated in the Cultural Fair, where they interacted with peers from around the world, exchanged cultural items and forged new friendships.
David from grade 6, added, “in WSC we aren’t learning about skills and academic achievements, we are also making friends. in one of the events called the Cultural Fair it was so much fun to talk to many people from different countries.”
The journey of these students highlights the incredible potential of BINUS SCHOOL Simprug’s students to #DiscoverNewHorizons. Through their dedication and determination, they have not only made their school proud but have also opened doors for future opportunities, both academically and personally. This accomplishment is a testament to the power of perseverance and the unwavering support of their parents, teachers, and the entire BINUS SCHOOL Simprug community.
