GIS Scholars Shine at World Scholar’s Cup Global Round in Bangkok!
The World Scholar’s Cup Global Round in Bangkok was an incredible experience for the Scholars of GIS! This year’s event was one of the largest and most diverse, with over 4,000 scholars from 35 countries converging at Thammasat University.
GIS represented 10 teams and brought home an impressive haul: 69 Silver medals, 59 Gold medals, and a special Trophy for Coach of the Decade, awarded to Ms. Saroj Wilson!
This event offered students a unique opportunity to develop a range of skills such as critical thinking, public speaking: team collaboration which helped them gain confidence and clarity in presenting their ideas effectively. The skills gained eventually translate into improved performance in other academic areas, as students become better researchers, writers, and communicators.
Our 30-student team was supported by the dedicated teachers and four supportive parents. A huge ‘thank you’ to the parents for their invaluable assistance throughout the trip!
The journey doesn’t end here. The GIS team is gearing up for the final round, the Tournament of Champions taking place this November at Yale University in New Haven, USA.
After a week of intense challenges and achievements, the team was greeted with a warm welcome from the GIS senior management and proud parents.
Congratulations to all the scholars for their hard work and dedication! We can’t wait to see what the Tournament of Champions has in store.
