Recently, 24 students from the Australian International School Malaysia (AISM) attended the Regional Round of the World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) 2015 Kuala Lumpur which saw the participation of scholars from over 40 countries around the world. WSC challenges students to perform in a range of different academic events that include Team Debate, Essay Writing, a subject specific examination (Scholar’s Challenge) and a team quiz (Scholar’s Bowl).
The highlight of the night was the Senior team's win at the top spot, with students Kavya Sritharan, Yann Ran Ng and Sakiko Okayama bringing home a trophy so big, it was even taller than some of them! In addition to this, AISM students picked up an additional 40 individual awards, including first and second places in the Junior division for the Scholar’s Bowl and an overall fifth place in the Junior division. The students owe their success to months of training with the support and guidance from their dedicated teachers. This is the fourth year in a row that AISM students have won one or both of the major sections of the World Scholar’s Cup.
At AISM, students thrive not only to be academically accomplished, but to also achieve beyond the classroom in a global environment. The competition has always managed to combine academic performance with fun, so despite the long hours and intense competition, the event is run in a spirit of friendship and celebration.
