GSIS @ the History and Geopgraphy Bee and Bowl
A GSIS team of 6 boys went to Thailand for the Asian Championships of the International History Bee and Bowl and Geography Bee.
The team comprised Alex, Victor, Nathan and Aristobulus (all Y08) and Alex and Tristan (both Y09). The boys gave an amazing performance against teams from all over Asia - coming second in the Academic Bowl and 3rd in the History Bowl out of 24 teams from HK/ Thailand/ Vietnam/ Singapore/ Malaysia/ Philippines/ Japan/ China and Taiwan.
Unfortunately, they were knocked out on a second tie breaker in the semi final. Alex M was also first in the Sports and Entertainment Bee; Nathan 6th in the Geography Bee. Alex M and Victor were also semi finalists in the History Bee.
Through these accomplishments, Nathan, Alex M and Alex B have also qualified for the International Geography Olympiad World Championships in 2020 and Alex B, Nathan, Victor and Alex M for the International History Olympiad World Championships in 2020.
Outstanding performances by all boys and superb GSIS team spirit.
