28 Aug 2024 - Olympiad Awards in all 3 Science Disciplines

Today Javier came home with the following 3 certificates.  He managed to achieve Silver for his Singapore Junior Physics Olympiad (SJPO).  No one in his school achieved Gold and he's the only one in IP who was awarded Silver.

For Singapore Junior Biology Olympiad (SJBO), he got a Bronze.  This was unexpected because he totally did not prepare for it.

As for Singapore Junior Chemistry Olympiad (SJCO), he received the Certificate of Participation.  He said the paper was tough because most of the questions were from topics that he will only be taught in IP4.

I must say it's a superb achievement for Javier.  First of all, not many students were selected to participate in all three science disciplines.  And he did it all by himself through his own studies.  We actually asked him if he wanted to attend any boot camps which help students to prepare for such exams and he said he can manage it by himself.  Proud of him!
