This past Saturday I had the pleasure of sponsoring 7 of our GSIS math students at a math competition at another international school in Seoul. I was really proud of the students that went because they all worked hard throughout the competition. The day started with each student taking an individual test (roughly 150-200 kids came) at one of three levels (all of our students were in the middle level).
Some of the other school's students were not as committed to the competition...
After the individual test each school took part in a team test where the whole school submitted one answer sheet for a 32 question test. This test was freaking hard. Here are some of our kids working at it.
After that it was time for a mental break with a pizza and ice cream lunch.
The final session of the day took our top four competitors to a "school bowl" and the other three took part in a partner test (which took place outside on this beautiful fall day).
Though our group was by far the smallest contingent our students worked really hard and even won some awards. One student placed 3rd in the intermediate level individual test. And our top four took second place in the intermediate level "school bowl." Also I won a raffle for a 20000won ($20) Starbucks gift card and a book about code writing. It was good day and like I said before I was really proud of their efforts.
