World Scholar’s Cup Kaohsiung Round

The International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park brought 45
scholars and 5 teachers to the 10 annual Taiwan Round of the World Scholar’s
Cup in Kaohsiung on March 16-17. The students gave our school much to
be proud of. We brought 8 teams in the junior division (grades 7-9), and 7
teams in the senior division (grades 9-12). There are three students on each
team which competes in four events: Collaborative Writing, The Scholar’s
Challenge, Team Debate, and the Scholar’s Bowl. There were over 350
scholars from 20 schools located all over Taiwan participating. Our 45
students made up less than 1/6 of the students there but took home more than
1/3 of the awards. The combined efforts of our students brought home 16
trophies and 339 medals. Every single student who participated in the event
from IBSH won at least one medal, scoring in the top 1/3 of students in at least
one event. All of our students qualified for the global round this summer.
These students distinguished themselves as the top of the top in Taiwan.
While the IBSH teams won too many awards to note in this article, a few
very high awards should be shared with the entire community. Mollie Cheng
was the second ranked individual scholar in the junior division, and the team
of Mollie Cheng, Vineeta Chen, and Katie Chen won 2nd place as overall
team for the junior division. They also took first place overall in debate and
in the scholar’s challenge. Mollie was recognized as the best junior debater in Taiwan. In both divisions
IBSH had 4 of the top 10 teams. The senior team of Dana Chiueh, Janet Jiang, and Katelyn Chen took first
place overall team and were also first in writing. Dana was recognized as the best writer in Taiwan. Claire
Fang was the second place overall scholar and her team along with Tim Lin and Jackie Huang took 4th place
overall. All in all it was clear that schools all over Taiwan know that IBSH is a powerhouse with some of the
best scholars in Taiwan! The members of the 2018 IBSH World Scholar’s Cup delegation were:
