Words Scholars Cup- Global Round in Cape Town- South Africa
2nd November 2022
The World Scholars Cup Global Round competition took place in Cape Town, South Africa with Braeburn School taking a delegation of 5 students to this year's Global round.
The students were:
- Lakshita- Year 9
- Advait -Year 9
- Bashir - Year 8
- Ananya - Year 8
- Khalid - Year 7
The competition aims at building up the students' Research skills, Public Speaking skills, and Writing skills. Students researched five given topics and wrote essays on given questions. Students then engaged in debates with scholars from different schools.
The competition gave students a good chance to build up their social skills through the scavenger hunt and scholar's ball.
While in South Africa, the students visited the Castle of Good Hope and had a tour of Table mountain. They also engaged in a cultural evening where they showcased their own culture to different scholars and learned more about different cultures from around the world;
allowing them to build up confidence in performing before a crowd.
Braeburn School students did well in this year's competition. They carried our flag high at the cultural show and were able competitors in the competition.
They won various awards in the competition. The student's high points were in Debate, speaking, and Collaborative writing.
We won an array of medals and certificates in various categories with some winning individual awards for their hard work and effort. Both participating teams qualified to be invited to attend this year’s Tournament of Champions Competition that is scheduled to take place on 11th-16th November at the prestigious Yale University in the USA.
We wish all our scholars continued success as they plan to attend this final competition.
