The Horizon International Bilingual School brought home 3 golds, 4 silvers, and 8 bronze

the right to claim number one. Canada, Egypt, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Turkey and Vietnam to name a few.

Amongst the great individuals who set an exemplary performance and received gold medals are Nguyen Tuan

Lam and Thuong garnered silver medal apiece. Likewise, the grade 9 students, Chau and Alaska Holden

received the same award. On the other hand, eight students had settled for bronze, including Yang Dahyun

and Yang Dayoung, two Korean students of HIBS in Ho Chi Minh Campus.

Duc Anh exclaimed: “It was a great experience to have joined in such event”. “It gives me opportunity to

harness my skill in math”, he added. Alaska uttered: “I am looking forward to achieve gold next year and

represent Vietnam one more time”. Students are optimistic about doing their best next year.

On the sideline, there was a tour in Bangkok. Students were so delighted and fascinated when they visited

SAFARI World, shopping malls, and ride a cruise ship.

For this year, the aims of the event are to encourage students study math, acquire and develop critical-

thinking skill, and use this skill solve real-life problems.
