The numerous medals earned at the World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) 2019, which took place in Sydney, have brought happiness, joy and pride to all WASS teachers, families, and the WASSers who participated in the contest.
Competing with thousands of students from 70 different countries, The Western Australian International School System team was proud to get into the final round – ‘Tournament of Champions” at World Scholar’s Cup 2019, with its teams:
- Team 880: Bui Vu Khoa , Nguyen Tuan Anh, Tran Le Thoai Nhien.

The success of WASSers in the international competitions reflects bravery, talents and knowledge of these youth both at The Western Australian International School System and in Vietnam. We trust that WASS team would have a fantastic performance and achievement during the final round at Yale University, USA. In addition, we hope that the story about “A Global Wisdom and Scholar Festival” will inspire more students to attend the next World Scholar’s Cup.
The World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) is the contest founded by Sir. Daniel Berdichevsky. The idea behind it is giving students from different countries a playground, which supports learning and creates opportunities for each individual to demonstrate and explore his/her own abilities.
Joining the WSC competition, WASSers not only strengthen their understanding of different fields, but learn how to combine the knowledge in different fields to better understand current global affairs. Instead of memorizing the data/lessons mechanically, WSC contest helps the students apply their knowledge to practice and connect it to the world surrounding them. World Scholar’s Cup encourages future leaders to debate on global affairs based on the topics changing every year.
