Our regular followers will remember that Sarah and her two classmates participated in The World Scholar's Cup on behalf of her High School (see May 2010 blog). This year her school is participating again and the competition theme is A World Transformed. The competition is conducted in eight regional centres around the world, and fortunately for us Dubai is the centre for the Middle East and Africa. The subject areas are Science, History, Literature, The Arts, Economics, and a special topic: The Modern Metropolis. They compete in four events over two days (on a weekend -- bummer): Debate; Writing; Challenge; and the Bowl (like multi-choice).
Well, the news is that Sarah and her friends finished in the top five teams at the Middle East Regionals in the Junior section (14 years and younger) and so they are going to the Globals in Kuala Lumpur in June! Yay for Sarah and what a great experience to come.
