Savi San Juan wins gold in PH round of Hong Kong Science Olympiad

Three Ateneo de Manila Senior High School students won medal awards in the Philippine Heat Round of the Hong Kong International Science Olympiad (HKISO), which was held online on November 27, 2022. Leading our awardees was Savi San Juan (11-Garnet), gold medalist, followed by R-Jahn Artates (12-Walpole), silver medalist, and Alex Lauricio (11-Wright), bronze medalist. They all competed in the senior secondary division.

The HKISO is a global science competition held annually for students from Grades 2 to 12. It closely follows the Hong Kong School Science Syllabus and tests what students have learned in their level of content in its four main categories (Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Integrated Science), thus allowing them to know their strengths and weaknesses so they can better prepare for the other categories.

As heat round medalists, Savi, R-Jahn, and Alex are invited to join the HKISO Final Round either online or onsite from June 8 -12, 2023. The onsite Olympiad will be held at National University of Singapore and will also give participants from different countries and regions the opportunity to work on a few experiments together.
