Southville Hosts the World Scholar’s Cup – Manila Round II and is now the Official Partner School for the WSC Global Rounds

26 schools from the country bet on their top contenders at the recently conducted World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) Manila Round II. The two-day event was hosted by Southville International School and Colleges (SISC) which remarkably bagged several awards in Yale at the WSC-Tournament of Champions last year. Students showcased competence in four categories such as Team Debate, Scholar’s Challenge, Scholar’s Bowl, and Collaborative Writing. 

WSC Manila Round II Point Person, Mr. Gio Pastor, shared the similarities he discovered between The World Scholar’s Cup and Southville International School and Colleges leading to the partnership of the two, “We both want our students to become lifelong learners who are excellent in academics and values” said Mr. Pastor in an interview. He added that WSC and SISC share a common goal which is to provide the “most memorable learning experience” by encouraging students’ creativity and critically engaging them in establishing strong, seamless learning connections making the learning process more relevant and meaningful. “More than Southville hosting the WSC – Manila Round 2, it is more fulfilling to be part of the journey of instilling the joy of learning in all the participating scholars. This academic competition is a challenge to educate the Generation Z how to become better learners who will soon be movers of society.  We are privileged to provide them a conducive avenue for that.” – Mr. Pastor. 

Monarchs were oriented during the general assembly of the presiding school year to understand the mechanics and qualifications for the competition. The selection process provided was categorized into two areas; WRITING and SPEAKING. High School WSC Training Coordinator, Mr. Alvin Rey Caña, also shared that Monarchs qualified based on their “commitment to be trained” apart from their innate academic skills. In preparation for the competition, Southville assured Team Collaboration through careful designation of top team members based on their utmost strengths that would aid their teammates. The WSC team was made up of both experienced and newbies whose joint skills and experiences led to their qualification for the next level. Monarchs were recognized for their exceptional performances during the event. Jules Genrev Catungal was declared Debate Champion (Senior), Brielle Rodriguez as School Top Scholar (Junior), and Io Carpiso as School Top Scholar (Senior) and ASIMOV awardee. Overall, Southville was declared one of the TOP 5 Qualifiers for both the junior and senior division at the Global Rounds. Monarchs bagged 94 GOLD medals, 186 SLVER medals, 2 GOLD Trophies, and 9 Special Awards. 

“It’s not about the little things but rather the big picture and Southville understands the big picture. They understand that we are here out of the joy of learning and the convergence of real hard work of the students. We at WSC hope that what scholars will take away from the World Scholars Cup is an appreciation that learning doesn’t need to be serious in order to achieve serious things. That we can have fun while we try to understand things that challenge us.” – Mr. Daniel Berdichevsky, World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) Founder and Alpaca-In-Chief
