It is often said that a fine example has boundless power. Today, we'll share an inspirational story of two Unibridge alumni. They are Victor and Wayne, the gold award winner of 49th international chemistry Olympiad. Congratulations to them!

News about the awards reported in detail on the official site of Ellesmere College

In September of 2016 UK Elite school admission interview was held in Unibridge. Victor and Wayne were admitted into Ellesmere College with the offer of full scholarship and academic scholarship. Recently, the two students achieved gold awards in this year's 49th international chemistry Olympiad putting them among the top 10% of A Level chemistry students in the U.K. The participants of this event were all elite students in Chemistry selected nationwide.

The International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) is an annual competition for the world's most talented chemistry students at the secondary school level.

Head of Chemistry Paul Swainson, who presented them with their gold awards, said, "It's a very challenging written exam and one which is very difficult to prepare for, as there's no set curriculum. They had to take the exam in their own time with questions well beyond the scope of A Level, making their performance in the first half of the lower sixth all the more impressive."

This is the second award in a month for Victor who also finished in the top 15 competitors at the British Informatics Olympiad hosted by Cambridge University. He said, "The international chemistry Olympiad was interesting and challenging and it was great to do something a bit different because the questions ranged across the entire spectrum of chemistry. Some things in there we hadn't covered in the classroom but the gold award shows we had the knowledge to be able to work out the answers."

Every child has endless possibilities. Since he's still young, you may have never thought that he would also be the winner of an international contest in the future. But just like some educators say, we all have no idea which cloud will rain come from. Thus, we need to encourage our children more, and guide their behaviour in positive ways. Our children can also live their lives as a model for others in the future.
