Last December 6, 2013, Chiang Kai Shek College joined the 6th Metro Manila Science and Mathematics Quiz Bee held at Emilio Aguinaldo College, Manila. A total of ten schools within Metro Manila joined the contest. After ranking 2nd in the preliminary written test, our team was declared the champion in the final round, having answered most of the 40 Science questions.

Team CKSC was composed of Gabriel Sedrick Alkuino and Renzo Roel Tan. As champions, they received gold medals, a trophy for the school, and a cash prize of PhP5,000. The trainers were Mrs. Armi Mogro for Mathematics, Mrs. Venus Llantada for Chemistry), Mrs. Cynthia Yap for Physics, and Mrs. Cristina Monsanto for Biology.

In another development, CKSC’s prince of the swimming pool, Brandon Willis Sing, made waves by capturing 5 medals during the national finals of the Milo Little Olympics in Cebu City last November 29 to December 1. On his last year as a high school student, Brandon won 3 gold medals in the 100m Backstroke,  200m Backstroke, and 4x100m Medley Relay. He also bagged 2 silver medals in the 200m Individual Medley and 4x100m Freestyle Relay.

Kindergarten pupils also had their share of awards when they competed in the drawing contest sponsored by International Buddhist Progress Society of Fo Guang Shan Mabuhay Temple last October 19.

Ou, also from the Montessori class, won the special citation award, while Elycia Reese T. Wang, Gayle Rhian Allyson Y. Dy, Renz Keane T. Go, Shannon A. Sia, and Sachie Cyane M.
