Hanova partners with Australian Science Olympiad (ASOC)

Dear Parents and friends

Written by Ms Mindy Li, IB Administrator. Competitions are great for students. Besides the opportunity to put their scientific knowledge and skills to the test, they also teach them the importance of teamwork, success, and failure.

If you’re hoping to venture into a STEM field for your university major and future career, science competitions will give students a boost in their overall
competitiveness.

It is such a pleasure to announce that we are officially a partnering school with Australian Science Olympiad-Chemistry and Physics (ASOC & ASOP)! Hosted by the Australian Science Innovation, the ASOC and ASOP are the toughest chemistry and physics exams in Australia.

It is a rewarding opportunity for high school students to challenge and extend themselves beyond school science through challenging exams. On October 22nd and 23rd, we had our first student competed in the ASOC and ASOP, congratulations on finishing them!

We have been working hard on bringing more competitions to our Hanova community, and now we have the chance. The ASOC and ASOP, will be an
annual event at our school. We whole heartedly hope to encourage and see more of our students engaging in international competitions in the future. If you are interested in getting more information, please feel free to contact Ms. Mindy Li at mindy.li@hisxian.com
