Hawks Soar in International Science Competitions

Dear Parents and friends

Hawks Soar in International Science Competitions written by Ms Shirley Qi, Ms Mindy Li.  We are so pleased to share the remarkable accomplishments of our students in a series of renowned international and national science competitions, where they demonstrated exceptional academic strength and passion for scientific exploration.

IPC&SPC Online is a prestigious global science competition for middle and high school students, attracting young science enthusiasts worldwide. In this event, Year 12 students Tair Beibit and Abylaikhan Bakytsultan both won the Global Bronze Award.

JPC is another top-tier international scientific challenge with strong global competition. Year 9 student Dongha Lee delivered an outstanding performance and claimed the Global Silver Award.

iHOSA is a leading international health and science competition covering multiple academic fields, serving as a key platform for students to showcase scientific talents. In iHOSA competitions:

- Year 9 Dongha Lee won the National Silver Honor in General Chemistry Division I at the regional round.

- Year 11 Changwan Jun earned the National Gold Honor in General Chemistry Division I at the regional round.

Changwan Jun also took part in the chemistry challenge and industry academic poster revision at the National Round, winning the Industry Academic Poster National Excellent Honor and General Chemistry National Silver Honor, and successfully advanced to the Global Round.

In addition, led by Eunsung Kim, Jiachen Liu and Xinran Lu, our two school science clubs earned two major honors: regional & national round official recognitions, as well as the 2025-2026 Membership Year Regional Round Excellent School Club Award and the 2026 iHOSA National Round Best Inter-Club Collaboration Award.

A big congratulations to all of our award-winning students! We encourage more students to join diverse science challenges, explore the excitement of science, and strive for greater excellence.

Math Kangaroo 2026 - written by Ms Mindy Li and Ms Emily Liu.  On March 28th, just as our Spring Break was getting started, Hanova held the second annual Math Kangaroo competition right here at school.

We are thrilled to share that this year’s event saw even more enthusiasm than before, with over 50 students from both the Primary and Secondary school participating, putting their problem-solving and logical thinking skills to the test.

A big thank you to all the young mathematicians who took part, and to the parents and staff who helped make the event run smoothly.

We look forward to celebrating our students' achievements when the results are released by the official organization in approximately 4 to 6 weeks but, until then, we are indeed proud of our Hawks for their courage and passion to participate in this year’s Math Kangaroo contest.

Keep up the great math energy!

About our School Principal


Dr Lucas J. Roberts

School Principal

Dr Lucas J. Roberts is the current School Principal at Hanova. He thoroughly enjoys being part of the Hanova Hawks community! Having served in international school education in China for over 15 years in Wuxi, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Beijing, being in Xi’an with his family to lead Hanova is indeed a joy and a privilege. “Mr. Luke,” as students call him, has served in numerous leadership capacities over the years, including Head of Primary, Head of Secondary, and School Principal/Head of School. Since 2014, he has served on nearly 20 WASC accreditation visiting committees around Asia to support other schools’ ongoing school improvement efforts, giving him substantial perspective on the international school world. Earning a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies helped spark Dr. Roberts’ belief that learning, rather than being isolated, should help students see patterns and connections across subjects with an emphasis on life skills and application. In other words, what we DO with knowledge is just as important as having knowledge, much in line with the IB Learner Profile and Hanova’s mission to develop responsible, wise, lifelong learners. Dr. Roberts earned an M.Ed. in Educational Administration and a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership, and he is a researcher, author, and conference speaker on a range of topics in education.
