In that vibrant atmosphere, the contestants from Dewey left their mark with consistent performance, sharp critical thinking, and confidence when facing many highly differentiating questions. Although they come from different age groups and different competitions, the common thread among them is their determined spirit and serious attitude towards learning. TDSers dedicated much time to consolidating knowledge, practicing analytical skills, strategic thinking, and flexible adaptability – crucial factors that helped them shine in an international playground.
The achievements gained are not only a reward for the persistent efforts of each student but also the result of the passionate support from their families and teachers. Dedicated guidance, timely encouragement, and a strong belief in the students’ abilities have empowered them to confidently overcome challenges. This nurtures an active, inquisitive learning spirit, and a constant readiness to push their own boundaries in the “future explorers” known as TDSers.
We wish the students to continue maintaining their learning spirit, nurturing their passion, and continuing to shine on their journey of knowledge ahead!
