Well... This shall be the communication platform for all Scrabble Xishanites and parents. This blog will also serve as an essential update tool to let the parents know what the Scrabble team will be doing or has done.
Today, we have participated in the most anticipated Scrabble event of the year, ISNSC 2012. Xishan sent in 1 Senior team and 1 Junior team. The participants are:
Senior Team:
1. Shu Hui (Captain)
2. Jade Yee
3. Patricia
4. Dai Fei
5. Pradeep
6. Wei Long
7. Clara
Junior Team:
1. Jimmy Lee (Captain)
2. Keanen Poon
3. Eason Poon
4. Piraphon
5. Evan Aloysius
6. Wen Jie
7. Ethan
Our school representatives have done the school proud today. The senior team managed to score 21 wins out of 21 matches, chalking up an immense spread of near 3000 points. The Junior team scored 20 wins out of 21 matches, chalking up a spread of more than 3400 points. This is a wonderful achievement for 1st time participants.
Other than having the experience of playing against other schools' partcipants, the pupils have learnt more on the school core values of Self-Discipline, Respect, Integrity and last but not least, Resilience. We have also learnt the importance to know the rules well and how gamesmanship reflects our core values.
I hope everyone can have a good rest and let's await the results of the Preliminary rounds. Stay tuned for more updates.
