The Super Zonal Series Scrabble Competition is a platform for all the top tier teams from the various zones to come together to vie for the Super Zonal title. Our pupils demonstrated great resilience and persevered till the end. Playing 5 full Scrabble games in a day is definitely mind-draining and tiring. However, with our school values within them, they did not falter and continued to do their very best. Even when taunted by their opponents during the games, our players demonstrated a high level of self-control and self-discipline and focused intensely on their games. Kudos to Xishan Scrabblers!
We are pleased to announce the first
GREAT news:
News 1: Our Team J3 has done the school proud by beating all the other teams in the North Zone to clinch the
North Zone Champion!!! This is akin to the plate category win in the National Scrabble Competition. Even though we have a new member in this team, the more experienced members never stopped giving him encouragements and showed him the ropes during training. The players are: Te Ming Xian (4 Cons), Evan Aloysius (4 Cons) and our newbie Chu Yi Ann (3 Cons).
The second news is a
"SUPERBLY DUPERBLY" GREAT FANTASTIC NEWS:
News 2: Our Team J1 not only qualified to take part in the super zonal series where they have to play against the other top 4 teams from the other zones, they managed to recover what we missed out in the previous competition. This was their first Super Zonal Participation and they demonstrated great resilience and team spirit to advance from stage to stage. In the last 2 games, they managed to outperform strong teams from St Hilda's Pri, Da Qiao Pri and Gan Eng Seng Pri, and went on to clinch the
Overall Super Zonal Champion in the Junior Division. The players are: Lee Suphagrid (4 Cons), Huang Wen Jie (4 Per) and Piraphon (4 Per). Wen Jie also clinched the Best School Player title.
For the other teams who did not win any medals, do not be discouraged or disappointed. I can see that you have put in your very best. Your contribution to Xishan's Scrabble Club is very great.
You also
play a vital role in attaining the above-mentioned achievements. Without you to
train together with the other players, our Scrabble Club would not be able to
achieve so much. Do not ever shortchange yourself. You deserve the credits.
Well… I am
currently looking at the possibility to further improve your skills. There
MIGHT be another Scrabble Camp (No guarantee) at the end of the year, let me know your thoughts about
this. Thanks for starting my September in such an excellent way.
ALL OF YOU HAVE DONE XISHAN PROUD!
