Hi sunflower,



There won't be a need for enrichment centres if schools like RGPS start preparing kids early for these competitions, maybe from P4 onwards on a continuous basis.

I don't know about other schools but in my daughter's schools, only selected pupils / selected classes go through such continuous training from P4 onwards. So for those who do not get this chance through the school, enrichment centers will be the other avenue.

BTW, I understand that some enrichment centres encourage the students to register the SMO competition under their respective schools or as independent participant, so maybe that’s why we don’t see names of some enrichment centres in the result list, although many award winners went to private enrichment centres for training individually .

Yes, my daughter's school (in fact, I think most schools) select only those pupils who perform very well in Maths (usu the top 2 classes or the top few % in terms of Maths exams score) to go for competition training. However, some schools do not provide this kind of training for the students, so some top scorers go to enrichment centres for training.

Two IMO team members .. not National Team members. Every year 6 IMO team members are selected from 20+ National Team members.

You actually scrutinised the whole list :lol: Good observation!

In competitions, there is always an element of luck (the questions set may not be the student's best topic) and also the student's mood/frame of mind/attitude/determination.

For SMO(Junior), the top is NUSH, 2nd is HCI and 3rd is RI. (inside info )

NUSH did extremely well this year, considering their student population is very small as compared to other sec schools & JCs.

All awardees in the list above will attend the prize giving ceremony. Team winners are in a separate list (given to the schools) and they will also attend the same ceremony.
