Presenting gifts to students participating in the International and Regional Olympiads.

(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of April 29th, the Board of Directors and the Alumni Association of Phan Boi Chau Specialized High School met with and presented gifts to students of Phan Boi Chau Specialized High School who participated in the 2015 International Mathematics Olympiad, Asian Informatics Olympiad, and Asian Physics Olympiad.

A representative from the school's Board of Directors announced the qualifying rounds for the teams.

Four outstanding students from Phan School are participating in this year's international and regional Olympic competitions: Nguyen Ngoc Khanh, Le Anh Duc, Ho Sy Viet Cuong, and Hoang Anh Tai.

Nguyen Ngoc Khanh, a student in class 12A3, will participate in the Asian Physics Olympiad in Zhejiang Province (China) from May 5th to 11th. In 2014, while in 11th grade, she won a bronze medal at the Asian Physics Olympiad.

Two students, Le Anh Duc, a student in class 11A2, and Ho Sy Viet Cuong, a student in class 12A2, will participate in the Asian Informatics Olympiad, which will take place on May 9th and 10th this year in Indonesia, through an online competition held domestically.

Hoang Anh Tai, a student in class 12 A1, will participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad, scheduled to be held in Chiangmai (Thailand) from July 4th to 16th, 2015. Remarkably, after 18 years since Nguyen Canh Hao won a Silver Medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad, this is the first time Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted has had a student participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Representatives from the school's administration presented gifts to the students.

According to teacher Dau Hoang Hung, Hoang Anh Tai's homeroom teacher, he comes from Do Luong district and comes from a rather difficult family background. His mother is a kindergarten teacher in Yen Son commune, Do Luong district, and his father suffered from a serious illness and passed away when he was in 10th grade. However, with exceptional determination, he won second prize in the recent national excellent student competition and was one of eight students from Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted specializing in Mathematics to participate in the second round of selection for the 2015 International Mathematical Olympiad.

Thus, with 4 students participating in the Asian and International Student Excellence Competitions, this is the year Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted has the largest number of students participating in international and regional competitions ever.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Ngo Sy Thuy, the Vice Principal representing the school's Board of Directors, once again congratulated the students on their successes and hoped they would study well to confidently enter the exam.

Representatives of the Alumni Association presented gifts to the students and wished them the best of luck in the upcoming exams.

On this occasion, Mr. Ngoc Kim Nam, a former student from the 12th graduating class and representative of the Alumni Association, informed the school's Board of Directors about the meaningful activities the Alumni Association has carried out in the past, such as expressing gratitude to former teachers, giving gifts to soldiers on duty protecting maritime sovereignty, supporting folk artists in difficult circumstances, and organizing performances to spread the art of Vi and Giam folk singing in Vinh, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City.

Mr. Ngoc Kim Nam, representing the Alumni Association, briefed the school's administration on the Association's activities.

From these activities, the Alumni Association established the "Golden Heart Fund" to support its activities. This time, the Fund awarded four scholarships to students in regional and international Olympic teams, each worth 5 million VND. Currently, the Association is mobilizing alumni to contribute to the construction of a memorial house for Phan Boi Chau at his memorial site in Nam Dan district. Representatives of the Alumni Association also congratulated the school on its success and wished the students the best results in the upcoming exams, continuing to write the glorious history of generations of Phan Boi Chau students.
