We are pleased to celebrate the achievements of our students who recently took part in this year’s Biology Challenge, a well-regarded international competition that attracted over 42,000 participants worldwide. Open to students in Year 9 and Year 10, the challenge is designed to stimulate curiosity and recognise strong biological thinking.

Our students performed very well within a strong international field. This year’s award boundaries were set at a high standard, with Gold awarded to the top 5% of students, followed by Silver (top 10%) and Bronze (top 15%).

We are delighted to recognise our award winners:

Gold: Nichamon Kin, Maneeyada Leelahanaj
Silver: Leah Lin, Quinn Tatiyamaneekul
Bronze: Sasha Azubel, Natha Mahadumrongkul

The competition consists of two 25-minute multiple-choice papers, taken online under staff-supervised exam conditions. While questions draw on the school curriculum, students are also rewarded for exploring Biology beyond the classroom—through wider reading, engagement with scientific media, and an interest in the natural world, including flora and fauna.

It was encouraging to see such thoughtful engagement and enthusiasm for Biology across all participants. Well done to everyone involved on a commendable achievement.
