The English School Geography students do it again… even better than last year!

Our Students win the first six places in the Pan-Cyprian Cyprus Geographical Association Competition held on the 18^th of February at the University of Cyprus campus.  This involved two tests one of 45 minutes and the other of 3 hours! 

The International Geography Olympiad (iGeo) is a competition for the best 16 to 19 year old geography students from all over the world. Four students represent each country in a series of Geography tests in (generally) a four-five day program. 
 
An adult Team leader and International Board Member accompany each national team.  The 14th International Geography Olympiad will be held in Belgrade Serbia under the auspices of the International Geographical Union Olympiad Task Force.  The Olympiad will run from the 2nd to 8th August 2017.
 
The Cyprus Geographical Association organised a Pan-Cyprian Competition to select the four students that will represent Cyprus in the iGEO competition in Belgrade.
 
We were thrilled to find out that the first six places of the competition were awarded to our students:
1.     Savvas Markou
2.     Andreas Stylianou
3.     Constantinos Anastasiou
4.     Athina Eftychiou

The runner-ups are:
1.     Charalambous Ioannou
2.     Gorgem Ataben.
 
In last year’s competition, three of our students won medals at the iGeo competition in Beijing bringing home two silver and one bronze medal. 
 

The distinguished students are:

• Constantinos Lordos, The English School, Silver medal
• Savvas Markou, The English School, Silver medal
• Orestes Michaelides, English School, Bronze medal

In light of this amazing accomplishment, the Ministry of Education promised to financially support this year’s participants, which is wonderful news.
 
Well done to our students!  This once again reflects on the excellence of our school and the passion our students have.
 
We are sure that these students will once again put Cyprus and The English School on the Global Stage at the Geographical Olympiad this year and in years to come!
