It has been a fantastic start to the new term for the World Scholars Cup club at WASCZ. The expansion of the extra curricula activity has meant that we can now offer it to student from years 9-13 and the uptake has been incredible. Over forty students have enrolled, and all are looking forward to attending their first competition. We have further expanded the club to include the National High School Debate League of China and we are looking forward to taking teams to an event in Shanghai this term where they will take part in Public Forum competitive debating.

Every autumn, pupils return to school and some soon realize that they have fallen prey to the “Summer Slump”: when unused academic skills lay dormant for too long and the pupil must work to relearn skills they already knew.
