Six students from the Ateneo de Manila Junior High School (AJHS) earned one silver and five bronze medals at the Hong Kong International Science Olympiad (HKISO) Heat Round held last December.
Gab Asuncion (8-Canisius) led the AJHS medalists with a silver. The bronze medalists were Nathan Ballatan (10-Pongracz), Aloni Fuellas (7-Alonso), Aegean Nakila (10-Rodrigues), Gio Nisperos (8-Canisius), and Chico Pauig (10-Pignatelli).
Hosted annually by the Math Olympiads Training League Inc. (MOTLI), the HKISO Heat Round 2024 took place on 8 December 2024, with participation from thousands of students nationwide. All bronze, silver, and gold medalists qualify for the HKISO Final Round, which will be held onsite in Singapore and online on 14 June 2025.
The HKISO is an annual global science competition encompassing four main categories: Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Integrated Science. It is designed for students from grades 2 to 12 and closely follows the Hong Kong School Science Syllabus, assessing students based on their grade-level understanding of the content.
