World Schools at Cape Town – Try-outs
The World Schools 2012 championships are scheduled for January 17 – 27 at Cape Town, South Africa. Three students – Ramanathan Vignesh (Class XII), Arjun Vignesh (Class XI) & Meenakshi Krishnaraj (Class X) qualified for the try-outs that featured 27 students from across the participant schools in the ISDS League. Even though first timers to the Try-outs, all three did creditably with Ramanthan Vignesh placed 11th, Arjun Vignesh 7th, among the 27 on the last day of the event. The objective of sending the three who qualified for the Try-outs was to give them international quality learning and one should say, from their placements, their learning is much enhanced at the end of the exercise.
