BTH World Scholars Club goes to Stockholm!

For WSC members, it was a start of making history-a trip to Stockholm, Sweden to fly the BTH flag by representing the school in a number of academic challenges and some good WSC fun.

The teams consisted of: Zawadi, Shannel, Nikita (super juniors), Adol, Nedra, Parlsie (Juniors) and Amara, Zahri and Amina (Seniors).

A big well done to the students for the following achievements and successes:

Zawadi- for writing a compelling personal statement that led her to be chosen as the flag bearer for Kenya, amidst so many other applications from other international schools present.

Be it doing the Turkish groom dance at the Scholars Ball, travelling back in time to the 1960’s in the vividly awakening Vasa Museum, making new friends while doing the Scholars Scavenge at Skansen Zoo, exploring the streets of Old Town Sweden called Gamla Stan or screaming at the top of our lungs on rides at Grona Lunds Tivoli Amusement Park, we showed the Braeside spirit through it all. And so we forge on, learning how best to Reimagine the Present as we plan for a better future. And so, 9 days later, we travelled back, having made a difference. Here, at WSC, we do not worry when things go wrong; instead, we learn and we do kintsugi (kintsugi means repair in Japanese).
