In a statement congratulating the team on Thursday, the Ministry of Education said:"Our students demonstrated their depth of knowledge and understanding across a wide range of physical and human geography topics, including carrying out a virtual fieldwork exercise set in Paris."
The team also participated in the iGeo poster presentation, where they shared Singapore's response to the effects of plastic pollution on aquatic ecosystems and oceans, as well as its impact on the country. Singaporean students also placed 10th at the 34th International Olympiad in Informatics in August, and were 24th at the 63rd International Mathematical Olympiad and fifth in the 33rd International Biology Olympiad, both held in July.
Teams also clinched a joint sixth place at the 54th International Chemistry Olympiad and ninth at the 52nd International Physics Olympiad. MOE said:"Through a variety of enriching learning experiences, our students benefited from the opportunity to interact with like-minded peers from all around the world, and they continued to fly the Singapore flag high in the international arena."
