Memory Mastermind
Year 8 pupil Andy S continues to demonstrate remarkable talents across the academic spectrum. A recipient of the MCQ Ivy Elite Program Scholarship Andy is currently the Guinness World Record holder for the ‘Mental Calendar’ - meaning that he can calculate the day of the week for a specific date in the future without the help of any calculating tools. Andy has been recognised as a Four-Star Memory Master of Chinese Classics at the Global Memory Championships and has performed multiple times at the Ultimate Brain Summit. He has also been invited to display his memory skills and record for Dragon TV’s ‘China’s Got Talent’! Andy’s talents also stretch to language; he recently won the regional elementary division of the SPBCN International Spelling Bee and was awarded the Excellence Award in the China division, enabling him to participate in the Champion Training Camp! Andy’s academic future is wonderfully bright, and we look forward to seeing him excel further.
