Congratulations to Lilian Felina Morales (DLSZ 2017) and Victoria Helene Manalo (DLSZ 2017) for winning Third Place in the Creative Poetry Challenge of the recently concluded International English Language Academic Heptathlon held last July 21-23 at Methodist Girls’ School in Ipoh, Malaysia.
They bested other 173 contestants from different schools in the said challenge. They creatively recited the poem “War Photography” by Carol Ann Duffy on the prepared round, and were given five minutes to prepare for and write an original poem on the impromptu round.
The participants for the other challenges were Alyzza May Horri, Raymond Elijah Tiuseco and Jan Kirsten Jardenil.
The event was an English proficiency competition that tested the participants’ ability through seven challenges. The aim of the competition was to promote international unity among young students and provide a long-term pathway to develop their potential as English language learners.
Ms. Maria Luisa Saldo, the High School English Coordinator, accompanied the students in the three-day event.
Congratulations, Lilian Felina and Victoria Helene!
