iGeo - Cyprus National Team
The entire 4-member Cyprus National team representing Cyprus at the 14th i Geo in Belgrade Serbia from the 2nd to the 8th of August was made up of English School Students.
The Team members were
1) Savvas Marcou Year 7 geography student
2) Andreas Stylianou Year 7 geography student
3) Charalambos Ioannou Year 7 geography student
4) Athena Eftychiou Year 6 geography student
These students won the national competition and were awarded prizes by the Cyprus Geographical Association and the Ministry of Education.
In fact the Ministry of Education in recognition of the success of our three students from the previous year who won two Silver and one Bronze medals at the 13th I Geo competition in Beijing China paid for all the travel costs of this year’s delegation.
At a ceremony held at the Ministry of Education on the 26th of June, the Minister of Education awarded the students, teachers and The English School, certificates for their achievements.
This year Savvas Marcou and Andreas Stylianou won two bronze medals. Charalambos and Athena narrowly missed the medals.
We are looking forward to this year’s national competition and hoping to represent Cyprus at the 15th I Geo to be held in Quebec, Canada.
