Three high school students from SISC were named finalists in the secondary school category of the 2018 New York Times Asia-Pacific Writing Competition. The essays of Miguel Dominico Alzona, Akisha Julianne Cu and Vincent Romero were among the 30 finalists chosen out of thousands of entries submitted to the regional essay competition.
Responding to the question śCan people still achieve a better life through migration?ť, Alzona wrote a 500-word opinion piece entitled śAfrica™s Curtain Call,ť Cu penned śThe Elusive Dream of Migrantsť and Romero composed śImmigration, The New Colossus.ť
The competition encourages students to become more informed and globally minded about important issues in the region and around the world by reading the news and engaging with current affairs.
