Philippine School Doha stays true to its motto, Service and Excellence, as young PSDians from across all grade levels competed and won in the National Round of the Philippine International Math and Science Olympics Competition (PIMSO) held last November 27 at the EVB Gymnasium and selected classrooms. The PIMSO Competition was coordinated through the Math and Science teachers of each grade level.
The competition’s objective is to advocate for the excellence and proficiency of the students in the areas of Mathematics and Science using global contests as its medium. Moreover, PIMSO also aims to “promote Philippine tourism to other country partners worldwide”.
The PIMSO Competition concluded successfully with students bringing home medals, certificates, and pride to their homes and respective departments. The following are the results in percentage form:
