暖冬十二月，深圳再次迎来了备受瞩目的世界学者杯（WSC）区域赛。对于早已参赛过的曼校孩子们来说，这场赛事他们已蓄力整整一年。这一次，终于到了他们绽放光芒的时刻，而他们也不负众望，交出了一份惊艳答卷！

赛场之上，曼校学子火力全开，狂揽6座大奖杯、55枚金牌、38枚银牌，5支队伍成功晋级2026“世界学者杯”全球轮！

从Chloe斩获的奖牌太多奖牌而“脖子变重”，到两支荣获奖杯的优秀队伍，再到 Clark 登上辩论展示舞台，一展思辨风采，一颗颗闪耀的学术新星，在曼校的沃土上冉冉升起！

不只是学长学姐们光芒万丈，初登赛场的新面孔也同样吸睛。前海校区派出了四名新晋备赛学者，这是他们首次征战世界学者杯，不仅顺利完成了全程挑战，还一举拿下了人生中第一只迷你羊驼玩偶和奖牌；龙华校区的新学者们则在往届学长学姐的悉心指导下参赛，不同校区学子在赛事中互帮互助、协同共进的画面，成为了赛场外一道格外暖心的风景线。

值得一提的是，来自前海校区的Felix Hu，以及Matthew、Henry三位同学还勇敢站上了才艺秀的舞台。Felix Hu在 300 余名观众面前放声歌唱，Matthew与Henry则带来了全新改编的世界学者杯合唱曲目。他们的表演，不仅展现了过人的才艺，更诠释了曼校学子敢闯敢拼的勇气、不断追求卓越的韧劲与绝不轻言放弃的决心！

而本次赛事最大的惊喜，当属由Tidus Ang、Lucas Ang和Celine Li组成的队伍 —— 他们力压群雄，成功斩获区域赛全场顶级晋级资格！三位同学对知识的执着钻研、面对挑战的灵活应变与飞速成长，是本次赛事最亮眼的高光时刻。在此，必须为他们送上最热烈的喝彩，再多的感叹号，也道不尽学校和老师们为他们感到的骄傲！

曼校的学者们，世界正在等待你们！

On the field, Merchiston students fired on all cylinders, clinching 6 trophies, 55 gold medals and 38 silver medals. Five teams successfully advanced to the 2026 "World Scholar's Cup" Global Round!

New scholars also had a chance to share in the spotlight. Qianhai sent four scholars-in-training that went through their first WSC experience and won both their first mini-alpacas and medals. Longhua also sent its new scholars who received guidance from our returning scholars, it is a joy to see such collaboration taking place in the different events!

Kudos as well to Felix Hu from Qianhai as well as Matthew and Henry for participating in the talent show, the first singing in front of over 300 people and the two others presenting an updated version of a WSC sing-along, what amazing examples of bravery, hard-work and determination!

 Finally, I would be remiss if I did not congratulate the team of Tidus Ang, Lucas Ang and Celine Li for being chosen as the TOP qualifiers of all the teams in this regional round! Your dedication to learning and ability to adapt and grow has been one of the highlights of this round! I wish I had even more exclamation marks to tell you how proud I am and all of teachers are of your achievements. 

Scholars of Merchiston, the world awaits you! Pwaa!
