At the beginning of 2023, continuous good news flew to NBHIS! Gleeful news of global awards from AMC10/12 was just released, and now our DP students again won several global and national awards of Junior Canadian Chemistry Olympiad! For the second time our students participating in JCCO, five participants stood out from thousands of students from different schools all over China. Among our winners:
Jimmy Shang won Global Bronze Award and National Gold Award
Chase Yin won National Silver Awards Ethan Sui won National Silver AwardsYandy Li won Global Merit Award and Regional Honorable AwardPennie Pan won Regional Honorable Award
在这次化学测评备赛过程中，指导老师申菲菲和参赛学子们共同度过了数周高效、温馨的辅导时光，同学们发挥了积极探索、勇于挑战的求知精神。通过知识点梳理串讲和历年真题训练，他们精进强化了学科思维，进一步夯实了化学基础，提高了学术水平。此次测评不仅体现了同学们扎实的知识储备和无限潜力，同时也倍增了他们未来挑战更多更高难度赛事的信心。
During the preparation for this competition, our tutor Amelia Shen and the participants spent several weeks of efficient and warm tutoring time together. The students developed the spirit of active exploration and challenge. Through sorting out knowledge points and training on past questions, they have intensified disciplinary thinking, further strengthened the foundation and improved their academic level. This competition not only demonstrated students' knowledge reserve and unlimited potential, but also increased their confidence to challenge more difficult competitions in the future.

Winners’ Reflections on JCCO -
尚浩吉（全球铜奖&全国金奖）
很高兴在这次化学竞赛中取得奖项。感谢申菲菲老师的教导和培养，感谢学校为我们提供的这次机会。在以后的日子里我会继续努力学习，争取赢得更多奖项，谢谢！
Jimmy Shang (Global Bronze Award & National Gold Award):
I'm glad to win the award in the chemistry competition. Thank teacher Amelia for her instruction and cultivation, thank the school for providing us with this opportunity. I will still study hard in the future and try to win more awards. Thank you!
尹涵畅 （全国银奖）
特别感谢陪伴我们一同刷题的申菲菲老师。化学的部分概念还是需要老师的帮助才好理解的，同时对于化学来说概念往往在解题上尤为重要。所以老师能够为此腾出时间辅导我们，对我来说是很幸运的一件事。
Chase Yin (National Silver Award):
A special thanks to teacher Amelia who accompanied us during our preparation. Some of the concepts in chemistry need the help of a teacher to understand them well, and they are often important in solving problems. I was very lucky that my teacher was able to give us the time to do this.
隋翼 （全国银奖）
我很感激也很荣幸获得这个奖项。非常感谢我的化学老师申菲菲老师的辅导培训并帮助我们进行真题训练。这次的化学竞赛让我获得了新的经验，我希望下次竞赛能取得更加优秀的成绩，我将会继续努力学习。
Ethan Sui (National Silver Award):
I am overwhelmed with gratitude to have been selected to receive this certification. Thanks a lot to my chemistry teacher Ms. Amelia for teaching us and giving us practice papers. I got new experience and I'm willing that I can get a higher score next time, so I'll keep studying, and work hard.
李彦腾 （全球优秀奖&全国区域优秀奖）
很荣幸在这次JCCO中获得奖项，这次竞赛对我来说也是一次历练，可以更好的发现当下的不足。人们常说经过大海的一番磨砺，卵石才变得更加美丽光滑，正当青春年华，就应当奋力拼搏，不负青春，不负你我。
Yandy Li (Global Merit Award & Regional Honorable):
I am honored to win this award in the Junior Canadian Chemistry Olympiad. This competition is a challenge for me and at the same time an experience to better discover the deficiencies of the present. Steel needs to be tempered, and only hard work will bring rewards.
潘妍（全国区域优秀奖）
我是潘妍，来自JCCO的这一成就并没有令我满意，实际上还充满了遗憾。我没能达到我的期望。比赛中遇到的一些问题都是熟悉的知识点组成的，但我仍然犯了一些不必要的错误。对于参加学术竞赛的剩余机会，我将仔细准备，并在其他即将到来的竞争中做到最好！
Pennie Pan (Regional Honorable Award):
Hello, I’m Pennie. This achievement from JCCO rather brought me sense of regret than satisfaction for the results didn’t actually reach my expectations. The questions in the contest were all of familiar knowledge, but somehow I made some unnecessary mistakes. For the remaining opportunities to participate in academic contests, I will prepare carefully and do my best in other upcoming competitions！

Comments from Tutor Amelia Shen
化学竞赛旨在为学生的自主学习，发展兴趣提供一个空间。同时也助于培养学生的自制力和学习毅力。竞赛知识是对课本知识的一个升华和补充，是教材知识的自然生长点。结合竞赛大纲，我们辅导时会讲解一部分与课本内容联系较紧密的有关联的高层次知识，它可以帮助学生更加深刻的理解一些比较艰深的化学原理，帮助拓宽学生思考问题的视角，使知识更加生动，更加立体化。你会发现，学生的思维是很跳跃的，他们往往能提出一些很有针对性又有深度的问题。因此，化学竞赛能够很好的培养训练学生的思维能力，知识运用能力，从而提高学生的综合竞争力。
The chemistry competitions aim to provide students an opportunity to learn independently and develop their interests. At the same time, it also helps to cultivate students' self-control and learning perseverance. Competition contents is a sublimation and supplement to textbook contents, and is the natural growth point of the textbook. In combination with the competition outline, we will explain some high-level knowledge closely related to the textbook content when tutoring. It can help students to have a better understanding on chemical principles, help to widen students’ perspective of thinking, and make knowledge more vivid. You will find that students' thinking is very jumpy, and they can often put forward some very targeted and in-depth questions. Therefore, chemistry competitions can well train students' ability of thinking and knowledge application, thus improving students' comprehensive competitiveness.
加拿大化学测评（初级）JCCO简介
加拿大初级化学测评（初级）（The Junior Canadian Chemistry Olympiad，简称JCCO），是由国际权威化学学术机构——加拿大化学奥林匹克活动组委会主办，是加拿大学术性最权威的初级化学奥林匹克活动之一，也是北美极具影响力的初级化学思维挑战活动。该活动是为加拿大化学思维挑战活动（CCC）做预选准备，希望更多的学生可以参与其中，并培养对于化学的兴趣。
The Junior Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (JCCO) is one of the most well-known competitions for middle students hosted by Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC). The Junior Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (JCCO) is an annual event that aims to promote interest in chemistry amongst students grade 8-11. Participation in the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad is a tremendous experience and it is also a unique opportunity to travel and meet fellow students from around the world who have similar interests.
奖项是结果，而成长则是过程。华茂国际学校一直鼓励学生积极探索，勇于尝试，挑战自我，在实践中不断提升综合素养。未来我们期待更多的学子在各种竞赛学术领域中崭露锋芒！
The award is the result, but the growth is the process. NBHIS always encourages students to actively explore and challenge themselves, and thus constantly improve their comprehensive abilities in practice. In the future, we expect more students to show their talents in various academic fields!
