3 students participating in international competitions all won Gold Medals

Thus, all students of the school participating in the international arena in 2024 won Gold Medals.

This is the first time in a school year that Bac Giang High School for the Gifted has had 3 students win 3 Gold Medals at international Olympic competitions. This is also the best achievement that Bac Giang High School for the Gifted students have achieved at this intellectual playground and in the history of the school.

Specifically, at the 2024 International Physics Olympiad, Vietnam had 2 students win Gold Medals, both of whom were students of Bac Giang High School for the Gifted (including Than The Cong and Truong Phi Hung, both in class 12 specializing in Physics), contributing to helping the Vietnamese delegation be among the countries with the highest results at the exam.

At the 2024 International Chemistry Olympiad, Bac Giang High School for the Gifted had 1 student (Giap Vu Son Ha, grade 12 majoring in Chemistry) among 3 students who won a Gold Medal, helping the Vietnamese team rank 2nd out of 89 participating countries and territories (tied for second place with the US team and only behind the Chinese team).

Sharing with VietNamNet , Mr. Tran Duy Phuong, Principal of Bac Giang High School for the Gifted, said that not only he but also the school in particular and the education sector of Bac Giang province in general were very happy to continuously receive the results of the students. "When we received the news that the Vietnamese team participating in the International Physics Olympiad won 2 Gold Medals and both were students of the school, we were very surprised. The school always put trust and expectations in the students but did not think that they would achieve such excellent results.

For the school, two Gold Medals in one year was already a miracle. But not long after that, we continued to receive information that Son Ha won another Gold Medal at the International Chemistry Olympiad. Indeed, our joy was indescribable, bursting with many emotions," said Mr. Phuong.

According to Mr. Phuong, this is also the best result in the school's more than 30-year history of construction and development in the international arena.

“There were times when the school had students participating in international competitions. In 2018 and 2019, the school had student Trinh Duy Hieu participate in the International Olympiad for 2 consecutive years but the highest result was only a Silver Medal. This year, the school's students won 3 Gold Medals at the International Olympiad, including 2 medals in Physics and 1 in Chemistry,” Mr. Phuong shared.

Not only in the international Olympic arena, these 3 students also brought other achievements to Bac Giang High School for the Gifted.

Than The Cong won first prize in the national Physics competition for excellent students for three consecutive years (grades 10, 11, and 12). This male student also won medals at the Asian Physics Olympiad for two consecutive years, including the Gold Medal at the 2024 Asian Physics Olympiad and the Bronze Medal at the 2023 Asian Physics Olympiad.

Truong Phi Hung previously won a Bronze Medal at the 2024 Asian Physics Olympiad.

Giap Vu Son Ha also won a Silver Medal at the Abu Reikhan Beruniy International Chemistry Olympiad in 2023.

With this result, 3 students of Bac Giang High School for the Gifted were also directly admitted to domestic universities.

The principal said that this result came from the hard work and dedication of teachers and students throughout the past time.

“The results achieved by the students this year have made teachers very excited, as if adding more motivation for teachers to continue to make efforts and contribute to teaching and nurturing students. This result has a great influence on students of Bac Giang High School for the Gifted in particular and on students in the whole province in general. On this basis, we really hope and expect that generations of students of the school will continue to follow the example of their predecessors to strive, bringing better results for themselves and the school,” said Mr. Phuong.
