As the academic year 2025 – 2026 draws to a close, alongside outstanding on-campus academic achievements, the student communities across RT Holdings schools have once again filled teachers and parents with pride. Together, they have continuously brought home resounding victories from domestic and international arenas spanning academics, arts, technology, and sports.
WASSers and Historic triumphs in technology and academics
This academic year 2025 – 2026 marked a historic milestone as WASS’s “talented engineers” etched their names onto the one of the top 18 teams representing Vietnam to compete at the VEX Robotics World Championship in St. Louis, Missouri (USA).
The overseas journey of 14 young WASSers, led by coach Nguyen Dong Bang, yielded impressive rankings: 28/83 in the Qualification round for the Design Division (VEX IQ category) and 34/357 in the Skills Ranking. This world-class platform was not only a stage for WASSers to showcase their technological prowess but also an invaluable opportunity to connect internationally and gain priceless lessons on their journey of maturity.
Beyond the technology playground, at the City-Level Round of the VioEdu Arena, WASSers also secured a “shower of awards,” including 2 Gold, 5 Silver, 5 Bronze, and 17 Consolation Awards. These brilliant accolades reaffirm the sharp mindsets of WASSers and stand as a powerful testament to the School’s comprehensive quality of education.
Jaguars confidently assert prowess in the pool and intellect arenas
Equally impressive, the Jaguar warriors of Sydney School (SISS) experienced an explosive season at the Ho Chi Minh City Student Sports Competition. A standout performance came from a Grade 5 “swimmer” who overcame the psychological challenges of the 50-meter race to sweep an impressive collection of medals: First Prize in 50-meter Butterfly and Second Prize in 50-meter Breaststroke at the Qualifying Round, advancing straight to the City-Level Round to claim Second Prize in 50-meter Breaststroke and Third Prize in 50-meter Butterfly.
Parallel to their powerful strokes in the blue lanes, the Jaguars’ resilience was clearly demonstrated in the VioEdu Arena. Conquering 11 intense rounds in the General Arena, they brought 1 Bronze Medal and 1 Consolation Award for the SISS family.
“Eagle Leaders” prove versatility on the journey to conquer every arena
For the PennSchool community, the academic year 2025 – 2026 concluded with a multicolored tapestry of achievements stretching across academics, arts, and sports.
The Regional Round of the World Scholar’s Cup 2026, themed “Are We There Yet,” took our #HomeOfTheEagles on a journey of intellectual exploration from philosophy and science to history. Armed with sharp critical thinking and excellent teamwork, they secured an overwhelming victory: 5 Trophies, 30 Gold Medals, and 16 Silver Medals.
At the City-Level Round of the VioEdu Arena, PennSchool students further contributed to the School’s collective scoreboard with 1 Bronze Medal and 4 Consolation Awards.
Not only excelling in academics, PennSchool students also asserted their artistic souls and tactical mastery at national tournaments. At the Piano Talent Festival 2026, two young PennSchool artists excellently won 1 Gold Medal and 1 Bronze Medal, leaving a bold mark at one of the most prestigious annual music awards.
The most emotionally proud “final achievement” of the academic year belonged to PennSchool’s talented chess prodigy, who captured a prestigious First Place after intense, mind-bending matches at the National Chess and Go Cup Championship 2026 held in HCMC.
Looking back at our students’ golden board of achievements over the past academic year, one thing becomes crystal clear: every award is not merely a title, but the fruit of relentless effort, daring to dream, and daring to act.
It is the strategic guidance from RT Holdings schools, the unwavering support of families, and above all, the inner fire of passion within each student that created these sweet rewards. Today’s experiences and victories will undoubtedly serve as a solid launchpad for them to confidently step out into the world, ready to embrace challenges and shine even brighter in the upcoming academic year.
