Sekolah Harapan Bangsa Cambridge Students In Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards, Indonesia

Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards are a group of awards issued by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) that recognise exceptional learner achievement in Cambridge examinations around the world.

This year’s June 2022 examinations highlighted two students from Sekolah Harapan Bangsa (SHB) in its International Cambridge unit. Top in Indonesia Award for subjects Chemistry and Physics for International A Level and ICT for International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE.)

“Top in Indonesia” refers to the learner who has gained the highest standard mark in a single subject in Indonesia or in any country in the world thus the award Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards, Indonesia. There may be other learners in a country who scored exactly the same mark. Since their achievement is equal, they will receive equal recognition and will also be awarded the Cambridge ‘Top in Country’ award for that subject.

The first awardee is Farrell Nathaniel Azvari Sidauruk who completed his Junior College 2 (JC 2) in June 2022 with his Cambridge International A Level. Top in Indonesia in Chemistry and Physics are his two recognitions and another award, First in Indonesia in the “Best Across Three”, is awarded to any examination candidate who has attained the first highest cumulative total standard marks over a set number of subjects. Farrell is now enrolled in the prestigious Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST, HK) with his Mathematics degree.

The second awardee is Nathan Alexander Yang who received the Top in Indonesia for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE.)

It is hoped that this will inspire our students not only in SHB but all across Indonesia to do their best and be encouraged in their future education and careers by this recognition of their academic success with the International Cambridge curriculum.

The awardees will be invited to celebrate their achievements and collect their certificates during the annual awards ceremony on February 22, 2023 in Jakarta.

Congratulations to Farrell and Nathan and to Sekolah Harapan Bangsa Cambridge for a job well done. Kudos!
