Paramount Championship is finally OVER!!!

The Paramount Championship is finally OVER!! It was so draining. The finals were on Monday and Tuesday, and I was more drained at the end of the both days than I usually am at the end of a normal teaching day.

Here's something to boast about for my class. We got third overall for Upper Secondary! Woo hoo!!! Honestly I didn't expect to us even be in the running for an overall top three. We got knocked out of so many events, I thought we'd be at the bottom or something. Hehehe. I forgot that there were several classes who didn't participate in most events. When they announced the third place, I think I'm the only one who screamed for joy. Haha.

Here's our medal tally:

GOLD
1) Poetry recital
2) Mandarin debate
3) Band performance

SILVER
1) Seasons drums
2) Group singing
3) Solo instrument

BRONZE
1) BM Essay
2) BM Sajak
3) English speech


Honestly I was just so sick and tired of the Paramount Championship because it was really draining, even for the days leading up to the finals (preliminaries in action). But I'm glad the kids had fun and I think they should be immensely proud of their achievements, even if they didn't win a medal.

Speaking of the band, everyone watched them perform as they were the last band to go on for the competition, which was the last event of the championship. They totally rocked the house and they were the champions, hands down. Maybe they should start playing gigs to earn the money we lost from the Open Day booth... hmmm....
